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

    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!

          [% var dig = [ 0 .. 9 ];
      anumber = dig.rand _ dig.rand _ dig.rand;
      anumber; %]
      Any ideas why I get this.... From reading the TemplateToolkit docs pudge's solution looks like it should work.

      • "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"
