in reply to HTML::Template::Pro - Issue with template files larger than 8K

Doesn't happen to me (Perl v5.10.0; OpenSuse 11.0/Apache 2.2.19; HTML-Template-Pro-0.9510):

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use HTML::Template::Pro;
my $tmpl = HTML::Template::Pro->new(filename=>'/tmp/blah.html');
print qq|Content-Type: text/html\n\n|;

print $tmpl->output();
1;

Has to be something specific to your setup. Does it work when you run it on the command line?

    Yep, thanks, I totally forgot to run from command line. Well, from command line it works just fine.. I upped the size of the template file to about 5MB and no issues with command line. Is that weird or what?!? So I suspect that the issue is rather at the Apache level. I guess I will just reset my httpd.conf and start from there.

      Oki Doki! The culprit is the output buffering. When executing the script via command line, the header does display exactly after 8192 bytes, which when run through Apache produces an error. Output buffering can be disabled in Perl, so I added the line "$|=1;" to my script and now it works.

      #!/usr/bin/perl
      use strict;
      $|=1;
      use HTML::Template::Pro;
      my $tmpl = HTML::Template::Pro -> new(filename => 'test.tmpl');
      print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
      $tmpl -> output();
