That is because you didn't reset your $template, so your regex didn't match %%DESCRIPTION%%. Use can use a tmp variable to reset $template.
open (TEMPLATE, "<$template_file") or die "Can't open $template_file:
+$!";
$template = do { local $/; <TEMPLATE> };
close TEMPLATE;
$tmp_template = $template; #store the template
opendir (BIN, "$prod_dir") or die "Can't open $dir: $!";
while (defined ($file = readdir BIN)) {
next if ($file =~/^\.\.?$/); #skip file starting with period
+s
open (DESCR, "<$prod_dir/$file") or die "could not open $dir
+/$file: $!";
$description = do { local $/; <DESCR> };
$template = $tmp_template; # restore the template
$template =~ s/%%DESCRIPTION%%/$description/;
open (OUTPUT, ">$output_directory/$file.html");
print OUTPUT $template;
close OUTPUT;
next;
}
closedir (BIN);
