in reply to Value Pair Assignment

Hi Ryan,

Just call me stupid, but I don't see what the problem is :-).
HTML::Template::param is a subroutine which takes two arguments, a key and a value. Of course you can loop over a hash and change the keys or values as arguments of the param sub.

This has nothing to do with HTML::Template as such, but it works for every sub or command (like print, etc...).

Perhaps post some actual code so I can understand your problem.

    param does not take two arguments. It takes a list of key/value pairs. Read the documentation next time. 

    $tmp->param( foo => 'bar', baz => 'quux' );

# or

$tmp->param(%pairs);

    I didn't realise HTML::Template::param took two arguments

    firstly) because I was not aware of the functionality of '=>' and that it was actually passing two parameters and not one. secondly) because every example I have ever seen that taught me to use it was of the form 'variable => value'.
