Re: Multiple queries to populate drop down list boxes. Updated

Just to make absolutely sure I was getting all the variable data, I did a DataDump on $vars which is the variable that passes all the data to the template.  This is what it has in it:
markh@ubuhost:~$ cat /tmp/shifts.info
$VAR1 = \{
            'shifts' => \[
                            [
                              'First'
                            ],
                            [
                              'Second'
                            ],
                            [
                              'third'
                            ],
                            [
                              'weekend'
                            ]
                          ],
            'factories' => [
                             {
                               'abbr' => 'AB',
                               'id' => '1'
                             },
                             {
                               'abbr' => 'EBM',
                               'id' => '2'
                             },
                             {
                               'abbr' => 'QEM',
                               'id' => '3'
                             }
                           ],
            'cgi' => bless( {
                              '.parameters' => [],
                              'use_tempfile' => 1,
                              '.charset' => 'ISO-8859-1',
                              '.fieldnames' => {},
                              'param' => {},
                              'escape' => 1
                            }, 'CGI' )
          };
markh@ubuhost:~$

So, I know the data is at least getting  sent to the template, now it appears I have to look at the template code to see what's wrong.

I'm not even sure where to go with this now.  I found the Dumper::Dump template module and used it to see what was being sent to the html template.  I get all the 'factories' data but NONE of the 'shifts' data.  So, now I know where the problem is, but for the life of me don't know where to begin looking?  This doesn't seem to be a TT issue, but maybe more perl related.  Would it make sense to holler to the perl list?

At this point, what I know is the problem lies somwehere in HERE: Any, even the most insane idea, I'll take now.  I'm just lost here.

    $template->process($file, $vars)
