Hello, I'd like to be able to pass a new parameter from one template to another. For example, imagine I have script.cgi which displays an HTML::Template template.tmpl. Inside template.tmpl I <TMPL_INCLUDE> header.tmpl. I want to pass a parameter from template.tmpl to header.tmpl, a parameter not originally passed from script.cgi.
For an example of why this is useful, imagine that header.tmpl has a smart menu bar with buttons for each portion of the website, where the portion the user is currently viewing is highlighted. We don't want script.cgi to pass in what portion of the website is being viewed because if the designers are in charge of the menu structure so this could change. Does such functionality exist in HTML::Template? It doesn't look like it. I could imagine a command like <TMPL_PARAM NAME="foo" VALUE="bar"> or even just extending <TMPL_VAR> so if you provide a VALUE attribute the variable is set rather than read. Thanks in advance!
