These might help:

Ah right, it doesn't sound like the PRE_CHOMP/POST_CHOMP is the answer 
then.  If the problem is happening with static text then it suggests a 
problem with your line endings.  This appears to be the same problem:

http://mail.template-toolkit.org/pipermail/templates/2009-September/010927.html

There's a work-around posted there but it would be good to get to the 
root cause of the problem.  It might be as simple as adding the BINMODE 
option.

     my $tt = Template->new( BINMODE => 1 );

That might be enough to coerce Perl into saving the correct line endings 
into the output file.  Try that and see if it makes any difference.
