Randal,

thanks, but that's not the problem. I'm calling the module with the 
"anycase" option enabled.

$tt = Template->new( { INCLUDE_PATH => $vars->{self_path}."/" . 
"template" , TAG_STYLE => 'asp', ANYCASE => 1}) || die("$!");

Besides, if it were the problem, I suppose the error message would be 
different, and it wouldn't just be thrown with "loop.last". I should add 
that the same template works perfectly with "loop.first", except that 
then of course it doesn't do what I want :-)
