I don't see how this can be useful in our case. In HTML::Template the variables mentioned inside the section are local to that section, so it makes sense for them to assign to a specific section. We sort of have global variables. Another point this brings up. What if a variable that has multiple values is printed outside the section? I think it should just print the first value. > Yeah, I think it should default to doc_root unless ini setting is in effect. In the just updated spec I said we'd have tmpl.search_path setting which lists the possible directories for templates and defaults to . if not specified. > This should definitely be optional.

I suppose we'll need a way to modify these .ini settings. You can do it using ini_alter(), but should we have tmpl_set_ini() or something? -Andrei * It said 'Winmodem' on the box, but I still feel like I lost. *
