no output from template toolkit

BrianC has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all, I'm trying to convert some templates from HTML::Template to TT, but I'm having trouble getting out of the gate. I can't seem to get TT to produce any output, and error logs don't seem to show any problem. This is the test code I'm using:

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

use strict;
use Template;
use CGI;

my $q = CGI->new;
print $q->header("text/html");

my $template = Template->new({INCLUDE_PATH => '/home/xxxx/yyy/zzzz'});
my $vars = {
            message => 'Hello',
            };
$template->process('test.html', $vars);
[download]

and test.html

<html>
<head>
<title>TestPage</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Test Message</h1>
<p>[% message %]</p>
<p>That's it</p>
</body>
</html>
[download]

And, as I've said, get no output except the content type header. Thanks for any help, Brian

When in doubt, check for exceptions... `#!/usr/bin/perl -wT use strict; use Template; use CGI; my $q = CGI->new; print $q->header("text/html"); my $template = Template->new( { INCLUDE_PATH => '/home/xxxx/yyy/zzzz' +} ) \|\| die Template->error(), "\n"; my $vars = { message => 'Hello', }; $template->process( 'test.html', $vars ) \|\| die $template->error();` [download] returns `Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 file error - test.html: not found` [download] Maybe you shoud just need to set your "INCLUDE_PATH" to the correct location of your test.html file? -biz-	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you very much! OK, shame on me for not doing that error checking. I am beating my head with a stone tablet as we speak Brian	[reply]
