Re: [htmltmpl] TMPL_VAR inside a TMPL_VAR

[LDT]

Thanks for the explanation.  I tried it right away, and I now get the following error.  I had snipped out the parameters in my original post because they were irrelevant, but now it trips over them in my actual program.  I haven't changed any of my templates, so I believe this is in response to the scalarref stuff I'm trying to do.

nc_rpt_summary.pl: HTML::Template : Attempt to set nonexistent parameter 'title_bar' - this parameter name doesn't match any declarations in the template file : (die_on_bad_params => 1) at /local/www/htdocs/scripts/campus/nc_rpt_summary.pl line 594

And here's the complete code section I'm using (I went back to the HERE doc, but the q and qq don't work either):

my $cell_fmt = <<EOL
align="right" style="cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;"
                      title="Click to drill down"
                     
                      >
EOL
;

$tmpl_main = HTML::Template->new( scalarref => \$cell_fmt );
$tmpl_main->param(  title_bar  => "Rpt $rpt_no - $rpt_lbl",
                    hdr_asofdt => "$rpt_asofdt",
                    attr_fyr   => $attr_fyr,
                    passattrs  => [EMAIL PROTECTED],
                    passdata   => [EMAIL PROTECTED]);
print $tmpl_main->output();

I also tried changing the order of the parameters passing to the template, but that didn't make it work (I tried putting the "new" after "param").

BTW, your <TMPL_INCLUDE> suggestion will work, and I'll use that if I can't get this to work.  I wanted to try and avoid the TMPL_INCLUDE because I end up with a reference/link inside of a reference/link (and I'll have another reference/link in the future when I get the drill down set up) and I want to keep my code as maintainable (and readable) as possible.  Or, am I being too picky?

scalarref takes just that: a reference to a scalar. So you almost got it:

$tmpl_main = HTML::Template->new( scalarref => \$cell_fmt );
