Larry and Andy are both right, but Andy is righter :) Larry fixed your
original code to work as a MACRO, but it still left the bug in it that it
would print your text three times. The replace vmethod in TT works like the
replace method in javascript in that the original string is not modified, but
a modified version is returned. In your case you replaced three times so it
would print out three times.
perl -e '
my $s = q{[% a="b"; c=a.replace("b","d"); "a=$a, c=$c" %]};
use Template; Template->new->process(\$s); print "\n"'
prints
a=b, c=d
Changing to the chaining method makes it so that you only end up with one
result. Andy's amendment of adding GET to your solution results in the
proper MACRO getting created.
But you probably know this all by now anyway.
