Hello Monks,
I'm having some trouble with HTML::Template. After following the tutorial here, I have the following code:
HTML:
<TABLE BORDER="1">
<TR><TD>Transaction</TD><TD>DATE</TD><TD>Type</TD><TD>Amount</TD>
+<TD>Ending Balance</TD></TR>
<TMPL_LOOP NAME="TRANSACTIONS">
<TR><TD>Transaction:</TD>
<TD><TMPL_VAR NAME="Date"></TD>
<TD><TMPL_VAR NAME="Type"></TD>
<TD><TMPL_VAR NAME="Amount"></TD>
<TD><TMPL_VAR NAME="Ending_Balance"></TD></TR>
</TMPL_LOOP>
</TABLE>
and my Perl code:
my $template = HTML::Template->new( filename => 'atm_choose.tmpl', die
+_on_bad_params => 0 );
my @LINES;
while (<DATA>)
{
chomp;
push @LINES, $_;
}
my $split;
for (@LINES)
{ my @row = split ('&', $_);
push @{$split}, $_;
}
$template->param(TRANSACTIONS => $split);
print header, $template->output;
__DATA__
10/02/2013 & closing balance & 0 & 1000
11/02/2013 & debit & 100 & 900
12/02/2013 & credit & 1000 & 1900
I'm currently getting the table correctly formatted, but it is entirely empty. I *THINK* I'm giving HTML::Template the correct variable.
thank you,
edit
I was able to get the table as expected, but this doesn't seem like good practice (even useful as it doesn't allow for more information to be used...). However, I am unable to get this to work using a foreach / for loop. any pointers please?
while (<DATA>)
{
chomp;
push @LINES, $_;
}
my @split;
for (@LINES)
{ my @row = split ('&', $_);
push @split, \@row;
}
$template->param(TRANSACTIONS => [{Date => $split[0][0], Type => $spli
+t[0][1], Amount => $split[0][2], Ending_Balance => $split[0][3]},
{Date => $split[1][0], Type => $split[1][1], Amount
+=> $split[1][2], Ending_Balance => $split[1][3]},
{Date => $split[2][0], Type => $split[2][1], Amount
+=> $split[2][2], Ending_Balance => $split[2][3]} ]);
Thank you! </p<

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
