Sorry, the code does work, there was a simple error in my template (drrr)
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use HTML::Template::Set; my $tmpl = '<!-- tmpl_set name="foo" value="bar" --><h1><!-- tmpl_var foo --></h1>'; my $template = HTML::Template::Set->new( scalarref => \$tmpl,); print $template->output; There's still some problems with this approach. One being that any other filters you attempt to use, don't work. I think. I'm still trying to 'rastle it into my code. It makes almost more sense to just use this simple idea *as* a filter, instead of using it as a separate module. Would make it work easier with H::T::Expr as well. The problem is the filter saves the name/values you need to add to param() sometime, later. I can't quite figure a nice way to do this, without global vars. I have this very weird feeling I'm having a conversation that's been repeated a few... hundred times, already. On wards!
