It should work. The only trick with the "param" function is that if it's called with no arguments, it should return all the params that it knows about. I've written quite a few modules that provide a param function and I then pass those to HTML::Template and they work perfectly.
The way I use H::T in mod_perl is to just do CGI code through Apache::Registry. In other words, I do the following: my $cgi = new CGI; print $cgi->header; print $template->output; If you have something that will generate the headers for you, then feel free to use that. Personally, I like the Apache::Registry way of doing things as it's very easy to run the same script in a non-mod-perl space. That, in turn, makes it easy to debug scripts written by people who don't understand the nuances of mon-perl. -----Original Message----- From: Emanuele [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 6:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [htmltmpl] H::T in mod_perl (probably FAQs) Just some dumb questions by a new HTML::Template-user-wannabe. 1. My goal is to use the 'associate' H::T option in a "pure" mod_perl application (i.e. no CGI code handled by Apache::Registry or Apache::PerlRun.) Does the following work? use Apache::Request; use HTML::Template; sub handler { my $r = Apache::Request->instance(shift); my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'template.tmpl', associate => $r); # some other code } Apache::Request has a param() method that behaves much like the one from CGI.pm query object, so it should work... But unfortunately the only 'associate' example showed in the H::T pod uses (only) CGI, hence my question. 2. A more general question(s): how do you use H::T in mod_perl? Just CGI code through Apache::Registry or you write your own pure mod_perl(tm) handlers? If so, do you know/use any (simple) mod_perl framework which could be considered the pure mod_perl counterpart of CGI::Application? The only one found so far by me is Apache::PageKit (which does a lot more than CGI::Application really). It seems good, but I'm always scared to find myself sooner or later trapped in a too restrictive environment when using such frameworks. What do you think about PageKit? Thanks a lot.
