Try this instead:

    if [[ ! -f "$TM_NEW_FILE" ]]; then
      TM_YEAR=`date +%Y` \
      TM_DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d` \
      cat template_in.txt License.txt \
      |perl -pe 's/\$\{([^}]*)\}/$ENV{$1}/g' > "$TM_NEW_FILE"
    fi

Here we use ‘cat’ to actually con_cat_enate two files, must be a  
first ;)

Note I also removed the setup of TM_USERNAME -- we now have  
TM_FULLNAME as a “built-in” since relying on niutil or similar was too  
fragile, but I forgot to update the template for the New Template.
