| 552 | +=head1 DESCRIPTION | ||
| 553 | + | ||
| 554 | +This is a library for generating form letters, building HTML pages, or | ||
| 555 | +filling in templates generally. A `template' is a piece of text that | ||
| 556 | +has little Perl programs embedded in it here and there. When you | ||
| 557 | +`fill in' a template, you evaluate the little programs and replace | ||
| 558 | +them with their values. | ||
| 559 | + | ||
| 560 | +You can store a template in a file outside your program. People can | ||
| 561 | +modify the template without modifying the program. You can separate | ||
| 562 | +the formatting details from the main code, and put the formatting | ||
| 563 | +parts of the program into the template. That prevents code bloat and | ||
| 564 | +encourages functional separation. | ||
| 565 | + | ||
| 566 | +=head2 Example | ||
| 567 | + | ||
| 568 | +Here's an example of a template, which we'll suppose is stored in the | ||
| 569 | +file C<formletter.tmpl>: | ||
| 570 | + | ||
| 571 | + Dear {$title} {$lastname}, | ||
| 572 | + | ||
| 573 | + It has come to our attention that you are delinquent in your | ||
| 574 | + {$monthname[$last_paid_month]} payment. Please remit | ||
| 575 | + ${sprintf("%.2f", $amount)} immediately, or your patellae may | ||
| 576 | + be needlessly endangered. | ||
| 577 | + | ||
| 578 | + Love, | ||
| 579 | + | ||
| 580 | + Mark "Vizopteryx" Dominus | ||
| 581 | + | ||
| 582 | + | ||
| 583 | +The result of filling in this template is a string, which might look | ||
| 584 | +something like this: | ||
| 585 | + | ||
| 586 | + Dear Mr. Gates, | ||
| 587 | + | ||
| 588 | + It has come to our attention that you are delinquent in your | ||
| 589 | + February payment. Please remit | ||
| 590 | + $392.12 immediately, or your patellae may | ||
| 591 | + be needlessly endangered. | ||

| 597 | + | ||
| 598 | +Here is a complete program that transforms the example | ||
| 599 | +template into the example result, and prints it out: | ||
| 600 | + | ||
| 601 | + use Text::Template; | ||
| 602 | + | ||
| 603 | + my $template = Text::Template->new(SOURCE => 'formletter.tmpl') | ||
| 604 | + or die "Couldn't construct template: $Text::Template::ERROR"; | ||
| 605 | + | ||
| 606 | + my @monthname = qw(January February March April May June | ||
| 607 | + July August September October November December); | ||
| 608 | + my %vars = (title => 'Mr.', | ||
| 609 | + firstname => 'Bill', | ||
| 610 | + lastname => 'Gates', | ||
| 611 | + last_paid_month => 1, # February | ||
| 612 | + amount => 392.12, | ||
| 613 | + monthname => \@monthname, | ||
| 614 | + ); | ||
| 615 | + | ||
| 616 | + my $result = $template->fill_in(HASH => \%vars); | ||
| 617 | + | ||
| 618 | + if (defined $result) { print $result } | ||
| 619 | + else { die "Couldn't fill in template: $Text::Template::ERROR" } | ||
| 620 | + | ||
| 621 | + | ||
| 622 | +=head2 Philosophy | ||
| 623 | + | ||
| 624 | +When people make a template module like this one, they almost always | ||
| 625 | +start by inventing a special syntax for substitutions. For example, | ||
| 626 | +they build it so that a string like C<%%VAR%%> is replaced with the | ||
| 627 | +value of C<$VAR>. Then they realize the need extra formatting, so | ||
| 628 | +they put in some special syntax for formatting. Then they need a | ||
| 629 | +loop, so they invent a loop syntax. Pretty soon they have a new | ||
| 630 | +little template language. | ||
| 631 | + | ||
| 632 | +This approach has two problems: First, their little language is | ||
| 633 | +crippled. If you need to do something the author hasn't thought of, | ||
| 634 | +you lose. Second: Who wants to learn another language? You already | ||
| 635 | +know Perl, so why not use it? | ||
| 636 | + | ||
| 637 | +C<Text::Template> templates are programmed in I<Perl>. You embed Perl | ||
| 638 | +code in your template, with C<{> at the beginning and C<}> at the end. | ||
| 639 | +If you want a variable interpolated, you write it the way you would in | ||
| 640 | +Perl. If you need to make a loop, you can use any of the Perl loop | ||
| 641 | +constructions. All the Perl built-in functions are available. | ||
| 642 | + | ||
| 643 | +=head1 Details | ||
| 644 | + | ||
| 645 | +=head2 Template Parsing | ||
| 646 | + | ||
| 647 | +The C<Text::Template> module scans the template source. An open brace | ||
| 648 | +C<{> begins a program fragment, which continues until the matching | ||
| 649 | +close brace C<}>. When the template is filled in, the program | ||
| 650 | +fragments are evaluated, and each one is replaced with the resulting | ||
| 651 | +value to yield the text that is returned. | ||
| 652 | + | ||
| 653 | +A backslash C<\> in front of a brace (or another backslash that is in | ||
| 654 | +front of a brace) escapes its special meaning. The result of filling | ||
| 655 | +out this template: | ||
| 656 | + | ||
| 657 | + \{ The sum of 1 and 2 is {1+2} \} | ||
| 658 | + | ||
| 659 | +is | ||
| 660 | + | ||
| 661 | + { The sum of 1 and 2 is 3 } | ||
| 662 | + | ||
| 663 | +If you have an unmatched brace, C<Text::Template> will return a | ||
| 664 | +failure code and a warning about where the problem is. Backslashes | ||
| 665 | +that do not precede a brace are passed through unchanged. If you have | ||
| 666 | +a template like this: | ||
| 667 | + | ||
| 668 | + { "String that ends in a newline.\n" } | ||
| 669 | + | ||
| 670 | +The backslash inside the string is passed through to Perl unchanged, | ||
| 671 | +so the C<\n> really does turn into a newline. See the note at the end | ||
| 672 | +for details about the way backslashes work. Backslash processing is | ||
| 673 | +I<not> done when you specify alternative delimiters with the | ||
| 674 | +C<DELIMITERS> option. (See L<"Alternative Delimiters">, below.) | ||
