When CGI mapserver processes the map file and the html template it
subtitutes [...] tags with the actual value of that variable.
You can see the value of those variables if you put the tags into
your template. For example
<p>Actual scale 1:[scale]</p>

on the client side you get (looking at the page source)
<p>Actual scale 1:2345.234</>
or something similar.
