in reply to Returning Variables from files

What format is the data in?

Assuming var_name=var_value format, and only working with scalars, try the following:

open HEADER, "header.txt" or die $!;

my %variables;

while (<HEADER>) {
    chomp;
    my ($name, $value) = split /=/;
    $variables{$name}  = $value;
}

close HEADER;

print <<EOF;

<html>
<head>
<title>$variables{title}</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello $variables{name}</p>
</body>
</html>

EOF

That should work if each name/value pair is separated by a newline.
