RE: [Templates] Why can't I create a list of named hashes?

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/11/18]

I believe the "$" preceding "mod_menu" is only needed during string =
interpolation.  Try this instead (note I also added semicolons to =
terminate each template directive as not doing so would have caused an =
additional error):

## start code

use strict;
use warnings;

use Template;

my $template =3D new Template;

$template->process (\*DATA) or die $template->error;
exit;

__DATA__
[%=20
      SET mod_menu =3D
       {
          title=3D> "Title",
          html=3D> "Html text"
       };
=20
       SET right_modules =3D [
          mod_menu
       ];

%]

[% FOREACH module =3D right_modules %]
      [% module.title %]
      [% module.html %]
[% END %] =20

## end code

Subject: [Templates] Why can't I create a list of named hashes?


Can someone help me figure out how to create a named hash, then include
it in a named list within a template? I can't understand why the
following does not work:

[%=20
       mod_menu =3D
       {
          title=3D> "Title",
          html=3D> "Html text"
       }
=20
       right_modules =3D [
          $mod_menu
       ]

%]

[% FOREACH module =3D right_modules %]
      [% module.title %]
      [% module.html %]
[% END %] =20


It produces an error:
! undef error - Template::Stash::XS: get (arg 2) must be a scalar or
listref


I also tried using \$mod_menu. In that case, I don't get an error but
nothing is printed.
