Monday Monks,

Why isn't my hash passed to TT for processing? When I run this, I get one iteration of the template html and with no values inserted.

In the script (snippet):

use DBI; use Template; #get users list from database $sql = "SELECT user_id, ufname, ulname FROM users"; $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql) or die("Could not prepare!" . $dbh->errstr) +; $sth->execute() or die("Could not execute!" . $dbh->errstr); # build data structure while (($user_id, $ufname, $ulname) = $sth->fetchrow_array()) { $data{$user_id} = { ufname => $ufname, ulname => $ulname } } $sth->finish; #prep variables for TT $vars = { data => %data, today => $today }; $template_file = "./template/my_file.htm"; #process file $template->process($template_file, $vars);

and in the template
Call list for [% today %] <p> [% FOREACH user IN data %] Be sure to call [% user.ulname %], [% user.ufname %] [% END %]

I suspect there's something wrong with the way I'm passing the data hash?

Thanks.

updated for typo in code unrelated to question

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
