Because no one has taken the time to make it any easier. I don't use CDBI (I'm an old-school SQL junky) so it won't be me. Maybe you'd like to do it? If it were my job I'd create a sub-class of HTML::Template called HTML::Template::ClassDBI. This sub-class would have an overridden param() method. When it sees that something in param() is a CDBI objects it extracts all the data that's being used in the template (using query()) and forwards the results up the line to SUPER::param(). -sam ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
