[Templates] Calling class methods with parameters from templates

[Berg, Eric]

Thanks, Robin and Clinton.

I didn't try Clinton's recommendation to quote the key of the hash I was =
passing in, because I'd already figured out that I had to pass parameters =
in to my subs using references.  Which, BTW, I generally do, however, I've =
been trying to adhere to the standard practices of the development group =
in which I work.  Now we'll do both from now on.

Thanks, guys.

-Eric.

If you allow you get_runner() method take arguments like this (hashref =
instead of hash-as-array-arguments)

=24suite->get_runner(=7BENVIRONMENT =3D> 'PROD' =7D);

You should probably be out of problems.
