  • You probably should use a high-quality templating CPAN module, such as Template or Text::Template
  • If you insist on homegrowing your tmeplate module, the chief means of isolating variables within Perl are packages or hashes.
    1. For hashes, here's a snippet: 
      {
   my %template_var;

   my ($key,$val) = split '=', $linefromtemplate;
   $template_var{$key} = $val;
}

    2. And for packages, here's another: 
      {
   package template_var;

   my ($key,$val) = split '=', $linefromtemplate;
no strict 'refs';
  $$key = $val;# left out symbolic dereference
use strict 'refs';
}

      I woulda caught my error if we could preview replies to other posts...Why dont we enable that?
