Re^2: Use of HTML::Template

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' 

                             );
[download]

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. Perl's payment curve coincides with its learning curve.	[reply] [d/l]

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", );` [download] would that work?

Unfortunately no. According to my reading of the documentation you must use `param ()` to set parameters: `my $template = HTML::Template->new( scalarref => $html_content); $template->param (%_array_of_fields);` [download] Perl's payment curve coincides with its learning curve.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
