Re: HTML::Template and hashes of hashes

Treat them as Lists of Hashes, even if it's only one hash in the list:

my $VAR1 = {
   'apptimeupdated' => '20040315145142',
   'apptype' => [{
      'apt_defstatus' => [{
         'name' => 'Pending',
      }],
      'value' => '50',
   }],
};

my $tmpl = HTML::Template->new(filehandle => \*DATA);
$tmpl->param($VAR1);

print $tmpl->output;

__DATA__
<tmpl_var apptimeupdated>
<tmpl_loop apptype>
   <tmpl_var value>
   <tmpl_loop apt_defstatus>
      <tmpl_var name>
   </tmpl_loop>
</tmpl_loop>

I hate to say it ... but i would use TT here instead, since it works better with your existing data structure:

my $VAR1 = {
    'apptimeupdated' => '20040315145142',
    'apptype' => {
        'apt_defstatus' => {
            'name' => 'Pending',
        },
        'value' => '50',
    },
};

my $tt = Template->new;
$tt->process(\*DATA, $VAR1) || die $tt->error();

__DATA__
[% apptimeupdated %]
[% apptype.value %]
[% apptype.apt_defstatus.name %]
[download]

OK ... so i don't hate to say it. TT rocks. ;)

Thanks jeffa you are right about TT. But this app is 5-6000 lines in and is all based on H::T. I have the TT Book and will be learning it before I start on another project. jdtoronto	[reply]
