Problems Setting Up Apache::Template

ignatz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

From the Junior Sysadmin Dept:

For the first time I'm trying to set up Apache::Template on a server (httpd 1.3.17 on Solaris) and the output from them templates is including some wacky extra characters:

## /usr/local/www/docroot/simple.tt2 line 1 : [% INCLUDE simpletop.tt2
+ %] ##
<html><head><title>Simple</title></head><body>
<h2>yadayadayada</h2>


## /usr/local/www/docroot/simple.tt2 line 4 : [% PERL %] ##
Fri Mar 14 13:13:24 2003<br>


## /usr/local/www/docroot/simple.tt2 line 11 : [% INCLUDE simplebottom
+.tt2 %] ##
</body></html>
[download]

Here are the templates:

yada.tt2

[% INCLUDE simpletop.tt2 %]
<h2>yadayadayada</h2>

[% PERL %]

print scalar localtime;
print '<br>';

[% END %]

[% INCLUDE simplebottom.tt2 %]

simpletop.tts

<html><head>
<title>Simple</title></head><body>

simplebottom.tts

</body>
</html>

from httpd.conf

PerlModule Apache::Template

TT2CompileDir   /tmp/tt2

#TT2PreProcess   config.tt2
TT2IncludePath  /usr/local/www/inc/tt2 

<Files *.tt2>
    SetHandler      perl-script
    PerlHandler     Apache::Template
</Files>

Alias /tt2 "/usr/local/www/inc/tt2"
<Location "/tt2">
    SetHandler      perl-script
    PerlHandler     Apache::Template
</Location>

Any clues on how I can get this sucka to work?
