you just pass it a scalar ref
my ($stuff);
eg $tt->process('prices.tt2', $vars, \$stuff );
and lo .. it ends up in $stuff.

The process() method then returns 1 to indicate success. A third parameter may be passed to the process() method to specify a different output location. This value may be one of: a plain string indicating a filename which will be opened (relative to OUTPUT_PATH, if defined) and the output written to; a file GLOB opened ready for output; a reference to a scalar (e.g. a text string) to which output/error is appended; a reference to a subroutine which is called, passing the output as a parameter; or any object reference which implements a 'print' method (e.g. IO::Handle, Apache::Request, etc.) which will be called, passing the generated output as a parameter. If you note, the third paramater can be a ref to a scalar to which the output is appended. hth struan (sho missed this fisrt time round too :)
