Execute perl in template file

nomad.dexter has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello I'm working on a theme that has template files But whenever I try to use perl block in that I get error that EVAL_PERL is not set. I want to where I can set that option So far I have found that we can add this in config but I have no idea where the template file is being processed If I can set the option in tmpl file Please let me know. Regards

Hi, it's an option you must pass to your constructor. `my $tt2 = Template->new({ EVAL_PERL => 1 });` [download] Hope this helps! The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply] [d/l]

I would imagine that most shared hosting providers disable it intentionally since they cannot control the Perl code users would insert. You may have to upgrade to a dedicated server and learn how to run your own web server. The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply]

I'm not familiar with WHM, but that change needs to be made within the Perl code which runs the site, not the templates. It can't be enabled from the templates unless they're able to run Perl code, and the templates can't run Perl code unless it's already enabled.	[reply]
