TT to process a string

Cagao has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all,

How can I use Template Toolkit to simply process a string, containing placeholders for variables.

I'm trying this at the mo...

    $template->process(\$poo,
                       { network => $obj,
                       },
               \$poo) or warn $template->error;
[download]

and have tried variation on the above with references, etc.

The string contains things like 'welcome to [% network.name %]'.

Thanks

`#!/perl/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Template; my $template = Template->new(); my $str = "some [% foo.bar %] stuff\n"; $template->process(\$str, { foo => { bar => 'cool' }, }) or warn $template->error; __END__ some cool stuff` [download] Maybe you shouldn't use the same string for both input and output (that appends the result to the template, at least in my tests).

Okay, thanks. that prints the result, but how do I get it back into a variable?	[reply]
