  [slash@yaz slash]$ perl -MSlash::Test -leDisplay
  [%
  digits = [ 0 .. 9 ];
  anumber = digits.rand _ digits.rand _ digits.rand;
  anumber;
  %]
  ^D
  769

  Note a few things:

  • _ is the concatenation operator in Template Toolkit (I don't recall when it was added, so test first before you use it).
  • The range operator (..) works in Template Toolkit.
  • rand() is a custom scalar op in Slash; it is not provided by Template Toolkit by default, last I checked.
  • Slash::Test is your friend!

      Slash::Test comes with the latest supported Slash release, 2.2.5. If you are using 2.0.x, well, then I don't think you can use it, but I am not sure, since I don't recall much about 2.0.x.

    Any ideas why I get this.... From reading the TemplateToolkit docs pudge's solution looks like it should work.

      Oh, I stuck in a "var" to see if that would help. I get the same message with and without the var, and yes I have restarted apache :-)

      "var dig"? Surely you mean "dig".

        I was getting pretty desperate and threw in a "var" on the off chance that it introduced a variable. It didn't make any difference. The example I gave has the same problem without the "var"
