Re: HTML::Template in a module's __DATA_

I think <DATA> always reads from the __DATA__/__END__ in the startup file. (You could test this yourself by copying the template into the .pl file.) You could do the following instead of using <DATA>:

my @html = <<'__EOD__' =~ m#(.*?$/)#g;
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<TMPL_VAR NAME=VALUE>
</body>
</html>
__EOD__

Actually, the __DATA__ section seems to be read in just fine, hence the syntax error on the template tag. I have tried to test this by printing and examining the contents before sending to the HTML::Template constructor, and it looks perfectly normal. I have solved the immediate issue by just creating a method that returns the template as a scalar, but I am still very curious as to why this did not work as I had expected. (I also tried using <Foo::DATA> to ensure that the correct package was being read.) Thanks for the reply, and any other suggestions are welcome.	[reply]
