I've started learning CGI::Application with the new job I started, and I've gotten to a point where I'm stuck.

I know that the default templating module is HTML::Template. Even though I prefer Template::Toolkit for this sort of thing, using HTML::Template is a requirement I can't change. ( The company says it's "too complex,", "too powerful," and "too confusing for an end user when we want them to make changed to their HTML." ) I saw "BAH", but that's not the point.

Without hacking the source of CGI::Application, how do I pass HTML::Template options (specifically loop_context_vars) into an instance of CGI::Application so that it gets passed onto HTML::Template?

Normally I would just trial-and-error the code until it worked, but I'm replacing someone who went abroad to work and I've been dropped into the situation and need to get things done *superfast* because the owner of the company is trying to minimise the rampup time as much as possible. (A source of minor frustration because nothing is documented at this place.)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
