question on helpers returning data in template

[ty]

should all helpers used in the template just return output for display, or could they return values such as hash reference, where I could then take that
result and pass it to a taghelper like select_field?

something like

% my $cats = categories
%= select_field category => [ map { [ $_ => $cats->{$_} ] } keys %$cats ], id => 'category'

but that does not seem to work

Best regards,

As far as i know, helpers are just functions, that could be easily
called from templates. They could return anything - lists, pointers to
hashes, anonymous functions and so on. The problem is that you can use
only scalars in %= expressions.

I figured it out, it was a syntax error.  I had some characters that were not properly quotes when I tried to incorporate some jquery code with the select_field helper.  Thanks for everyone's reply.  I appreciated it.
