HTML::Template doesn't like doing any sort of logic beyond simple if statements and loops. You can do it with HTML::Template::Expr, or (preferably) you can calculate the totals in Perl and fill in the template with those values.

This is my first project using Perl and HTML::Template, and my first posting to this users list (after searching <http://www.bluedot.net/mail/archive/>http://www.bluedot.net/mail/archive/ for things like "totals" and "total row" and "subtotal").

I'm trying to figure out how to insert subtotals periodically and to calculate differences between two rows. For example, this is a mock up similar to what I'm doing (mine is more complex):

accounts              curr month    year-to-date
10-19                       $xxx            $xxx
20-29                       $xxx            $xxx
30-39                       $xxx            $xxx
sub1 10-39                $xxxxx          $xxxxx
40-49                       $xxx            $xxx
50-59                       $xxx            $xxx
sub2 40-59                 $xxxx           $xxxx
grand total               $xxxxx          $xxxxx
diff b/w sub1 & sub 2       $xxx            $xxx

Right now, I'm using several case statements in my Sybase SQL and several unions (which I know is pretty ugly)... but if I could get HTML::Template and Perl to play nicely together and let me generate occasional subtotals along the way (or differences as the case may be), that would be great. Does HTML::Template have a way to do this? I have the H:T documentation printed out (because I refer to it so often), and I'm wondering if a TMPL_IF might be the answer. But, I can't wrap my brain around how I could use it for subtotalling and differences.

Oh, and feel free to dumb it down for me since I'm new to Perl, SQL, [insert language here]. ;-)

Thanks!

P.S. I didn't include my Perl code because I wasn't sure if it would be necessary (and it's 600+ lines), but for the masochists among you, you can see it here along with the .tmpl file: <http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=108949&user=Lori713>http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=108949&user=Lori713.
