in thread CGI::Ajax + Template::Toolkit Question

Rather than passing the configuration variables in $config to process, as chargrill noted, you can specify these when creating the $tt object: 
my $config = {
      INCLUDE_PATH => '/tt', 
      INTERPOLATE  => 1, 
      POST_CHOMP   => 1, 
      PRE_PROCESS  => 'header',
      EVAL_PERL    => 1,
};
my $tt = Template->new($config);

and then specify the variables you want processed in your template in process: 
sub main_page {
  
  my $output = '';
  my $template = 'main.tt';
  my $vars = { title =>'AJAX Login'};
  $tt->process($template, $vars, \$output)
       || die $tt->error();
  return $output;
}

    UPDATE:Would still like to know if this would be a usable solution, however problem has been solved.

    Ahhh whoops, don't know how I missed that.

    I was turning this over in my head, the show_javascript function returns the javascript as text...would it be better to have a template variable in the <HEAD> section of my template and insert it via T::T? Perhaps that would rid me of the error being thrown by CGI::Ajax.

    Thoughts?

    meh.

      Yes, you can do that - see the pjx_nobuild.pl example in the CGI::Ajax sources for how to do that (note that the line $html .= $pjx; in the example calls show_javascript, due to the overloading done in CGI::Ajax).
