[htmltmpl] Using HT to create HTML Email

[Chris F. <cf...@do...>]

Folks,

HTML::Template has preformed above and beyond all my expectations when =
it comes to serving user content from our site.

I currently have a bunch of reporting that happens on a daily basis =
which is mailed off to specific people in a HTML report.
I'd like to take advantage of some of the HT features (like loops) to =
create the emails instead of doing everything in perl and then simply =
replacing it.

Looking at the docs - would the below work?

my $email_message =3D HTML::Template->new( filehandle =3D> *FH,=20
                                                                       =
some_loop   =3D>   \@someloop,
                                                                       =
some_val        =3D>    $someval,
                                                                       =
some_if        =3D>    1,
                                                                        =
);
                                                                         =
                  =20
&send_email($email_message);

I know I should just try it and see what happens, but I also wanted to =
see if anyone had a better suggestion on creating HTML emails.

Thanks
