I'm fairly new at Perl and the use of the Template toolkit.
I'm not getting the results I would expect with INTERPOLATE => 1. I would
expect to be able to reference $variables in my template file. Below is my
program, template file and output.
With INTERPOLATE => 1 all I see is blanks where my values for $name and
$dummy should be. Not working !!!!
With INTERPOLATE => 0 the output simply prints Name = $name and dummy
= $dummy. This is what I would expect.
I'm sure I had this working. The only major thing I did since then was
install DateManip toolkit. Could this toolkit somehow have corrupted the
Template toolkit ?? I actually reinstalled the Template Toolkit to see if
this would help.
What am I doing wrong ? I am using the latest Template Toolkit v2.06
Thanks for the help, Tom
