      [% POSIX.rand(1) %]
      [% POSIX.exp(2) %]

DESCRIPTION

As a TT programmer, I found it quite inflexible to use the Template Toolkit's presentation language Language due to the very limited vocabulary. So I wrote this little plugin in order to open a window for the template file to the full richness of most POSIX functions, making the Template language a "programming language" in a much more serious sense.

Please keep in mind I just used AUTOLOAD, eval, and Data::Dumper to do the magic here.

If you're looking for even more functions, I suggest you take a look at the Template::Plugin::Perl module which exports the excellent POSIX repertoire.

METHODS

"new"

Constructor called by the TT2 template system

"throw"

TT2 exception handling procedure.

TODO

• Add more unit tests.
