in thread HTML::Template-2 on one

I'd like to a add a piece of example code to what Cody Pendant said:

my $table_tmpl = new HTML::Template filename => 'table.tmpl'; my $result = new HTML::Template filename => 'comparison_page.tmpl' +; my ($first, $second); $table_tmpl->param(data => get_table_data(key => 'first')); $first = $table_tmpl->output; $table_tmpl->param(data => get_table_data(key => 'second')); $second = $table_tmpl->output; $result->param(first => $first, second => $second); print $result->output;

That's a common pattern -- to generate several pieces of HTML using one template and different data and then insert these pieces into final output template.

    Your code suffers from the dreaded "Indirect Object Syntax" - something to avoid. In legacy code it can be excused, but not in example code.

      Whoa, you are the first to call this beauty a dreaded thing :) Indirect Object Syntax is one of my favourite features of Perl! Why on Earth is it "dreaded"?

        Did you try clicking on that link, and reading the content? Pay special attention to the bold words:

        The -> notation suffers from neither of these disturbing ambiguities, so we recommend you use it exclusively.
