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

The actual error I'm getting is this: Can't locate object method "splitdir" via package "File::Spec" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/HTML/Template.pm line 2171.

My first template looks like this:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
 <h2><TMPL_VAR NAME=FOO> Look for something before <b>Look</b></h2>
 <TMPL_INCLUDE NAME='test2.tmpl'>
</body>
</html>

[download]

My included template:

<h2>This is the second template</h2>

[download]

And my code looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use HTML::Template;

$template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'test.tmpl',
                                path => '/path/to/template');
$template->param(FOO => 'foobar');

print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n", $template->output;

I'm using perl 5.005_03 and the latest version of HTML::Template. Thanks all for the help.

Re: Problem using TMPL_INCLUDE in HTML::Template

    The problem isn't in your code or in HTML::Template's code (other than it should've demanded that File::Spec exist with a better minimum version number). Upgrade your File::Spec and you should be fine. A good minimum version number should be 0.80. The source for 0.7 doesn't seem to have splitdir().
