No, but you might need to pass them into subroutines you define in the
module (depending on what you want to do).

That depends on what you want the module to do.

The module itself needs to return a true value, this is usually achieved
by sticking "1;" at the end of it.

Your subroutines may or may not return variables depending on what you
want them to do.

Its possible, but I find that building a data structure that represents
the page, then dropping it into a template (using Template-Toolkit of
HTML::Template) makes things more manageable.
