At the end of this note is code that produces this output:
0:[
[] trees
[rotten] logs
]
1:[
[maple] trees
[rotten] logs
]
2:[[maple] trees]
Note that "maple" appears in 1: but not in 0:, even though
the template object in both cases has these values set:
$tmpl->param( trees => [{ type => 'maple' }] );
$tmpl->param( forest => [{ logs => 'rotten' }] );
This is in fact documented:
NOTE: global_vars is not global_loops (which does not exist). That
means that loops you declare at one scope are not available inside
other loops even when global_vars is on.
So my complaint is that my perl code is setting the
same values in the $tmpl object, but the module
does not "honor" the value unless it sees the loop
in the template a certain way. My explanation is
confusing, I know -- the whole situation is confusing
(to me). And that's what made me have to say
enough finally after running into this multiple times.
You could say I want global everything, but what I
really want is for my template object to actually
contain the values that I set in it, so I can pass it
with "associate" to a child object. I see someone
else is suggesting parent/child relationships be
supported, which is what I essentially was after.

It lets you output something on every
nth iteration, e.g. (from the docs),
The LOOP, WHILE and EACH tags allow you to define a BREAK attribute:
<tmpl_loop bingo break="3"> <tmpl_var _ ><if __break__>\n</if></tmpl_loop>
$htc->param(bingo => [qw(X 0 _ _ X 0 _ _ X)]);
outputs
X 0 _
_ X 0
_ _ X
(Code for above maple trees/rotten logs example:)
