I am working with the perl Template-Toolkit with DateTime objects. When I try to use the DateTime object: [% dt.year %] in the TT template the script dies:
undef error - Cannot compare a datetime to a regular scalar at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux/DateTime.pm line 1397 I have traced the problem to the _dotop subroutine in Stash.pm of Template Toolkit. The code in the subroutine tries to test for reference equality with the eq operator: $foo eq $baz DateTime object reference happens to be on the left side of the eq operator which is overloaded in DateTime in such a way that it dies when an object of uncomparable type is encountered. I've managed to hack the source to be like "$foo" eq "$baz" This performs a string comparison of references represnetation and is obviously inefficient. Are there any ways to test whether the two references point to the same thing? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
