Hi Mark,

this is a known limitation, ePerl tags cannot be nested, and as <grid>
do use ePerl, you cannot put ePerl code into <cell> tags.

Good news is that there is a solution, explained in wml_macros(7).
Try
 	#use wml::std::grid
 	#use wml::std::page
 
 	<page>
 	<grid>
 	<cell>Here comes some Perl code</cell>
 	<cell><perl><perl:print>Hello</perl:print></perl></cell>
 	</grid>
