Re: Template newbie question. Is it lack of understanding or lack of DWIM

Template Toolkit doesn't support ucfirst as a method, but it does have a ucfirst filter. I don't think it supports the ternary operator, either. You could write it like this:

[% IF section %][% section | ucfirst %] - [% END %]

It does support the ternary operator, when I run that with section undef it produces nothing. Well I suppose I should finish reading aforementioned documentation instead of stopping after GET and SET. The filter solution feels somewhat less elegant though.	[reply]

You can make it a little less visually dense by changing it to something like the following (works in TT2 and CET): `[% IF section ; section\|ucfirst ; ' - ' ; END %]` [download] my @a=qw(random brilliant braindead); print $a[rand(@a)];	[reply] [d/l]
