[Templates] Hashes: issue with UTF-8 keys

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/10/20]

Hi,
I've found an issue with hashes when a key is a UTF-8 string.
I have some simple test code:

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use Template;
my $tt = Template->new({  INCLUDE_PATH => '.', }) || die
"$Template::ERROR\n";
my %hash = ( 'good' => 1234, "bad \x{20AC}" => 4321, );
my $vars = {
    hash  => \%hash,
};
$tt->process('template.tt', $vars) || die $tt->error(), "\n";


template.txt:
    Start [% component.name %]
    Iterate through the hash:

    [% FOREACH key = hash.keys %]
        Key: [% key %] Exists: [% hash.exists(key) %] Value: [% hash.$key %]
Item: [% hash.item(key) %]
    [% END %]

    End   [% component.name %]


With both TT 2.13 and 2.14 the output is:

    Start template.tt
    Iterate through the hash:

        Key: good Exists: 1 Value: 1234 Item: 1234

        Key: bad ⬠Exists: 1 Value:  Item: 4321

    End   template.tt

Note that [% hash.$key %] fails for the UTF-8 key, but [% hash.item(key) %]
works (and is a workaround).

This is with Perl 5.8.4. Maybe someone can confirm it isn't a Perl problem
with a more recent version?

cheers
Dave
