[John Smith]

Thanks for the suggestions, but both of them error out with: file error - ablock: not found

Hi John,

I probably shouldn't post on this as I haven't tried what you mentioned. However, have you tried adding an "| eval" to the blockdata variable retrieve? My guess is that you are just getting the non-processed block you specified in the perl code above. (Let us know what you mean by "doesn't work" if it's not it.) :)

testblock.tt:
[% MACRO ablock BLOCK %]
[% blockdata | eval %]
[% END %]
[% INCLUDE ablock %]


As an alternative you might try the following, which I have also not tested, and am not sure will even work, but am just providing as something you can try. I've never tried two procesess, in a row, and am not sure whether they will have the same context or not, but if it worked, it'd be a simpler solution.

=================================================
perl code:
use strict;
use Template;
my $block = <[% BLOCK ablock %]
----------------------------------------------
Hello, [% name %]
----------------------------------------------
[% END %]
BLOCK
my $tt = Template->new() or die;
my $ttData =
{
blockdata => $block,
name => 'John'
};
my $result;
$tt->process(\$block, $ttData, \$result) or die;
$tt->process("testblock.tt", $ttData) or die;

testblock.tt:
[% INCLUDE ablock %]
=================================================
