# I then pass the @sorted to a template under the name homeworks and i
+n the template I use this to print out the hash.

[% FOREACH key IN homeworks %]
        <th valign="bottom" class="Homework"><span id="points">[% key 
+%]</span><br>[% homework.$key.0 %]<br>[% homework.$key.1 %]</th>
        [% END %]

This doesn't print out a thing in the template. It is as if the @sorted in empty.
