Template Toolkit Embedded Perl

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

Hi, I have a little block which looks something like this in my template:

[%a = 1%]
[%b = ''%]

[%PERL%]
my $test = "[%a%]";
$test += 1;
[%END%]
[download]

My question is how do I assign the value of $test to template variable "%b%" ?

From the documentation: `[%a = 1%] [%b = ''%] [%PERL%] my $test = "[%a%]"; $test += 1; $stash->set('b', $test); [%END%]` [download] *update:* added code.	[reply] [d/l]

I assume that your real template is more complicated than that but if it isn't you could also do something simple like this: `[% a = 1 %] [% b = a + 1 # or "$a" + 1 %]` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
