However, if you just make a sub that does what you want with the list ref, you can pass a reference to it to TT in the stash and run it: [ % my_rand_func(tips) %] - Perrin Hear, Hear for picking it in code rather than the template. :) But, the needy might also look at the ListUtil Plugin. It has a random list item function.    http://search.cpan.org/~markf/Template-Plugin-ListUtil-0.02/lib/Template/Plugin/ListUtil.pm Or make your own Stash OP for it:  use Template::Stash;  $Template::Stash::LIST_OPS->{ random } = sub { return $_[0][rand @{$_[0]}] ;}; --mark mills
