# Excel::Template::Container::Loop(3pm)

Excel::Template::Container::Loop

## NAME

Excel::Template::Container::Loop - Excel::Template::Container::Loop

## PURPOSE

To provide looping

## NODE NAME

LOOP

## INHERITANCE

Excel::Template::Container

## ATTRIBUTES

- •

  NAME

  This is the name of the loop. It's used to identify within the parameter set what variables to expose to the children nodes each iteration.

## CHILDREN

None

## EFFECTS

None

## DEPENDENCIES

None

## USAGE

```
  <loop name="LOOPY">
    ... Children here ...
  </loop>
```

In the above example, the children nodes would have access to the LOOPY array of hashes as parameters. Each iteration through the array would expose a different hash of parameters to the children.

These loops work just like HTML::Template's loops. (I promise I'll give more info here!)

There is one difference - I prefer using Perl-like scoping, so accessing of variables outside the LOOP scope from within is perfectly acceptable. You can also hide outside variables with inner values, if you desire, just like Perl.
