Hey, everybody calm down. HTML::Template is not going to have its
feelings hurt by being called stupid. It knows it's the best designed and
fastest templating engine on the planet. Actually, if a few insults would
make it stop parading around my apartment wearing that pathetic "King Of
Templating" crown it made out of tin-foil, that would be an improvement.
But seriously, is HTML::Template "stupid"? Probably. Most software is
stupid and making it smart isn't easy. I've actually been meaning to go
into param() and make some tweaks to produce better error messages in the
most common user-error cases. It could point out that "undef" had been
passed in for a <TMPL_LOOP>, for example. Or it could automatically
detect this common error:
my %row;
my @loop;
while (...) {
push(@loop, \%row);
}
$template->param(LOOP => \@loop);
by checking to make sure all the rows in a loop aren't pointing to the
same hash.
