Is whitespace after the colon defining the local locfile a no-no?
No, it's fine.

I'll let somebody else take it from here.
Well, going a bit farther, that piece won't work either
(or rather, what the recipe will do is write to a file
with a filename starting with literally 'TEMP = `/home
To assign to a variable as an action, use "{"
for example,
:0ci
{
TEMP = `/home/other/pillar/match.pl`
}
That action can be squished onto one line:
:0ci
{ TEMP = `/home/other/pillar/match.pl` }
but be very careful to have whitespace after the "{".
