[htmltmpl] problems with scalarref

[Jeff C. <oka...@po...>]

Hi.



I'm having problems with scalarref.



I get the following error:



### HTML::Template Debug ### In _parse:

HTML::Template->new() : Syntax error in <TMPL_*> tag at /fake/path/for/non/file/template : 1. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/HTML/Template.pm line 2243.



Here's my template:

<TMPL_LOOP NAME=EMPLOYEE_INFO>

Name: <TMPL_VAR NAME=NAME> <br>

Job: <TMPL_VAR NAME=JOB> <p>

</TMPL_LOOP>



Here's my code:



#!/usr/bin/perl



use strict;

use warnings;



use HTML::Template;



my $tmpl;

$tmpl = &get_template($tmpl);

$tmpl = &populate_template($tmpl);



sub get_template {



my $file = "/tmp/page1.tmpl";

open (TMPL, $file)

or die "Failed to open template '$file': $!";



# Slurp file into scalar

my $html = join ('', <TMPL>);



close (TMPL)

or warn "Failed to close template '$file': $!";



return $html;



}



sub populate_template {



my $html = shift;



my $template = HTML::Template->new(

scalarref => \$html,

option => 'value',

debug => 1

);



return $template->output;



}

# end code



The template works fine if I use

filename => "/tmp/page1.tmpl"

instead of scalarref :/



Any ideas?



THANKS

I'm not. Running Perl 5.6.1, H::T 2.5, and your code (modified only to
change the filename), I get:

### HTML::Template Debug ### In _parse:
### HTML::Template Debug ### /fake/path/for/non/file/template : line 2 :
LOOP employee_info start
### HTML::Template Debug ### /fake/path/for/non/file/template : line 4 :
parsed VAR name
### HTML::Template Debug ### /fake/path/for/non/file/template : line 6 :
parsed VAR job
### HTML::Template Debug ### /fake/path/for/non/file/template : line 8 :
LOOP end
### HTML::Template Debug ### In output

which is as it should be.

Any chance you're running Perl 5.8.0 on Redhat 8 or Redhat 9?  If so,
you might have a broken Perl install.

What do you see in your error log if you insert this here:

  print STDERR "-----TEMPLATE START----\n\n$tmpl\n\n---TEMPLATE END----\n";

I'm interested to see if $tmpl contains what you think it does.
