Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is it permitted to use a <TMPL_VAR NAME=XX> tag more than once in an HTML doc? I could assign the same value to two different tags but that feels a bit clunky!

    Yes, try it

    #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use HTML::Template;
my $template = HTML::Template->new(filehandle => \*DATA);
$template->param( XX =>'variable XX' );
print $template->output;

__DATA__
XX: <TMPL_VAR NAME=XX>
XX: <TMPL_VAR NAME=XX>
XX: <TMPL_VAR NAME=XX>

      Thank you for your response. I have now realised that it was my clunky typing in the template rather than clunky use of the module that was causing problems! :)
