Re^2: 'Here Documents' and unrecognized escapes

I have done some reading of the manual pages that come with 'Template' and it seems pretty well suited to my needs. However one issue which makes it a little less than ideal is the fact it seems to require the template to be a separate text file, marked up apropriately. Have I got that right? Or can you use a string instead with the same markup? I suppose I could always write a temporary template file on the fly FROM a variable and then delete it when i am done... That feels like it defeats the object though!

The second example in the Template Toolkit documentation shows how to pass it a string for the template: `# text reference $text = "[% INCLUDE header %]\nHello world!\n[% INCLUDE footer %]" +; $tt->process(\$text) \|\| die $tt->error(), "\n";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Right you are Corion! Would you believe I just went back to the root manual page and noticed that. Sometimes the raw CPAN documentation can be a bit intimidating so I tend to look for tutorials first. Incorporating that information and... all is well. I'm suddenly a 'Template' library fan!!!
