[htmltmpl] Param( ) Method and Default= Attribute ... ?

[Cory T. <ct...@on...>]

Hello,

In a template, I have this ...



<!--
    <tmpl_var name="doc" default="this is the data for this run mode">
-->

In a perl script, I have this ...


#-----------

my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => "$mode",
                                   die_on_bad_params => 0,    #SYSTEM
                                   strict => 0, );

my $doc = $template->param( 'doc' );

#-----------



From my tests, it seems as if the call to "param( 'doc' );" does not return
the value of a TMPL_VAR's "default" attribute.


The tests have been run on 2.6 HTML::Template, ActiveState Perl 5.6.1,
HTML::Template built from source with Visual Studio.  I have included by
call to the HTML::Template constructor in case access to the default values
via param( ) is somehow controlled by new( ) arguments.


Thanks in advance.
