Thanks Richard and everyone, I added the ".item" so my view shows: [% entries.$id.item('time') %] I still don't see any results :(
I now see in my terminal the following: Argument "client" isn't numeric in numeric comparison (<=>) Which from what I can tell from Gabor's great site https://perlmaven.com/argument-isnt-numeric-in-numeric is some numeric operation problem. Do you have any examples of controllers passing Mongo data to views so I can compare? My code so far - perhaps the controller is the issue? sub connect_mongo { my $client = MongoDB->connect('mongodb://a.b.c.d') or die "Error connecting to Mongo"; my $db = $client->get_database( 'lfi-perl' ); return($db); } get '/mongo' => sub { my $db = connect_mongo(); my $docs = $db->get_collection( 'Test-Collection' ); my $all_docs; template 'show_mongo.tt', { 'entries' => $all_docs = $docs->find(), }; }; Appreciate your help, Gavin Best Regards, Gavin Colborne Managing Director, Tele: 0207 193 2014 Mobile: 0788 400 4339 Skype: gavincolborne Visit: www.littleforest.co.uk [image: Little Forest LFi] <http://www.littleforest.co.uk/> On 18 October 2017 at 10:13, Richard Jones <ra.jo...@dpw.clara.co.uk> wrote: > I've been caught by that before.
