CGI::Builder::TT2

DESCRIPTION

This module transparently integrates "CGI::Builder" and "Template" in a very handy, powerful and flexible framework that can save you a lot of coding, time and resources.

With this module, you don't need to produce the "page_content" within your page handlers anymore (unless you want to); you don't even need to manage a template system yourself (unless you want to).

If you use a template system on your own (i.e. not integrated in a CBF extension), you will have to write all this code explicitly:

create a page handler for each page as usual
create a new template object and assign a new template file
find the runtime values and assign them to the template object
run the template process and set the "page_content" to the produced output

You can save all that by just including this module in your build, because it implements an internal transparent and automatic template system that even without your explicit intervention is capable of finding the correct template and the correct runtime values to fill it, and generates the page_content auto-magically. With this module you can even eliminate the page handlers that are just setting the page_content, because the page is automatically sent by the template system.