| 675 | + | ||
| 676 | +Each program fragment should be a sequence of Perl statements, which | ||
| 677 | +are evaluated the usual way. The result of the last statement | ||
| 678 | +executed will be evaluted in scalar context; the result of this | ||
| 679 | +statement is a string, which is interpolated into the template in | ||
| 680 | +place of the program fragment itself. | ||
| 681 | + | ||
| 682 | +The fragments are evaluated in order, and side effects from earlier | ||
| 683 | +fragments will persist into later fragments: | ||
| 684 | + | ||
| 685 | + {$x = @things; ''}The Lord High Chamberlain has gotten {$x} | ||
| 686 | + things for me this year. | ||
| 687 | + { $diff = $x - 17; | ||
| 688 | + $more = 'more' | ||
| 689 | + if ($diff == 0) { | ||
| 690 | + $diff = 'no'; | ||
| 691 | + } elsif ($diff < 0) { | ||
| 692 | + $more = 'fewer'; | ||
| 693 | + } | ||
| 694 | + ''; | ||
| 695 | + } | ||
| 696 | + That is {$diff} {$more} than he gave me last year. | ||
| 697 | + | ||
| 698 | +The value of C<$x> set in the first line will persist into the next | ||
| 699 | +fragment that begins on the third line, and the values of C<$diff> and | ||
| 700 | +C<$more> set in the second fragment will persist and be interpolated | ||
| 701 | +into the last line. The output will look something like this: | ||
| 702 | + | ||
| 703 | + The Lord High Chamberlain has gotten 42 | ||
| 704 | + things for me this year. | ||
| 705 | + | ||
| 706 | + That is 25 more than he gave me last year. | ||
| 707 | + | ||
| 708 | +That is all the syntax there is. | ||
| 709 | + | ||
| 710 | +=head2 The C<$OUT> variable | ||
| 711 | + | ||
| 712 | +There is one special trick you can play in a template. Here is the | ||
| 713 | +motivation for it: Suppose you are going to pass an array, C<@items>, | ||
| 714 | +into the template, and you want the template to generate a bulleted | ||
| 715 | +list with a header, like this: | ||
| 716 | + | ||
| 717 | + Here is a list of the things I have got for you since 1907: | ||
| 718 | + * Ivory | ||
| 719 | + * Apes | ||
| 720 | + * Peacocks | ||
| 721 | + * ... | ||
| 722 | + | ||
| 723 | +One way to do it is with a template like this: | ||
| 724 | + | ||
| 725 | + Here is a list of the things I have got for you since 1907: | ||
| 726 | + { my $blist = ''; | ||
| 727 | + foreach $i (@items) { | ||
| 728 | + $blist .= qq{ * $i\n}; | ||
| 729 | + } | ||
| 730 | + $blist; | ||
| 731 | + } | ||
| 732 | + | ||
| 733 | +Here we construct the list in a variable called C<$blist>, which we | ||
| 734 | +return at the end. This is a little cumbersome. There is a shortcut. | ||
| 735 | + | ||
| 736 | +Inside of templates, there is a special variable called C<$OUT>. | ||
| 737 | +Anything you append to this variable will appear in the output of the | ||
| 738 | +template. Also, if you use C<$OUT> in a program fragment, the normal | ||
| 739 | +behavior, of replacing the fragment with its return value, is | ||
| 740 | +disabled; instead the fragment is replaced with the value of C<$OUT>. | ||
| 741 | +This means that you can write the template above like this: | ||
| 742 | + | ||
| 743 | + Here is a list of the things I have got for you since 1907: | ||
| 744 | + { foreach $i (@items) { | ||
| 745 | + $OUT .= " * $i\n"; | ||
| 746 | + } | ||
| 747 | + } | ||
| 748 | + | ||
| 749 | +C<$OUT> is reinitialized to the empty string at the start of each | ||
| 750 | +program fragment. It is private to C<Text::Template>, so | ||
| 751 | +you can't use a variable named C<$OUT> in your template without | ||
| 752 | +invoking the special behavior. | ||
| 753 | + | ||
| 754 | +=head2 General Remarks | ||
| 755 | + | ||
| 756 | +All C<Text::Template> functions return C<undef> on failure, and set the | ||
| 757 | +variable C<$Text::Template::ERROR> to contain an explanation of what | ||
| 758 | +went wrong. For example, if you try to create a template from a file | ||
| 759 | +that does not exist, C<$Text::Template::ERROR> will contain something like: | ||
| 760 | + | ||
| 761 | + Couldn't open file xyz.tmpl: No such file or directory | ||
| 762 | + | ||
| 763 | +=head2 C<new> | ||
| 764 | + | ||
| 765 | + $template = new Text::Template ( TYPE => ..., SOURCE => ... ); | ||
| 766 | + | ||
| 767 | +This creates and returns a new template object. C<new> returns | ||
| 768 | +C<undef> and sets C<$Text::Template::ERROR> if it can't create the | ||
| 769 | +template object. C<SOURCE> says where the template source code will | ||
| 770 | +come from. C<TYPE> says what kind of object the source is. | ||
| 771 | + | ||
| 772 | +The most common type of source is a file: | ||
| 773 | + | ||
| 774 | + new Text::Template ( TYPE => 'FILE', SOURCE => $filename ); | ||
| 775 | + | ||
| 776 | +This reads the template from the specified file. The filename is | ||
| 777 | +opened with the Perl C<open> command, so it can be a pipe or anything | ||
| 778 | +else that makes sense with C<open>. | ||
| 779 | + | ||
| 780 | +The C<TYPE> can also be C<STRING>, in which case the C<SOURCE> should | ||
| 781 | +be a string: | ||
| 782 | + | ||
| 783 | + new Text::Template ( TYPE => 'STRING', | ||
| 784 | + SOURCE => "This is the actual template!" ); | ||
| 785 | + | ||
| 786 | +The C<TYPE> can be C<ARRAY>, in which case the source should be a | ||
| 787 | +reference to an array of strings. The concatenation of these strings | ||
| 788 | +is the template: | ||
| 789 | + | ||
| 790 | + new Text::Template ( TYPE => 'ARRAY', | ||
| 791 | + SOURCE => [ "This is ", "the actual", | ||
| 792 | + " template!", | ||
| 793 | + ] | ||
| 794 | + ); | ||
| 795 | + | ||
| 796 | +The C<TYPE> can be FILEHANDLE, in which case the source should be an | ||
| 797 | +open filehandle (such as you got from the C<FileHandle> or C<IO::*> | ||
