[Templates] passing a hash back inside a form

[Martin Bower]

Hi,

I'm passing an array of hashes into a template, and it displays fine.  I'd like to pass the hash back to the script again, but am having problems.

Below the data is passed and displayed ok, but when I submit the form, the [% element %] is passed pack to my script as a scalar , with an example value of "HASH(0x10a88f4)"

Am I able to pass back the hash ion the simplistic way ?

The reason for this, is that there are approx 50 fields inside the hash, and I'd like the user to be able to edit 2 of them , before submitting this data to a database.


Regards

Martin


script
my %r = (   elem1 => 'one,
                  elem2 => 'two',
                  ...
              );
push(@elem_data,\%r);


Template
<form ...>
[% FOREACH element IN elem_data %]
  <tr><td>[% element.elem1 %]</td>
        <td>[% element.elem2 %]</td>
        <td><input name="elem_data" value="[% element %]"></td>
</tr>
[% END %]
</form>
