[htmltmpl] Usage question

[Matias A. G. <ma...@ni...>]

hello all!

I am new in the list, I have been using HTML::Template for 3 month! great
work!!

I would like to ask for your suggestion for the following problem:

We have a complex web application using HTML::Template. This application
uses MySQL and a lot of modules, and is not easy to install.
We need a HTML designer to work in the templates.

Is there any way to, once the $template is filled, to dump the variables to
a file?

the idea is to give the designer all the templates and the CSS's and a
simple application that
    1) reads the dumped file
    2) fill the templates
    3) output html
so, he will be able to work in the templates, and see how they will look,
without installing our application.

thank you very much!!

Sure.  The full parameter set is available via param():

    my %data = map { ($_, $template->param($_) } $template->param();

You can dump that hash to a file with Storable or Data::Dumper, just
like any other Perl file.

Alterantely, you can use Storable on the HTML::Template object itself.
This is guaranteed to work since this is how HTML::Template implements
file_cache mode.

Great! Thanks! That was what I was looking for!

with this solution the template itself will be stored (I mean, not only the
parameters), ok?

 Thanks!