| 798 | +packages, or a glob, or a reference to a glob). In this case | ||
| 799 | +C<Text::Template> will read the text from the filehandle up to | ||
| 800 | +end-of-file, and that text is the template: | ||
| 801 | + | ||
| 802 | + # Read template source code from STDIN: | ||
| 803 | + new Text::Template ( TYPE => 'FILEHANDLE', | ||
| 804 | + SOURCE => \*STDIN ); | ||
| 805 | + | ||
| 806 | + | ||
| 807 | +If you omit the C<TYPE> attribute, it's taken to be C<FILE>. | ||
| 808 | +C<SOURCE> is required. If you omit it, the program will abort. | ||
| 809 | + | ||
| 810 | +The words C<TYPE> and C<SOURCE> can be spelled any of the following ways: | ||
| 811 | + | ||
| 812 | + TYPE SOURCE | ||
| 813 | + Type Source | ||
| 814 | + type source | ||
| 815 | + -TYPE -SOURCE | ||
| 816 | + -Type -Source | ||
| 817 | + -type -source | ||
| 818 | + | ||
| 819 | +Pick a style you like and stick with it. | ||
| 820 | + | ||
| 821 | +=over 4 | ||
| 822 | + | ||
| 823 | +=item C<DELIMITERS> | ||
| 824 | + | ||
| 825 | +You may also add a C<DELIMITERS> option. If this option is present, | ||
| 826 | +its value should be a reference to an array of two strings. The first | ||
| 827 | +string is the string that signals the beginning of each program | ||
| 828 | +fragment, and the second string is the string that signals the end of | ||
| 829 | +each program fragment. See L<"Alternative Delimiters">, below. | ||
| 830 | + | ||
| 831 | +=item C<UNTAINT> | ||
| 832 | + | ||
| 833 | +If your program is running in taint mode, you may have problems if | ||
| 834 | +your templates are stored in files. Data read from files is | ||
| 835 | +considered 'untrustworthy', and taint mode will not allow you to | ||
| 836 | +evaluate the Perl code in the file. (It is afraid that a malicious | ||
| 837 | +person might have tampered with the file.) | ||
| 838 | + | ||
| 839 | +In some environments, however, local files are trustworthy. You can | ||
| 840 | +tell C<Text::Template> that a certain file is trustworthy by supplying | ||
| 841 | +C<UNTAINT =E<gt> 1> in the call to C<new>. This will tell | ||
| 842 | +C<Text::Template> to disable taint checks on template code that has | ||
| 843 | +come from a file, as long as the filename itself is considered | ||
| 844 | +trustworthy. It will also disable taint checks on template code that | ||
| 845 | +comes from a filehandle. When used with C<TYPE =E<gt> 'string'> or C<TYPE | ||
| 846 | +=E<gt> 'array'>, it has no effect. | ||
| 847 | + | ||
| 848 | +See L<perlsec> for more complete information about tainting. | ||

| 872 | +sets C<$Text::Template::ERROR>. If the template is already compiled, | ||
| 873 | +it returns true and does nothing. | ||
| 874 | + | ||
| 875 | +You don't usually need to invoke this function, because C<fill_in> | ||
| 876 | +(see below) compiles the template if it isn't compiled already. | ||
| 877 | + | ||
| 878 | +If there is an argument to this function, it must be a reference to an | ||
| 879 | +array containing alternative delimiter strings. See C<"Alternative | ||
| 880 | +Delimiters">, below. | ||
| 881 | + | ||

| 884 | + $template->fill_in(OPTIONS); | ||
| 885 | + | ||
| 886 | +Fills in a template. Returns the resulting text if successful. | ||
| 887 | +Otherwise, returns C<undef> and sets C<$Text::Template::ERROR>. | ||
| 888 | + | ||
| 889 | +The I<OPTIONS> are a hash, or a list of key-value pairs. You can | ||
| 890 | +write the key names in any of the six usual styles as above; this | ||
| 891 | +means that where this manual says C<PACKAGE> (for example) you can | ||
| 892 | +actually use any of | ||
| 893 | + | ||
| 894 | + PACKAGE Package package -PACKAGE -Package -package | ||
| 895 | + | ||
| 896 | +Pick a style you like and stick with it. The all-lowercase versions | ||
| 897 | +may yield spurious warnings about | ||
| 898 | + | ||
| 899 | + Ambiguous use of package => resolved to "package" | ||
| 900 | + | ||
| 901 | +so you might like to avoid them and use the capitalized versions. | ||
| 902 | + | ||
| 903 | +At present, there are eight legal options: C<PACKAGE>, C<BROKEN>, | ||
| 904 | +C<BROKEN_ARG>, C<SAFE>, C<HASH>, C<OUTPUT>, and C<DELIMITERS>. | ||
| 905 | + | ||
| 906 | +=over 4 | ||
| 907 | + | ||
| 908 | +=item C<PACKAGE> | ||
| 909 | + | ||
| 910 | +C<PACKAGE> specifies the name of a package in which the program | ||
| 911 | +fragments should be evaluated. The default is to use the package from | ||
| 912 | +which C<fill_in> was called. For example, consider this template: | ||
| 913 | + | ||
| 914 | + The value of the variable x is {$x}. | ||
| 915 | + | ||
| 916 | +If you use C<$template-E<gt>fill_in(PACKAGE =E<gt> 'R')> , then the C<$x> in | ||
| 917 | +the template is actually replaced with the value of C<$R::x>. If you | ||
| 918 | +omit the C<PACKAGE> option, C<$x> will be replaced with the value of | ||
| 919 | +the C<$x> variable in the package that actually called C<fill_in>. | ||
| 920 | + | ||
| 921 | +You should almost always use C<PACKAGE>. If you don't, and your | ||
| 922 | +template makes changes to variables, those changes will be propagated | ||
| 923 | +back into the main program. Evaluating the template in a private | ||
| 924 | +package helps prevent this. The template can still modify variables | ||
| 925 | +in your program if it wants to, but it will have to do so explicitly. | ||
| 926 | +See the section at the end on `Security'. | ||
| 927 | + | ||
| 928 | +Here's an example of using C<PACKAGE>: | ||
| 929 | + | ||
| 930 | + Your Royal Highness, | ||
| 931 | + | ||
| 932 | + Enclosed please find a list of things I have gotten | ||
| 933 | + for you since 1907: | ||
| 934 | + | ||
| 935 | + { foreach $item (@items) { | ||
| 936 | + $item_no++; | ||
| 937 | + $OUT .= " $item_no. \u$item\n"; | ||
| 938 | + } | ||
| 939 | + } | ||
