my $xml_hash = xml2hash $xml;
 
my $template = Template->new();
 
my $filename = 'output.tex';
 
#I think the following is a holdover from a previous version
#as I cannot check right now, I will leave as a comment:
#open my $fh, '>', $filename;
 
$template->process(\*DATA, $xml_hash, $filename)
    || die "Template process failed: ", $template->error(), "\n";
 
system( "pdflatex $filename" );
 
__DATA__

\begin{document}
\maketitle
 
[% FOREACH st IN student %]
Student [% st.number %] is a [% st.specialization %] [% st.degree %] student.

\end{document}

That's because Windows does not recognize the pdflatex program.

template::plugin::xml::rss

Template::Plugin::XML::RSS(3pm) 			User Contributed Perl Documentation			   Template::Plugin::XML::RSS(3pm)

NAME

       Template::Plugin::XML::RSS - Plugin interface to XML::RSS

SYNOPSIS

	   [% USE news = XML.RSS('news.rdf') %]

	   [% FOREACH item IN news.items %]
	      [% item.title %]
	      [% item.link  %]
	   [% END %]

DESCRIPTION

       This Template Toolkit plugin provides a simple interface to the XML::RSS module.

	   [% USE news = XML.RSS('mysite.rdf') %]

       It creates an XML::RSS object, which is then used to parse the RSS file specified as a parameter in the USE directive.  A reference to the
       XML::RSS object is then returned.

       An RSS (Rich Site Summary) file is typically used to store short news 'headlines' describing different links within a site.  This example
       is extracted from http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rdf.

       The attributes of the channel and image elements can be retrieved directly from the plugin object using the familiar dotted compound nota-
       tion:

	   [% news.channel.title  %]
	   [% news.channel.link   %]
	   [% news.channel.etc... %]

	   [% news.image.title	  %]
	   [% news.image.url	  %]
	   [% news.image.link	  %]
	   [% news.image.etc...   %]

       The list of news items can be retrieved using the 'items' method:

	   [% FOREACH item IN news.items %]
	      [% item.title %]
	      [% item.link  %]
	   [% END %]
