yes, this is correct, but not what is normally done.

you'd be better off doing an associate:

my $template = new HTML::Template(
		filename => 'template.tmpl', 
		associate => $CGI
	);

which will do the above for all cgi variables.  Use your method only if 
you want just one or two cgi vars sent to the template.