| 940 | + | ||
| 941 | + Signed, | ||
| 942 | + Lord High Chamberlain | ||
| 943 | + | ||
| 944 | +We want to pass in an array which will be assigned to the array | ||
| 945 | +C<@items>. Here's how to do that: | ||
| 946 | + | ||
| 947 | + | ||
| 948 | + @items = ('ivory', 'apes', 'peacocks', ); | ||
| 949 | + $template->fill_in(); | ||
| 950 | + | ||
| 951 | +This is not very safe. The reason this isn't as safe is that if you | ||
| 952 | +had a variable named C<$item_no> in scope in your program at the point | ||
| 953 | +you called C<fill_in>, its value would be clobbered by the act of | ||
| 954 | +filling out the template. The problem is the same as if you had | ||
| 955 | +written a subroutine that used those variables in the same way that | ||
| 956 | +the template does. (C<$OUT> is special in templates and is always | ||
| 957 | +safe.) | ||
| 958 | + | ||
| 959 | +One solution to this is to make the C<$item_no> variable private to the | ||
| 960 | +template by declaring it with C<my>. If the template does this, you | ||
| 961 | +are safe. | ||
| 962 | + | ||
| 963 | +But if you use the C<PACKAGE> option, you will probably be safe even | ||
| 964 | +if the template does I<not> declare its variables with C<my>: | ||
| 965 | + | ||
| 966 | + @Q::items = ('ivory', 'apes', 'peacocks', ); | ||
| 967 | + $template->fill_in(PACKAGE => 'Q'); | ||
| 968 | + | ||
| 969 | +In this case the template will clobber the variable C<$Q::item_no>, | ||
| 970 | +which is not related to the one your program was using. | ||
| 971 | + | ||
| 972 | +Templates cannot affect variables in the main program that are | ||
| 973 | +declared with C<my>, unless you give the template references to those | ||
| 974 | +variables. | ||
| 975 | + | ||
| 976 | +=item C<HASH> | ||
| 977 | + | ||
| 978 | +You may not want to put the template variables into a package. | ||
| 979 | +Packages can be hard to manage: You can't copy them, for example. | ||
| 980 | +C<HASH> provides an alternative. | ||
| 981 | + | ||
| 982 | +The value for C<HASH> should be a reference to a hash that maps | ||
| 983 | +variable names to values. For example, | ||
| 984 | + | ||
| 985 | + $template->fill_in(HASH => { recipient => "The King", | ||
| 986 | + items => ['gold', 'frankincense', 'myrrh'], | ||
| 987 | + object => \$self, | ||
| 988 | + }); | ||
| 989 | + | ||
| 990 | +will fill out the template and use C<"The King"> as the value of | ||
| 991 | +C<$recipient> and the list of items as the value of C<@items>. Note | ||
| 992 | +that we pass an array reference, but inside the template it appears as | ||
| 993 | +an array. In general, anything other than a simple string or number | ||
| 994 | +should be passed by reference. | ||
| 995 | + | ||
| 996 | +We also want to pass an object, which is in C<$self>; note that we | ||
| 997 | +pass a reference to the object, C<\$self> instead. Since we've passed | ||
| 998 | +a reference to a scalar, inside the template the object appears as | ||
| 999 | +C<$object>. | ||
| 1000 | + | ||
| 1001 | +The full details of how it works are a little involved, so you might | ||
| 1002 | +want to skip to the next section. | ||
| 1003 | + | ||
| 1004 | +Suppose the key in the hash is I<key> and the value is I<value>. | ||
| 1005 | + | ||
| 1006 | +=over 4 | ||
| 1007 | + | ||
| 1008 | +=item * | ||
| 1009 | + | ||
| 1010 | +If the I<value> is C<undef>, then any variables named C<$key>, | ||
| 1011 | +C<@key>, C<%key>, etc., are undefined. | ||
| 1012 | + | ||
| 1013 | +=item * | ||
| 1014 | + | ||
| 1015 | +If the I<value> is a string or a number, then C<$key> is set to that | ||
| 1016 | +value in the template. | ||
| 1017 | + | ||
| 1018 | +=item * | ||
| 1019 | + | ||
| 1020 | +For anything else, you must pass a reference. | ||
| 1021 | + | ||
| 1022 | +If the I<value> is a reference to an array, then C<@key> is set to | ||
| 1023 | +that array. If the I<value> is a reference to a hash, then C<%key> is | ||
| 1024 | +set to that hash. Similarly if I<value> is any other kind of | ||
| 1025 | +reference. This means that | ||
| 1026 | + | ||
| 1027 | + var => "foo" | ||
| 1028 | + | ||
| 1029 | +and | ||
| 1030 | + | ||
| 1031 | + var => \"foo" | ||
| 1032 | + | ||
| 1033 | +have almost exactly the same effect. (The difference is that in the | ||
| 1034 | +former case, the value is copied, and in the latter case it is | ||
| 1035 | +aliased.) | ||
| 1036 | + | ||
| 1037 | +=item * | ||
| 1038 | + | ||
| 1039 | +In particular, if you want the template to get an object or any kind, | ||
| 1040 | +you must pass a reference to it: | ||
| 1041 | + | ||
| 1042 | + $template->fill_in(HASH => { database_handle => \$dbh, ... }); | ||
| 1043 | + | ||
| 1044 | +If you do this, the template will have a variable C<$database_handle> | ||
| 1045 | +which is the database handle object. If you leave out the C<\>, the | ||
| 1046 | +template will have a hash C<%database_handle>, which exposes the | ||
| 1047 | +internal structure of the database handle object; you don't want that. | ||
| 1048 | + | ||
| 1049 | +=back | ||
| 1050 | + | ||
| 1051 | +Normally, the way this works is by allocating a private package, | ||
| 1052 | +loading all the variables into the package, and then filling out the | ||
| 1053 | +template as if you had specified that package. A new package is | ||
| 1054 | +allocated each time. However, if you I<also> use the C<PACKAGE> | ||
| 1055 | +option, C<Text::Template> loads the variables into the package you | ||
| 1056 | +specified, and they stay there after the call returns. Subsequent | ||
| 1057 | +calls to C<fill_in> that use the same package will pick up the values | ||
| 1058 | +you loaded in. | ||
| 1059 | + | ||
| 1060 | +If the argument of C<HASH> is a reference to an array instead of a | ||
