There's nothing wrong with the templates you provided. Let me demonstrate
by converting it to a fully functional program:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!perl -w
use Template;
my $t = Template->new();
$t->process(\*DATA) || die $t->error(), "\n";
__DATA__
[% BLOCK B %]
[% FOREACH i IN item %]
[% i.name %]
[% END %]
[% END %]
<html>
[% bar = [ {items => [ {name=>'Emmanuel'},{name=>'Harald'} ] } ,
{items => [ {name=>'Quevillon'},{name=>'Joerg'} ] } ,
]
%]
...
[% FOREACH foo IN bar %]
..
[% PROCESS B item = foo.items %]
...
[% END %]
</html>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you get no output at all, then you should inspect the error from
the process() call to TT, like in my example code. With complicated
data structures like that it is too easy to miss some bracket...
