Excel::Template::Container::Loop (3pm)

To provide looping

\s-1LOOP\s0

Excel::Template::Container

• \s-1NAME\s0 This is the name of the loop. It's used to identify within the parameter set what variables to expose to the children nodes each iteration.

None

  <loop name="LOOPY">
    ... Children here ...
  </loop>

In the above example, the children nodes would have access to the \s-1LOOPY\s0 array of hashes as parameters. Each iteration through the array would expose a different hash of parameters to the children.

These loops work just like HTML::Template's loops. (I promise I'll give more info here!)

There is one difference - I prefer using Perl-like scoping, so accessing of variables outside the \s-1LOOP\s0 scope from within is perfectly acceptable. You can also hide outside variables with inner values, if you desire, just like Perl.