| 1061 | +reference to a hash, then the array should contain a list of hashes | ||
| 1062 | +whose contents are loaded into the template package one after the | ||
| 1063 | +other. You can use this feature if you want to combine several sets | ||
| 1064 | +of variables. For example, one set of variables might be the defaults | ||
| 1065 | +for a fill-in form, and the second set might be the user inputs, which | ||
| 1066 | +override the defaults when they are present: | ||
| 1067 | + | ||
| 1068 | + $template->fill_in(HASH => [\%defaults, \%user_input]); | ||
| 1069 | + | ||
| 1070 | +You can also use this to set two variables with the same name: | ||
| 1071 | + | ||
| 1072 | + $template->fill_in(HASH => [{ v => "The King" }, | ||
| 1073 | + { v => [1,2,3] }, | ||
| 1074 | + ] | ||
| 1075 | + ); | ||
| 1076 | + | ||
| 1077 | +This sets C<$v> to C<"The King"> and C<@v> to C<(1,2,3)>. | ||
| 1078 | + | ||
| 1079 | +=item C<BROKEN> | ||
| 1080 | + | ||
| 1081 | +If any of the program fragments fails to compile or aborts for any | ||
| 1082 | +reason, and you have set the C<BROKEN> option to a function reference, | ||
| 1083 | +C<Text::Template> will invoke the function. This function is called | ||
| 1084 | +the I<C<BROKEN> function>. The C<BROKEN> function will tell | ||
| 1085 | +C<Text::Template> what to do next. | ||
| 1086 | + | ||
| 1087 | +If the C<BROKEN> function returns C<undef>, C<Text::Template> will | ||
| 1088 | +immediately abort processing the template and return the text that it | ||
| 1089 | +has accumulated so far. If your function does this, it should set a | ||
| 1090 | +flag that you can examine after C<fill_in> returns so that you can | ||
| 1091 | +tell whether there was a premature return or not. | ||
| 1092 | + | ||
| 1093 | +If the C<BROKEN> function returns any other value, that value will be | ||
| 1094 | +interpolated into the template as if that value had been the return | ||
| 1095 | +value of the program fragment to begin with. For example, if the | ||
| 1096 | +C<BROKEN> function returns an error string, the error string will be | ||
| 1097 | +interpolated into the output of the template in place of the program | ||
| 1098 | +fragment that cased the error. | ||
| 1099 | + | ||
| 1100 | +If you don't specify a C<BROKEN> function, C<Text::Template> supplies | ||
| 1101 | +a default one that returns something like | ||
| 1102 | + | ||
| 1103 | + Program fragment delivered error ``Illegal division by 0 at | ||
| 1104 | + template line 37'' | ||
| 1105 | + | ||
| 1106 | +(Note that the format of this message has changed slightly since | ||
| 1107 | +version 1.31.) The return value of the C<BROKEN> function is | ||
| 1108 | +interpolated into the template at the place the error occurred, so | ||
| 1109 | +that this template: | ||
| 1110 | + | ||
| 1111 | + (3+4)*5 = { 3+4)*5 } | ||
| 1112 | + | ||
| 1113 | +yields this result: | ||
| 1114 | + | ||
| 1115 | + (3+4)*5 = Program fragment delivered error ``syntax error at template line 1'' | ||
| 1116 | + | ||
| 1117 | +If you specify a value for the C<BROKEN> attribute, it should be a | ||
| 1118 | +reference to a function that C<fill_in> can call instead of the | ||
| 1119 | +default function. | ||
| 1120 | + | ||
| 1121 | +C<fill_in> will pass a hash to the C<broken> function. | ||
| 1122 | +The hash will have at least these three members: | ||
| 1123 | + | ||

| 1128 | +The source code of the program fragment that failed | ||
| 1129 | + | ||
| 1130 | +=item C<error> | ||
| 1131 | + | ||
| 1132 | +The text of the error message (C<$@>) generated by eval. | ||
| 1133 | + | ||
| 1134 | +The text has been modified to omit the trailing newline and to include | ||
| 1135 | +the name of the template file (if there was one). The line number | ||
| 1136 | +counts from the beginning of the template, not from the beginning of | ||
| 1137 | +the failed program fragment. | ||
| 1138 | + | ||
| 1139 | +=item C<lineno> | ||
| 1140 | + | ||

| 1142 | + | ||
| 1143 | +=back | ||
| 1144 | + | ||
| 1145 | +There may also be an C<arg> member. See C<BROKEN_ARG>, below | ||
| 1146 | + | ||
| 1147 | +=item C<BROKEN_ARG> | ||
| 1148 | + | ||
| 1149 | +If you supply the C<BROKEN_ARG> option to C<fill_in>, the value of the | ||
| 1150 | +option is passed to the C<BROKEN> function whenever it is called. The | ||
| 1151 | +default C<BROKEN> function ignores the C<BROKEN_ARG>, but you can | ||
| 1152 | +write a custom C<BROKEN> function that uses the C<BROKEN_ARG> to get | ||
| 1153 | +more information about what went wrong. | ||
| 1154 | + | ||
| 1155 | +The C<BROKEN> function could also use the C<BROKEN_ARG> as a reference | ||
| 1156 | +to store an error message or some other information that it wants to | ||
| 1157 | +communicate back to the caller. For example: | ||
| 1158 | + | ||
| 1159 | + $error = ''; | ||
| 1160 | + | ||
| 1161 | + sub my_broken { | ||
| 1162 | + my %args = @_; | ||
| 1163 | + my $err_ref = $args{arg}; | ||
| 1164 | + ... | ||
| 1165 | + $$err_ref = "Some error message"; | ||
| 1166 | + return undef; | ||
| 1167 | + } | ||
| 1168 | + | ||
| 1169 | + $template->fill_in(BROKEN => \&my_broken, | ||
| 1170 | + BROKEN_ARG => \$error, | ||
| 1171 | + ); | ||
| 1172 | + | ||
| 1173 | + if ($error) { | ||
| 1174 | + die "It didn't work: $error"; | ||
| 1175 | + } | ||
| 1176 | + | ||
| 1177 | +If one of the program fragments in the template fails, it will call | ||
| 1178 | +the C<BROKEN> function, C<my_broken>, and pass it the C<BROKEN_ARG>, | ||
| 1179 | +which is a reference to C<$error>. C<my_broken> can store an error | ||
| 1180 | +message into C<$error> this way. Then the function that called | ||
| 1181 | +C<fill_in> can see if C<my_broken> has left an error message for it | ||
| 1182 | +to find, and proceed accordingly. | ||
| 1183 | + | ||
