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

I am using Template Toolkit 2 and PostgreSQL -- but I seem to be having trouble getting boolean values from the database recognized by TT2's syntax. Has anyone else done this?

    Sorry, but my copy of ESP::Guess seems to have a few bugs in it. You'll need to give us some code.

    Are you using the DBI plugin or querying from Perl code and passing the values to TT?

        <table width="100%"><tr>
   [% FOREACH priv = [ "priv_upload", "priv_inspect", "priv_download",
+ "priv_admin" ] %]
    <td align="center">[% priv %] = "[%- line.priv -%]"
    </td>
   [% END %]
  </tr></table>

      I'm trying to use a loop to go through privileges for an account .. the variable 'priv' comes through fine but 'line.priv' comes up empty, perhaps because TT2 is looking for line.priv instead of line.priv_upload which is what I want. I'm not sure how I can get this interpolation to happen.

        [%- line.$priv - %]

        See the section on variable interpolation in the TT manual.
