Hey ho, I am using HTML::Template::Expr to generate KML files :) I want to create folders on Google Earth using a "group by" SQL call to put things in different Google earth folders based on the distinct group by values. The group by field is user selectable, hence the need for a "variable" param field in the template. I need a template that looks something like this 
<TMPL_LOOP NAME = ALL_FRUIT_LOOPS>
   <TMPL_LOOP NAME = USER_FRUIT_LOOPS>
      <TMPL_IF EXPR="(<TMPL_VAR NAME=USER_FRUIT_FIELD> eq <TMPL_VAR NA
+ME=ALL_FRUIT_FIELD>)" >
          blah blah blah
      </TMPL_IF>    
   </TMPL_LOOP>
</TMPL_LOOP>

So with 100 kinds of fruit and 3 kinds of user fruits GE would end up with 3 folders each named apple, orange and banana. I am wondering if expressions are evaluated prior to the substitution but want to make sure before I move to another module ( Text::Template ) thanks
