Re: data structure for Template Toolkit

Are you on Linux or using Strawberry Perl? I used Activestate for 15+ years and I was surprised by how easy it was to move to Strawberry Perl about 3 years ago.  It's pretty darn easy to install modules with Strawberry Perl and seems to work every time. Mike Uri, thanks for the boatload of us

Re: data structure for Template Toolkit

Thanks, Brandon! I’m hosted at FutureQuest.net , which has Linux servers. So, nothing oddball or demanding about the environment. But my familiarty with Unix/Linux programming is almost nil, so I sweat over stuff that would seem clear to most programmers. — Rick > On O

Re: data structure for Template Toolkit

Many thanks to Andrew and Mike — your suggestions worked and gave me a lot to think about as well! That’s what love about this mailing list: I always learn a lot! Rick Triplett > I hope somebody has replied already. > If not, in general you are reading data from DATA, > creating an array and
