SYNOPSIS

Top

  use Template::Process;
  $tt = Template::Process->new();
                                # VARS
  $tt->process(TT => 'h.tt.html', DATA => 'vars.yml', OUT => 'h.html')
      or die $tt->error;

DESCRIPTION

Top

This module implements a facility to process TT2 scripts against data files, so that applying simple templates to simple data involves no coding.

This is the heart of the tt script (which comes in the same distribution).

METHODS

new
    $tt = Template::Process->new;

The constructor.

process
    $tt->process(TT => $tt, DATA => \@data, OUT => $out);

The elements at @data may be: hash refs, YAML and Perl filenames. A YAML filename is expected to exist (-f $_ returns true) and match /\.ya?ml$/. A Perl filename must satisfy -f $_ and match /\.PL$/.

If DATA is ommitted, the template is processed with no extra variables.

If OUT is ommitted, \*STDOUT is used.

error
    $tt->process(@ARGS) or
        die $tt->error;

In case of processing errors, returns a (hopefully) helpful message.

EXPORT

None at all. This is OO.
