first, not to sound like a teenager but HTML::Template is awesome. i have
taken a large ( to me ) 600 line cgi's and crunched it down significantly.
i have also taken what would have been a nightmare of integrating html in my
cgi and replaced with something much easier.
i still have a couple questions. first, i have only used staroffice to put
together web pages. when i load a template with template tags, star office
changes the template tags. is there an editor out there for linux that
won't do this.
second, i am still a little fuzzy on the associate option. i have a bunch
of hidden tags i want to print out. here is how i do it with cgi -
foreach my $param ($q->param()) {
print $q->hidden(-name=>"$param") if ($q->param ne 'page');
}
what would be the syntax, using the associate option, to send a hidden param
to my HTML::Template? is this correct ??? is there a better way??
my $q=new CGI;
my $template = new HTML::Template(filename=>'template.tmpl', associate=>$q);
foreach my $param ($q->param()) {
$q->param(hidden => "$param");
}
print $template->output();

Don't do this either. Stick to the associate option, but set the cgi
params explicitly. Don't make new ones.
my $q=new CGI;
my $template = new HTML::Template(filename=>'template.tmpl',
associate=>$q);
$q->param('fname' => 'value_of_fname', 'lname' => 'value_of_lname' ...);
