rattusillegitimus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I've been playing around with nested <TMPL_LOOP> structures in HTML::Template and I've run into some trouble. I have a hash with over 40 keys, and I want to turn it into a set of HTML tables like this:
key | key1 | key2 | key3 | key4 | key5 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
value | val1 | val2 | val3 | val4 | val5 |
key | key6 | key7 | key8 | key9 | key10 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
value | val6 | val7 | val8 | val9 | val10 |
Each table should be no more than 6 cells wide, including the <th>'s. I've got the HTML template defined as follows:
<TMPL_LOOP NAME=TABLE> <table> <tr> <th>key</th> <TMPL_LOOP NAME=KEYCELL> <td><TMPL_VAR NAME=KEY></td> </TMPL_LOOP> </tr> <tr> <th>key</th> <TMPL_LOOP NAME=VALCELL> <td><TMPL_VAR NAME=VAL></td> </TMPL_LOOP> </tr> </table> </TMPL_LOOP>
My problem is that I can't for the life of me wrap my head around how to build the array to pass in the $template->param(TABLE => [ @array ]) line of my script. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
