Just for clarity's sake, here is the test script command and output:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
$ tests/View_mainpage.pl
### HTML::Template Debug ### In _parse:
### HTML::Template _param Stack Dump ###
$VAR1 = [
\'<html><body bgcolor="#FF00FF">Test!</body></html>
'
];
### HTML::Template Debug ### In output
### HTML::Template output Stack Dump ###
$VAR1 = [
\'<html><body bgcolor="#FF00FF">Test!</body></html>
'
];
Main Page..<html><body bgcolor="#FF00FF">Test!</body></html>
