Jamie,
This is something you'd have a hard time doing even in Perl.
Consider:
my $hash = {};
$hash->{ A } = 'AA';
$hash->{ X }{ Y } = 'XY';
foreach my $col ( ( 'A', 'X }{ Y' ) ) {
print " <td>\n";
print " $hash->{ $col }\n";
print " </td>\n";
}
It seems like you'll either need a different separator (which
breaks the multi-level hash):
[% h.A = 'AA' %]
[% h.${ 'X.Y' } = 'XY' %]
[% FOREACH col = ['A' 'X.Y'] %]
<td>
[% h.$col %]
</td>
[% END %]
or something that understands that the dot in the col value is
actually syntax (namely, eval)--something like:
[% FOREACH col = ['A' 'X.Y'] %]
<td>
[% "[% h.$col %" | replace( '$', ']' ) | eval %]
</td>
[% END %]
There may be other, more clever solutions, but these are the ones
that came to mind for me.
Just out of curiosity, why do you need to show portions of a
multi-level hash in a flattened representation?
Hope that helps,
