Using the process method in the Template Toolkit, I often want to call a subroutine with arguments, as follows:
$some_var = 'Hello world!';
$my_templ->process( "$TEMPLATE_DIR/hello_world.html",
{ 'filler' => \&some_sub( $some_var ) } );
But when I do that, I get ARRAY(0x84ab2c30) or similar where the replacement happens in the output.
Typically, I've been getting around this by calling the subroutine beforehand:
$some_var = &some_sub( 'Hello world!' );
$my_templ->process( "$TEMPLATE_DIR/hello_world.html",
{ 'filler' => $some_var } );
but I'd like to avoid this if I can. What is the "proper" way to pass variables?

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).
