Re: Using Template toolkit

I'm guessing you are using a Win32 machine based on your error messages. You probably need to change the way you are referencing files to match what Win32 expects (eg reverse the slashes).

I thought that shouldn't matter, but I went ahead and reversed them. Now, it says `file error - \templates\userinfo.html: not found at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\userinfo.cgi line 33.` [download] It doesn't matter if I use an absolute or relative path. I still get the message.I have double checked that the files and folders are there and spelled correctly. Does TT have restrictions on where it will look for files? I even tried specifying the drive letter and I get this weird message `file error - no providers for template prefix 'C' at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\userinfo.cgi line 33.` [download] The TT at http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/plain/Tutorial/Tutorial.html doesn't mention any of this stuff. Is there another tutorial somewhere on using this on Win systems? :( By the way, thanks for helping.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I'm not sure as I haven't used TT2 on a Win32 system, however, I do know that TT2 has a good mailing list with archives available near that URL you have above; take a look through there and see if anyone has already addressed using TT2 on Win32. IIRC, TT2 is simplying using the standard perl `open` and friends to do it's job, so you'd have to stick to how file operations work on Win32. Dr. Michael K.
