[htmltmpl] Data -> template (brain -> Perl)

[Robert]

I am using XML::Simple to get some "simple" XML data.

$template->param( DATA => sub {
for my $list ( @{ $data->{list} } ) {
print "<p>$list->{name}[0]</p><p>$list->{description}[0]</p>";
}
}
);

That prints the data to the template at the top...it doesn't go into the
DATA var. Do I need to do the for loop outside of the $template-param?

Bob,

You need to 'return' the data rather than 'print'ing it.

Don't print() the data, instead build up a string and return() it.
