in thread Use of HTML::Template

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",
);

    [download]
    would that work?

    Thank you

      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);
