Re: [Templates] calling a method()

Meanwhile, in the template

However,

   [% me.mymethod %] yields 'hi'.

but I feel I should not need to qualify the method with the 'me' trick, I
never see it in examples. So how should I set things up to be able to
directly call the methods of the object that is passed as the value
parameter to process()?

AFAIK you can't do that, that's why you never see the examples. TT expects bare 'methods' to be called via a code reference, for instance:

Code:

$template->process( \$text, { mymethod => \&mymethod } );

Template:

Calling mymethod: [% mymethod() %]

The fact that your 'fortytwo' example worked is a coincidence -- if your object were implemented as a blessed arrayref it wouldn't have worked at all. I think typing a few extra characters (me.mymethod vs mymethod) shouldn't be too much of a burden ;-)
