Hi all,

I've been using H::T for some time for simple stuff but I'm using it  
for something more complicated now. What I'd like to do is have one  
site-wide header template that gets included from individual pages  
receive a variable from the individual page's template.

Something like:

site-wide.tmpl:

<table>
	<tr>
		<td>(Title of subpage)</td>
	</tr>
         ....
</table>

Then individual pages have this:

<html>
	<body>
		<TMPL_INCLUDE NAME="header.tmpl">

		...
	</body>
</html>

Now what I'd like to do is set a variable in the individual page  
containing the "nice" title of the page. I don't want to set that  
name from code (it's a generic handler that basically calls H::T->new  
and sticks in some user properties. Ideally, I'd like to be able to  
set a variable in the individual page and do this in site-wide.tmpl:

<table>
	<tr>
		<td><TMPL_VAR NAME="title"></td>
	</tr>
         ....
</table>

And set the value for "title" in the individual page's template:

<html>
	<body>
                 <TMPL_SET_VAR title="abc">
		<TMPL_INCLUDE NAME="header.tmpl">

		...
	</body>
</html>

 From the perldoc, I can't find it and searching the mailing list  
won't work ("Unable to contact search server" etc.). A quick browse  
did reveal some info but not quite something as simple as I need now :)

Thanks,

Bas.
