RE: [htmltmpl] placing .tmpl files in a subdirectory?

[Kenny S. <ke...@jo...>]

Hi Will,

Yes, I put all of my templates in a subdirectory. You can set
$ENV{'HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT'} to the name of the subdirectory, and then just do

$template = HTML::Template->new( filename => 'filename.tmpl' ) ;

and H::T will look for $ENV{'HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT'}/filename.tmpl

Hope this helps,
