Re: IF in a loop using HTML::Template

In your template when you look for the param 'test' you are in the data loop.
tmpl_loops take a arrayref of hashref
ie,

$tmpl->param(data=>[{test=>1, foo=>1, bar=>1}]);

My understanding is that you can't refer to params outside of the loop. Like you are doing with the test param.

Is there any documentation on this issue somewhere?	[reply]

From the POD ... Inside a <TMPL_LOOP>, the only variables that are usable are the ones from the <TMPL_LOOP>. The variables in the outer blocks are not visible within a template loop. For the computer-science geeks among you, a <TMPL_LOOP> introduces a new scope much like a perl subroutine call. If you want your variables to be global you can use global_vars option to new() described below. HTML::Template -Kiel	[reply]

I meant that because I'm using this logic with CGI::Application, I need to research on the global variable case since it will be in a subroutine as in my first sample code posted earlier.	[reply]

I found what I needed based on information from you, by adding this line: "global_vars=1" - It treats parameters sent to the template as global. `my $t=HTML::Template->new(filename=>'temp.tmpl', global_vars => 1,);` [download] Thanks again for pointing me to the right direction!	[reply] [d/l]
