in reply to Use of HTML::Template

The second example in the HTML::Template documentation given for the new method is:

  my $t = HTML::Template->new( scalarref => $ref_to_template_text, 
                               option => 'value' 
                             );

which seems to cover your use case.

    Thank you...

    One more quick question, what is this: (I'll put a comment in front of the code I have a question about...
    my $t = HTML::Template->new( scalarref => $ref_to_template_text, 

#                               option => 'value' 

                             );

    I don't understand the option and what it is for.

    Thanks

      A place holder for any of the optional parameters to the new method. Sorta like saying ...->new (foo => 'bar', boo => 'baz', ...). The 'scalerref' option is the interesting one and you can remove the commented line without any nasty surprises.

        Thanks again.

        So if I want to use that for merging all the variables of a page, could I do it like this:
        my $template = HTML::Template->new( scalarref => $html_content, 
            %_array_of_fields
);                             );

        [download]

        Where 
        %_array_of_fields = (
'option' => "$option",
'option2' => "$option2",
'option3' => "$someOtherOptionVariable",
);

        would that work?

        Thank you
