Okay, you really aren't showing much code here.  From what you did
show, I'm guessing you're doing this:

my $govlevel = $page->param("str");
print_html();

sub print_html {
    print "blah blah $govlevel blah blah";
}

That doesn't work because the sub becomes a closure and never notices
when you create new versions of $govlevel.  The fix is to pass
$govlevel to the sub as a parameter.
