[Templates] map-like vmethod?

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/09/14]

I have data like,

  [ { name => "foo", type => "bar" },
    { name => "baz", type => "bar" },
    { name => "arf", type => "bat" },
    # ...
  ]

Is there a way/vmethod to pull out all the names in Template `a la,
  join " ", map $_->{name}, @data?

I usually do something like,
  [% FOREACH i = data; i.name; " "; END %] (which has a trailing space
UNLESS loop.last)

I find myself doing this quite a bit [just me?] and it rarely gets more
complex than this; i.e. no need for some generic map function. More of a
vertical hash slice.