| 1184 | +=item C<SAFE> | ||
| 1185 | + | ||
| 1186 | +If you give C<fill_in> a C<SAFE> option, its value should be a safe | ||
| 1187 | +compartment object from the C<Safe> package. All evaluation of | ||
| 1188 | +program fragments will be performed in this compartment. See L<Safe> | ||
| 1189 | +for full details about such compartments and how to restrict the | ||
| 1190 | +operations that can be performed in them. | ||
| 1191 | + | ||
| 1192 | +If you use the C<PACKAGE> option with C<SAFE>, the package you specify | ||
| 1193 | +will be placed into the safe compartment and evaluation will take | ||
| 1194 | +place in that package as usual. | ||
| 1195 | + | ||
| 1196 | +If not, C<SAFE> operation is a little different from the default. | ||
| 1197 | +Usually, if you don't specify a package, evaluation of program | ||
| 1198 | +fragments occurs in the package from which the template was invoked. | ||
| 1199 | +But in C<SAFE> mode the evaluation occurs inside the safe compartment | ||
| 1200 | +and cannot affect the calling package. Normally, if you use C<HASH> | ||
| 1201 | +without C<PACKAGE>, the hash variables are imported into a private, | ||
| 1202 | +one-use-only package. But if you use C<HASH> and C<SAFE> together | ||
| 1203 | +without C<PACKAGE>, the hash variables will just be loaded into the | ||
| 1204 | +root namespace of the C<Safe> compartment. | ||
| 1205 | + | ||
| 1206 | +=item C<OUTPUT> | ||
| 1207 | + | ||
| 1208 | +If your template is going to generate a lot of text that you are just | ||
| 1209 | +going to print out again anyway, you can save memory by having | ||
| 1210 | +C<Text::Template> print out the text as it is generated instead of | ||
| 1211 | +making it into a big string and returning the string. If you supply | ||
| 1212 | +the C<OUTPUT> option to C<fill_in>, the value should be a filehandle. | ||
| 1213 | +The generated text will be printed to this filehandle as it is | ||
| 1214 | +constructed. For example: | ||
| 1215 | + | ||
| 1216 | + $template->fill_in(OUTPUT => \*STDOUT, ...); | ||
| 1217 | + | ||
| 1218 | +fills in the C<$template> as usual, but the results are immediately | ||
| 1219 | +printed to STDOUT. This may result in the output appearing more | ||
| 1220 | +quickly than it would have otherwise. | ||
| 1221 | + | ||
| 1222 | +If you use C<OUTPUT>, the return value from C<fill_in> is still true on | ||
| 1223 | +success and false on failure, but the complete text is not returned to | ||
| 1224 | +the caller. | ||
| 1225 | + | ||
| 1226 | +=item C<PREPEND> | ||
| 1227 | + | ||
| 1228 | +You can have some Perl code prepended automatically to the beginning | ||
| 1229 | +of every program fragment. See L<C<PREPEND> feature and using | ||
| 1230 | +C<strict> in templates> below. | ||
| 1231 | + | ||
| 1232 | +=item C<DELIMITERS> | ||
| 1233 | + | ||
| 1234 | +If this option is present, its value should be a reference to a list | ||
| 1235 | +of two strings. The first string is the string that signals the | ||
| 1236 | +beginning of each program fragment, and the second string is the | ||
| 1237 | +string that signals the end of each program fragment. See | ||
| 1238 | +L<"Alternative Delimiters">, below. | ||
| 1239 | + | ||
| 1240 | +If you specify C<DELIMITERS> in the call to C<fill_in>, they override | ||
| 1241 | +any delimiters you set when you created the template object with | ||
| 1242 | +C<new>. | ||

| 1248 | +=head2 C<fill_this_in> | ||
| 1249 | + | ||
| 1250 | +The basic way to fill in a template is to create a template object and | ||
| 1251 | +then call C<fill_in> on it. This is useful if you want to fill in | ||
| 1252 | +the same template more than once. | ||
| 1253 | + | ||
| 1254 | +In some programs, this can be cumbersome. C<fill_this_in> accepts a | ||
| 1255 | +string, which contains the template, and a list of options, which are | ||
| 1256 | +passed to C<fill_in> as above. It constructs the template object for | ||
| 1257 | +you, fills it in as specified, and returns the results. It returns | ||
| 1258 | +C<undef> and sets C<$Text::Template::ERROR> if it couldn't generate | ||
| 1259 | +any results. | ||

| 1274 | + | ||
| 1275 | +Notice how we included the template in-line in the program by using a | ||
| 1276 | +`here document' with the C<E<lt>E<lt>> notation. | ||
| 1277 | + | ||
| 1278 | +C<fill_this_in> is a deprecated feature. It is only here for | ||
| 1279 | +backwards compatibility, and may be removed in some far-future version | ||
| 1280 | +in C<Text::Template>. You should use C<fill_in_string> instead. It | ||
| 1281 | +is described in the next section. | ||
| 1282 | + | ||
| 1283 | +=head2 C<fill_in_string> | ||
| 1284 | + | ||
| 1285 | +It is stupid that C<fill_this_in> is a class method. It should have | ||
| 1286 | +been just an imported function, so that you could omit the | ||
| 1287 | +C<Text::Template-E<gt>> in the example above. But I made the mistake | ||
| 1288 | +four years ago and it is too late to change it. | ||
| 1289 | + | ||
| 1290 | +C<fill_in_string> is exactly like C<fill_this_in> except that it is | ||
| 1291 | +not a method and you can omit the C<Text::Template-E<gt>> and just say | ||
| 1292 | + | ||
| 1293 | + print fill_in_string(<<'EOM', ...); | ||
| 1294 | + Dear {$name}, | ||
| 1295 | + ... | ||
| 1296 | + EOM | ||
| 1297 | + | ||
| 1298 | +To use C<fill_in_string>, you need to say | ||
| 1299 | + | ||
| 1300 | + use Text::Template 'fill_in_string'; | ||
| 1301 | + | ||
| 1302 | +at the top of your program. You should probably use | ||
| 1303 | +C<fill_in_string> instead of C<fill_this_in>. | ||
| 1304 | + | ||
| 1305 | +=head2 C<fill_in_file> | ||
| 1306 | + | ||
| 1307 | +If you import C<fill_in_file>, you can say | ||
| 1308 | + | ||
| 1309 | + $text = fill_in_file(filename, ...); | ||
| 1310 | + | ||
