I am a novice using the template toolkit for the first time. To understand
how the toolkit works I installed it and tried the example provided at
Perl.com site by O'Reilly.
The code looks straightforward and easy to understand. However when I run
the code the output is not as illustrated in the example.
The code in the (.pl) file:
#!usr/local/bin/perl
use Template;
my $tt= Template->new;
$tt->process('my_template', \%data) || die $tt->error;
my @teams = ({ name => 'Man Utd',
played => 16,
won => 12,
drawn => 3,
lost => 1
},
{ name => 'Liverpool',
played => 15,
won => 11,
drawn => 2,
lost => 1
}
);
my %data = ( name => 'English Premier League',
season => '2000/01',
teams => \@teams );
-------------------- End of code in pl file ---------------
The template I am using (which is called "my_template") in the code above:
is:
League Standings
League Name: [% name %]
Season : [% season %]
Teams:
[% FOREACH team = teams -%]
[% team.name %] [% team.played -%]
[% team.won %] [% team.drawn %] [% team.lost %]
[% END -%]
The end result is:
C:\perl_code>perl league.pl
League Standings
League Name:
Season :
Teams:
Basically the headers in the template are output to the screen but the data
is not.
I am sorry if this is a trivial problem for most of you but I am a beginner
to Perl and would appreciate a little help here.
