(Tested with HTML::Template 2.8 and 2.9) The following looks like a bug to me:
Program: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ #!/usr/bin/perl -w use HTML::Template; my $template = <<EOF; <TMPL_LOOP NAME=diff> <TMPL_LOOP NAME=Drop>first</TMPL_LOOP> <TMPL_LOOP NAME=Mapping > <TMPL_LOOP NAME=Drop>second</TMPL_LOOP> </TMPL_LOOP> </TMPL_LOOP> EOF my $t = HTML::Template->new_scalar_ref(\$template, global_vars => 1); $t->param (diff => [{ # Drop => [{}], 'Mapping' => [{}], }],); print $t->output; ------------------------------------------------- Gives as result: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ HTML::Template->output() : fatal error in loop output : HTML::Template->output() : fatal error in loop output : HTML::Template::param() : attempt to set parameter 'drop' with a scalar - parameter is not a TMPL_VAR! at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/HTML/Template.pm line 2998 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/HTML/Template.pm line 2998 at ./test.pl line 19 ------------------------------------------------- So the first TMPL_LOOP NAME=Drop somehow destroys the the working of the second one. Removing either of these loops makes everything work. Also removing the outer diff level in the template text and the params makes it work. Also removing global_vars => 1 makes this work Uncommenting the # Drop => [{}], line in the code makes the output be: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ first second ------------------------------------------------- That is also wrong I think since the docs are quite clear that there isn't supposed to be a "global_loops" implied by global_vars. Only "first" should have printed. -- Your money back if not satisfied! (However, we suspect that we will be quite satisfied with your money) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
