Template-Extract

[Changes for 0.41 - 2007-10-16]

LICENSING CHANGE: This compilation and all individual files in it are now under the permissive "MIT" license.
Tidied up source code and test files.

[Changes for 0.40 - 2005-09-17]

Support for capturing matched regular expressions into variables, Contributed by "woremacx". For example, this captures an nonempty header text into the "heading" variable:

<h2>[% heading =~ /((?!<\/h2).+?)/ %]</h2>

[Changes for 0.39 - 2005-07-15]

Allow passing Template::Parser options directly into Template::Extract->new(). Suggested by brian d foy.
Factored out the parser into Template::Extract::Parser to allow use of alternate parsers with the PARSE_CLASS class method.

[Changes for 0.38 - 2004-10-25]

[Changes for 0.37 - 2004-10-20]

Move under SVK for version management.
If the template ends with a capturing variable, make it greedy instead of nongreedy, so it won't always match the empty string. Reported by LTJake on IRC.

[Changes for 0.36 - 2004-02-16]

Separate the compilation and run parts into two modules, for ease of deployment (::Run may be put on a machine without TT2) and marginally faster execution. Suggested by Bruno De Fraine.

[Changes for 0.35 - 2004-01-09]

Fixes regression caused by newer TT2 versions, which adds the extra "#line" directives into the regular expressions. Spotted by Yi-Ming Cao and Sam Smith.
Implement suggestion from Luis Oliveira: embedded non-capturing regexes, such as [% /\s*/ %].
Add implicit optional newlines around [% FOREACH %] blocks, so it can intuitively work.

[Changes for 0.33 - 2003-12-13]

Adds MANIFEST.SKIP that takes care of Module::Build files, so older versions of Module::Build/MakeMaker won't trip Module::Signature over. Thanks to CPAN smoker Jost Krieger for the report.

[Changes for 0.32 - 2003-12-13]

Improved build intrastructure, suggested by Mark Fowler, to automatically check and download nmake.exe on Windows, as well as supporting a Module::Build-compatible Build.PL.
Clarify documents; add links to Simon and Mark's articles.

[Changes for 0.31 - 2003-10-21]

New flag $EXACT to control whether partial documents should match. (defaults to 0 for backward compatibility)
Tatsuhiko Miyagawa pointed out that [% FOREACH %] blocks fail to match prematurely because it can match zero times. Now outermost foreach blocks must match at least once.

[Changes for 0.30 - 2003-10-20]

This module is no longer experimental. :)
Russell Matbouli reports that extract did not properly set \%values. Fixed.
[% SET key = "value" %] now works inside FOREACHs.
[% SET nested.key = "value" %] now works.
Much more robust validating code inside FOREACHs.
Refactored the common context walking code from "get", "set" and "validate" into _ext, and improved readability.

[Changes for 0.25 - 2003-09-06]

Kate L Pugh pointed out the enterloop construct was failing if there are more than one loops inside another loop, because the loop counter of the first loop inside was inadvertently reset to 0. Fixed.

[Changes for 0.24 - 2003-09-02]

[Changes for 0.23 - 2003-09-02]

[Changes for 0.22 - 2003-09-01]

Properly handles backtracking, so two [% var %]s are guaranteed to match the same sequence.
Much more robust post-matching handlers, so the same variable matched at the same location (but are of different length) will not create a new item in the enclosing FOREACH array.

[Changes for 0.21 - 2003-09-01]

[Changes for 0.20 - 2003-08-31]

[% nested.variable.name %] now works.
Nested [% FOREACH %] blocks now work.
Much more robust and readable DEBUG output.
Commented the code somewhat so it's at least grokkable.
Allow [%...%], [% ... %], or any other combination of \s characters (or lack thereof).