| 1311 | +The C<...> are passed to C<fill_in> as above. The filename is the | ||
| 1312 | +name of the file that contains the template you want to fill in. It | ||
| 1313 | +returns the result text. or C<undef>, as usual. | ||
| 1314 | + | ||
| 1315 | +If you are going to fill in the same file more than once in the same | ||
| 1316 | +program you should use the longer C<new> / C<fill_in> sequence instead. | ||
| 1317 | +It will be a lot faster because it only has to read and parse the file | ||
| 1318 | +once. | ||
| 1319 | + | ||
| 1320 | +=head2 Including files into templates | ||
| 1321 | + | ||
| 1322 | +People always ask for this. ``Why don't you have an include | ||
| 1323 | +function?'' they want to know. The short answer is this is Perl, and | ||
| 1324 | +Perl already has an include function. If you want it, you can just put | ||
| 1325 | + | ||
| 1326 | + {qx{cat filename}} | ||
| 1327 | + | ||
| 1328 | +into your template. VoilE<agrave>. | ||
| 1329 | + | ||
| 1330 | +If you don't want to use C<cat>, you can write a little four-line | ||
| 1331 | +function that opens a file and dumps out its contents, and call it | ||
| 1332 | +from the template. I wrote one for you. In the template, you can say | ||
| 1333 | + | ||
| 1334 | + {Text::Template::_load_text(filename)} | ||
| 1335 | + | ||
| 1336 | +If that is too verbose, here is a trick. Suppose the template package | ||
| 1337 | +that you are going to be mentioning in the C<fill_in> call is package | ||
| 1338 | +C<Q>. Then in the main program, write | ||
| 1339 | + | ||
| 1340 | + *Q::include = \&Text::Template::_load_text; | ||
| 1341 | + | ||
| 1342 | +This imports the C<_load_text> function into package C<Q> with the | ||
| 1343 | +name C<include>. From then on, any template that you fill in with | ||
| 1344 | +package C<Q> can say | ||
| 1345 | + | ||
| 1346 | + {include(filename)} | ||
| 1347 | + | ||
| 1348 | +to insert the text from the named file at that point. If you are | ||
| 1349 | +using the C<HASH> option instead, just put C<include =E<gt> | ||
| 1350 | +\&Text::Template::_load_text> into the hash instead of importing it | ||
| 1351 | +explicitly. | ||
| 1352 | + | ||
| 1353 | +Suppose you don't want to insert a plain text file, but rather you | ||
| 1354 | +want to include one template within another? Just use C<fill_in_file> | ||
| 1355 | +in the template itself: | ||
| 1356 | + | ||
| 1357 | + {Text::Template::fill_in_file(filename)} | ||
| 1358 | + | ||
| 1359 | +You can do the same importing trick if this is too much to type. | ||
| 1360 | + | ||
| 1361 | +=head1 Miscellaneous | ||
| 1362 | + | ||
| 1363 | +=head2 C<my> variables | ||
| 1364 | + | ||
| 1365 | +People are frequently surprised when this doesn't work: | ||
| 1366 | + | ||
| 1367 | + my $recipient = 'The King'; | ||
| 1368 | + my $text = fill_in_file('formletter.tmpl'); | ||
| 1369 | + | ||
| 1370 | +The text C<The King> doesn't get into the form letter. Why not? | ||
| 1371 | +Because C<$recipient> is a C<my> variable, and the whole point of | ||
| 1372 | +C<my> variables is that they're private and inaccessible except in the | ||
| 1373 | +scope in which they're declared. The template is not part of that | ||
| 1374 | +scope, so the template can't see C<$recipient>. | ||
| 1375 | + | ||
| 1376 | +If that's not the behavior you want, don't use C<my>. C<my> means a | ||
| 1377 | +private variable, and in this case you don't want the variable to be | ||
| 1378 | +private. Put the variables into package variables in some other | ||
| 1379 | +package, and use the C<PACKAGE> option to C<fill_in>: | ||
| 1380 | + | ||
| 1381 | + $Q::recipient = $recipient; | ||
| 1382 | + my $text = fill_in_file('formletter.tmpl', PACKAGE => 'Q'); | ||
| 1383 | + | ||
| 1384 | + | ||
| 1385 | +or pass the names and values in a hash with the C<HASH> option: | ||
| 1386 | + | ||
| 1387 | + my $text = fill_in_file('formletter.tmpl', HASH => { recipient => $recipient }); | ||
| 1388 | + | ||
| 1389 | +=head2 Security Matters | ||
| 1390 | + | ||
| 1391 | +All variables are evaluated in the package you specify with the | ||
| 1392 | +C<PACKAGE> option of C<fill_in>. if you use this option, and if your | ||
| 1393 | +templates don't do anything egregiously stupid, you won't have to | ||
| 1394 | +worry that evaluation of the little programs will creep out into the | ||
| 1395 | +rest of your program and wreck something. | ||
| 1396 | + | ||
| 1397 | +Nevertheless, there's really no way (except with C<Safe>) to protect | ||
| 1398 | +against a template that says | ||
| 1399 | + | ||
| 1400 | + { $Important::Secret::Security::Enable = 0; | ||
| 1401 | + # Disable security checks in this program | ||
| 1402 | + } | ||
| 1403 | + | ||
| 1404 | +or | ||
| 1405 | + | ||
| 1406 | + { $/ = "ho ho ho"; # Sabotage future uses of <FH>. | ||
| 1407 | + # $/ is always a global variable | ||
| 1408 | + } | ||
| 1409 | + | ||
| 1410 | +or even | ||
| 1411 | + | ||
| 1412 | + { system("rm -rf /") } | ||
| 1413 | + | ||
| 1414 | +so B<don't> go filling in templates unless you're sure you know what's | ||
| 1415 | +in them. If you're worried, or you can't trust the person who wrote | ||
| 1416 | +the template, use the C<SAFE> option. | ||
| 1417 | + | ||
| 1418 | +A final warning: program fragments run a small risk of accidentally | ||
| 1419 | +clobbering local variables in the C<fill_in> function itself. These | ||
| 1420 | +variables all have names that begin with C<$fi_>, so if you stay away | ||
| 1421 | +from those names you'll be safe. (Of course, if you're a real wizard | ||
| 1422 | +you can tamper with them deliberately for exciting effects; this is | ||
| 1423 | +actually how C<$OUT> works.) I can fix this, but it will make the | ||
| 1424 | +package slower to do it, so I would prefer not to. If you are worried | ||
