Re: [cgiapp] Global vars management in templates

[Steve Comrie <suppressed>]

I've generally accomplished this in my modules by creating an 
app_template() function where needed.

sub app_template
{
   my $self = shift;
   my $tmplname = shift;

   my $t = $self->load_tmpl( $tmplname );
  
  $t->param( 'current_user' => $self->session( 'username') );
  $t->param( 'foo' => $self->config( 'foo') );
  $t->param( 'bar' => $ENV{ 'bar'} );

  return $t;
}

Then in any run mode, instead of calling load_tmpl (or whatever template 
loading methodology you're using) I call

my $t = app_template( 'edit.tmpl' );

and add my run-mode specific variables from there. Hope that helps.
