You can set the environment variables within Perl like so:

$ENV{'HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT'} = '/whatever/your/template/path/is';

You can also pass it from the environment (hence the name) but that
introduces some taint issues.  The "new" statement has a "path" option
as well, which will be checked after the environment variable.

And you can explicitly put the fully specified filename in the "new"
statement (by starting it with "/") - useful for debugging, but of
course if you do this everywhere and want to change it later, it
defeats the purpose of the path variables.
