I don't think you ever showed us the code.  You just showed the code
where you print the HTML.  If you can show us a complete sub and how
you call it, we can tell you if it looks right.

Yes, even if y ou have a scoping problem, code that is in the "main"
part of your script, outside of subs, should be able to see the
correct values.

Use a hash:

foo(x => 1, y => 2);

sub foo {
   my %args = @_;
   print $args{x}, $args{y};

You have to use PerlRun or some other mod_perl handler.
