Hi guys,

I'm using Template module for web programming. Everything works fine, except the keys and values keywords for hashes were not working as expected.

The variable I passed in is as below when dump print:

my $VARS = {
    'rows' => { 
        'category1' => [
            {'id' => 'AAA', 'delta' => '0.01%'},
            {'id' => 'BBB', 'delta' => '0.03%'} ],
        'category2' => [ 
            {'id' => 'CCC', 'delta' => '0.02%'},
            {'id' => 'DDD', 'delta' => '0.04%'} ],
     },
};

(The actual variable is much more complicated. I simplified it as above)

The code below works perfectly:

[% FOREACH item IN report.rows.category1 %]
   <tr>
     <td>[% item.id %]</td>
     <td>[% item.delta %] %</td>
   </tr>
[% END %]

But the code below does not produce any entries:

[% FOREACH item IN report.rows.values %]
   <tr>
     <td>[% item.id %]</td>
     <td>[% item.delta %] %</td>
   </tr>
[% END %]

Please note that the only difference between the above 2 code is "category1" vs "values"

The Template module version I'm using is 2.24. Not sure if it is because this is an older version that does not support keys & values keyword within % ... %

Anyone has any idea how I can fix it?

Thank you so much!!!
