If Sam were dead, I think he'd be rolling in his grave.

That is exactly what HTML::Template was designed NOT to do.

Hhahahah

Well, I did personally create the abortion know as HTML::Template::Expr, but this is really beyond the pale. I love how the example is presented in a HERE doc! Hey, why put it in a separate file at all!

That comment made me realize that one could call HTML::Template from the embedded Perl code. That'd be brilliant!

It's the same old pattern in a different light. Ingy had a hack to interpret dynamically generated Perl code from within cpr.

Yep -- using C to generate Perl within an interpreted C script that's run by Inline.pm, within a Perl interpreter. I'm just waiting for Pugs / Ponie to support this most egregious of hacks. ;-)
