# Template
# File: test.txt.tpl

This is a simple template:

With a list:

<% for my $entry ( @{ $::name_of_array_inside_template } ) { %>
- <%= $entry %>
<% } %>

And with some data:

<% for my $key ( keys %{ $::name_of_hash_inside_template } ) { %>
<%= $key %> -> <%= $::name_of_hash_inside_template->{$key} %>
<% } %>

And with some nested data:

<% for my $entry ( @{ $::name_of_nested } ) { %>
Entry:

   <% for my $key ( keys %{ $entry } ) { %>
     - <%= $key %> => <%= $entry->{$key} %>
   <% } %>

<% } %>
