Hi Simran...
Bear in mind that doing this essentially defeats the main purpose of
templates in general, and HTML::Template in particular, which is, namely, to
separate logic from presentation. I've had situations where I've needed and
elsif here and there, but it's best left in the code.
When I want to handle displaying error messages, I have a generic
template that displays status messages (not errors), so what you can do is
this:
Status: <TMPL_VAR NAME=STATUS>
Message: <TMPL_VAR NAME=MESSAGE>
And then you display an appropriate message. Based on if/elsif/else
structures in your script. The nice thing about this is, you still only edit
your code and your template stays the same, so you don't have to edit your
code and template concurrently, thereby sticking to the edicts of using
templates. Also, this method doesn't tie you down to using it for displaying
only errors, you can use that one template to show all your status messages,
be they errors or success messages.
Sam, I'd like to take this opportunity just to say thanks once more
for giving us all HTML::Template.
TMTOWTDI :) HTH :)
