replicants

vinylrecord

i have dcr which uses replicants to accept linkname, linkedpage n group to which this link belong. now in my tpl file i want to group these links based on their group. for that i need to assign the content of rep.GROUP to a variable n write a perl code in my tpl file.
i have 2 problems:
1. how to assign the content of rep.GROUP to a perl variable in my tpl file.
2. how to embed the perl code inside HTML tags in order to group links.

output should be like this
group1
link3
link2
group2
link1
link4....... n so on

If I understand what you're trying to do - I think you want to create a Perl hash of the values and then output from the hash. Something like (pseudo code):

my %hash;
... iterate ...
push (@{$hash{$group}}, "$linkname:$linkedpage");
... end iterate ...
foreach my $hkey (sort(keys(%hash))){
my $aref = $hash{$hkey};
iwpt_output("$hkey<br>");
foreach (@$aref){
my($ln, $lp) = split(/:/, $_);
iwpt_output(qq(<a href="$lp">$ln</a><br>\n);
}
...
