HTML::Template module in perl

andy

I have a html file name test.html as below.
==================================================================
<html>
<head>
<title>Song Listing</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My Songs</h1>

<tr>

<td valign="top">
<table width="150%" border="1" cellpadding="3"
cellspacing="1">
<tr height="20" style="font-size: 95%;"><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>

<tr height="20" style="font-size: 95%;"><td align="left"
valign="middle"><a href="<TMPL_VAR NAME=SOME_DATA>">NITIN</a></td></
tr>

<tr height="20" style="font-size: 95%;"><td align="left"
valign="middle"><a href="<TMPL_VAR NAME=TEST_THIS_1>">SITE</a></td></
tr>

</table>
</td>

<table>
</BODY>
</HTML>
======================================================================
I am opening this html file using the below perl script.
======================================================================
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI;
use CGI::Session;
use HTML::Template;
my $site = "http://www.google.co.in";
my $FILENAME="/usr/nitin/test_123.tmpl"
my $cgi = new CGI;
print $cgi->header();
my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => "/usr/nitin/
test.tmpl");
#tried with all the below three options: as in the link of SITE of the
html page i want to open a different template file named
test_123.tmpl.
#my $FILENAME= HTML::Template->new(type => 'filename', source => "/usr/
nitin/test_123.tmpl");
#my $FILENAME= HTML::Template->new( filename => 'test_123.tmpl', path
=> [ '/usr/nitin/test_123.tmpl']);
#my $FILENAME= HTML::Template->new_file('test_123.tmpl', filename => '/
usr/nitin/test_123.tmpl');

$template->param(SOME_DATA=> $site);
$template->param(TEST_THIS_1=> $FILENAME);
print $template->output;
1;
=====================================================================

I am not able to open the test_123.tmpl file by using opening this
using this method.

Tried with TMPL_INCLUDE also. But not able to open the same.

Can anybody help me with the solution.
============================================================
After this I want to first click on NITIN and then on SITE. And then i
want a new page or template file . i.e after clicking on NITIN and
then SITE I want to open a new template file. Will it be done by
TMPL_IF tag under HTML::template module or is there any other way to
do that.


Kindly help me with the logic.

So the file is called "test.html"

You're then trying to open it as "test.tmpl".
#tried with all the below three options: as in the link of SITE of the
html page i want to open a different template file named
test_123.tmpl.
#my $FILENAME= HTML::Template->new(type => 'filename', source => "/usr/
nitin/test_123.tmpl");
#my $FILENAME= HTML::Template->new( filename => 'test_123.tmpl', path
=> [ '/usr/nitin/test_123.tmpl']);
#my $FILENAME= HTML::Template->new_file('test_123.tmpl', filename => '/
usr/nitin/test_123.tmpl');

$template->param(SOME_DATA=> $site);
$template->param(TEST_THIS_1=> $FILENAME);
print $template->output;
1;

It's important to check your return values.


F:\Documents and Settings\Mark3>cat template.pl
use strict;
use warnings;

use HTML::Template;

my $filename = shift;

my $template = HTML::Template->new( filename => $filename ) or die $!;

print $template->output();

F:\Documents and Settings\Mark3>perl template.pl notexists.tmpl

You have to 'open' a file for write. TMPL_INCLUDE will insert the
contents of a pre-existing file.

Use HTML::Template to populate predefined values in a file/template.
Use an editor, or 'open' a file in your CGI, or other methods to
create a file.
