Thanks Sébastien, Damien and Michael. I'm really trying to split the current template object into 2 different objects after I've assigned a bunch of things to it (one ends up being for display and the other gets emailed), so I guess I should check out that storable module as if I just invoked the "new" method again I would have to reassign everything again to the new object, right? Thanks! -Chris

An object in perl is a blessed reference and so you have just made a copy of a reference. So $template2 and $template point to the same object. If you wish to make a true copy of the object, you will need to look at things like Data::Dumper or better still the Storage module which has freeze and thaw subroutines. Hopefully this will achieve what you want. All the best. Regards, Damien.

What am I missing? Is it because I'm creating a reference? (I didn't think that was the case). Here is an example of what I mean my $template_object = qq|<TMPL_IF NAME="Var1"> Var 1 is set</TMPL_IF><TMPL_IF NAME="Var2"> Var 2 is set</TMPL_IF>|; my $template = HTML::Template->new(scalarref => \$template_object); $template->param(Var1 => 1); my $template2 = $template; $template2->param(Var2 => 1); print $template->output(); The output I get is: "Var 1 is set Var 2 is set" even though I set "Var2" only in $template2 only TIA! -Chris ________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
