Thanks for the explanation.  Following your answer, I changed my config from:

        template => {
            package         => 'TemplateToolkit',
            file            => 'search.tt',
to:

        template => {
            package         => 'SWISH::TemplateToolkit',
            file            => 'search.tt',

and it worked.  The old .swishcgi.conf seems to use the earlier configuration.  Thanks again.

That won't work.  See below.

The package at the top of the module must match the "package" setting in 
the swish.cgi config file.

        template => {
            package         => 'SWISH::TemplateToolkit',
            file            => 'search.tt',
            options         => {
                INCLUDE_PATH    => '/home/moseley/swish-e/example', 
                #PRE_PROCESS     => 'config',
            },
        },

So in that case TemplateToolkit.pm should be:

  package SWISH::TemplateToolkit;

It doesn't have to be in the SWISH:: namespace, but the package must 
match in the config and the top of the module.

Where the file TemplateToolkit is installed doesn't matter as long as 
the @INC array is set.  If @INC = ('c:\some\path') then the module would 
be installed in c:\some\path\SWISH\TemplateToolkit.pm.

You could have:

        template => {
            package         => 'My::Own:Special:Place::TemplateToolkit',

and then it would be in <prefix>\My\Own\Special\Place\Template.pm and 
then set

   use lib '<prefix>';

where <prefix> is any path you like.

Does that make any sense?


I typically say "use lib" instead of "unshift @INC", but since the 
modules are loaded at run time it doesn't really make any difference.
