Looking at Template::Parser::parse() it says it returns a hash that can be used by Template::Document. The docs for Template::Document seem to say you can process by using the TT context. So maybe something like this?: ---------------------------------------------------- use Template::Document; my $doc = Template::Document->new($parser_result); $doc->process($tt->context); # $parser_result is return from $parser->parse() above. # $tt is your later instantiation of Template ---------------------------------------------------- I have never used this so who knows whether it will work or not. Just a guess from reading a little code and docs. -- Josh _______________________________________________ templates mailing list templates@template-toolkit.org http://mail.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
