[rt-users] scrips and dynamic templates

  Thanks, that's already useful!

  Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Text::Template
  will let me put blocks of templated text between
  control structures. I can do this:

  {
    if (...) {
       $OUT .= "stuff";
    } else {
       $OUT .= "other stuff";
    }
  }

  
  But not this:

   [ if (...) { ]
       stuff

   [ } else { ]

       other stuff
   [}]


Oh, well.  At least I _can_ get done what I need to,
even if not pretty.  I realized after I sent my note,
Mason would have been a better choice than Template::Toolkit,
since RT already uses it.
