My two guesses (I havn't tried any code): - the template file contains both \n and \r courtesy of your text editor and perhaps unbeknownst to you. The \r is getting expanded to an extra \n. Run the template file through unix2dos or an equivalent command to eliminate the extra line endings.
- the association to $q you are using is changing things. Whats happens if you don't use the association?
