        push(@array,{ name => 'Udlei', last => 'Nattis' });
        push(@array,{ name => 'Ananke', last => 'IT' });

        my $var = {
                id => 1,
                title => 'no title',
                text  => 'no text',
        };

        # Template Directory and File
        my $template_dir = "./";
        my $template_file = "template.html";
        my $template_vars = {
                'hello'  => "\nhello world",
                'scalar' => $var,
                'array'  => ['v1','v2','v3','v4'],
                'register' => \@array,
        };
        $template_vars->{SCRIPT_NAME} = "file.pl";

        # Method 1 - print
        # Create template object
        my $template = new Ananke::Template($template_dir);

        # Run Template
        $template->process($template_file,$template_vars);

        # Method 2 - print
        &Ananke::Template::view_template($template_dir,$template_file,$template_vars);

        [% END %]

        [% FOREACH i = array %]
                value = [% i %]
        [% END %]