| 1425 | +about this, send me mail and I will show you what to do about it. | ||
| 1426 | + | ||
| 1427 | +=head2 Alternative Delimiters | ||
| 1428 | + | ||
| 1429 | +Lorenzo Valdettaro pointed out that if you are using C<Text::Template> | ||
| 1430 | +to generate TeX output, the choice of braces as the program fragment | ||
| 1431 | +delimiters makes you suffer suffer suffer. Starting in version 1.20, | ||
| 1432 | +you can change the choice of delimiters to something other than curly | ||
| 1433 | +braces. | ||
| 1434 | + | ||
| 1435 | +In either the C<new()> call or the C<fill_in()> call, you can specify | ||
| 1436 | +an alternative set of delimiters with the C<DELIMITERS> option. For | ||
| 1437 | +example, if you would like code fragments to be delimited by C<[@--> | ||
| 1438 | +and C<--@]> instead of C<{> and C<}>, use | ||
| 1439 | + | ||
| 1440 | + ... DELIMITERS => [ '[@--', '--@]' ], ... | ||
| 1441 | + | ||
| 1442 | +Note that these delimiters are I<literal strings>, not regexes. (I | ||
| 1443 | +tried for regexes, but it complicates the lexical analysis too much.) | ||
| 1444 | +Note also that C<DELIMITERS> disables the special meaning of the | ||
| 1445 | +backslash, so if you want to include the delimiters in the literal | ||
| 1446 | +text of your template file, you are out of luck---it is up to you to | ||
| 1447 | +choose delimiters that do not conflict with what you are doing. The | ||
| 1448 | +delimiter strings may still appear inside of program fragments as long | ||
| 1449 | +as they nest properly. This means that if for some reason you | ||
| 1450 | +absolutely must have a program fragment that mentions one of the | ||
| 1451 | +delimiters, like this: | ||
| 1452 | + | ||
| 1453 | + [@-- | ||
| 1454 | + print "Oh no, a delimiter: --@]\n" | ||
| 1455 | + --@] | ||
| 1456 | + | ||
| 1457 | +you may be able to make it work by doing this instead: | ||
| 1458 | + | ||
| 1459 | + [@-- | ||
| 1460 | + # Fake matching delimiter in a comment: [@-- | ||
| 1461 | + print "Oh no, a delimiter: --@]\n" | ||
| 1462 | + --@] | ||
| 1463 | + | ||
| 1464 | +It may be safer to choose delimiters that begin with a newline | ||
| 1465 | +character. | ||
| 1466 | + | ||
| 1467 | +Because the parsing of templates is simplified by the absence of | ||
| 1468 | +backslash escapes, using alternative C<DELIMITERS> may speed up the | ||
| 1469 | +parsing process by 20-25%. This shows that my original choice of C<{> | ||
| 1470 | +and C<}> was very bad. | ||
| 1471 | + | ||
| 1472 | +=head2 C<PREPEND> feature and using C<strict> in templates | ||
| 1473 | + | ||
| 1474 | +Suppose you would like to use C<strict> in your templates to detect | ||
| 1475 | +undeclared variables and the like. But each code fragment is a | ||
| 1476 | +separate lexical scope, so you have to turn on C<strict> at the top of | ||
| 1477 | +each and every code fragment: | ||
| 1478 | + | ||
| 1479 | + { use strict; | ||
| 1480 | + use vars '$foo'; | ||
| 1481 | + $foo = 14; | ||
| 1482 | + ... | ||
| 1483 | + } | ||
| 1484 | + | ||
| 1485 | + ... | ||
| 1486 | + | ||
| 1487 | + { # we forgot to put `use strict' here | ||
| 1488 | + my $result = $boo + 12; # $boo is misspelled and should be $foo | ||
| 1489 | + # No error is raised on `$boo' | ||
| 1490 | + } | ||
| 1491 | + | ||
| 1492 | +Because we didn't put C<use strict> at the top of the second fragment, | ||
| 1493 | +it was only active in the first fragment, and we didn't get any | ||
| 1494 | +C<strict> checking in the second fragment. Then we mispelled C<$foo> | ||
| 1495 | +and the error wasn't caught. | ||
| 1496 | + | ||
| 1497 | +C<Text::Template> version 1.22 and higher has a new feature to make | ||
| 1498 | +this easier. You can specify that any text at all be automatically | ||
| 1499 | +added to the beginning of each program fragment. | ||
| 1500 | + | ||
| 1501 | +When you make a call to C<fill_in>, you can specify a | ||
| 1502 | + | ||
| 1503 | + PREPEND => 'some perl statements here' | ||
| 1504 | + | ||
| 1505 | +option; the statements will be prepended to each program fragment for | ||
| 1506 | +that one call only. Suppose that the C<fill_in> call included a | ||
| 1507 | + | ||
| 1508 | + PREPEND => 'use strict;' | ||
| 1509 | + | ||
| 1510 | +option, and that the template looked like this: | ||
| 1511 | + | ||
| 1512 | + { use vars '$foo'; | ||
| 1513 | + $foo = 14; | ||
| 1514 | + ... | ||
| 1515 | + } | ||
| 1516 | + | ||
| 1517 | + ... | ||
| 1518 | + | ||
| 1519 | + { my $result = $boo + 12; # $boo is misspelled and should be $foo | ||
| 1520 | + ... | ||
| 1521 | + } | ||
| 1522 | + | ||
| 1523 | +The code in the second fragment would fail, because C<$boo> has not | ||
| 1524 | +been declared. C<use strict> was implied, even though you did not | ||
| 1525 | +write it explicitly, because the C<PREPEND> option added it for you | ||
| 1526 | +automatically. | ||
| 1527 | + | ||
| 1528 | +There are two other ways to do this. At the time you create the | ||
| 1529 | +template object with C<new>, you can also supply a C<PREPEND> option, | ||
| 1530 | +in which case the statements will be prepended each time you fill in | ||
| 1531 | +that template. If the C<fill_in> call has its own C<PREPEND> option, | ||
| 1532 | +this overrides the one specified at the time you created the | ||
| 1533 | +template. Finally, you can make the class method call | ||
| 1534 | + | ||
| 1535 | + Text::Template->always_prepend('perl statements'); | ||
| 1536 | + | ||
| 1537 | +If you do this, then call calls to C<fill_in> for I<any> template will | ||
| 1538 | +attach the perl statements to the beginning of each program fragment, | ||
| 1539 | +except where overridden by C<PREPEND> options to C<new> or C<fill_in>. | ||
| 1540 | + | ||
| 1541 | +=head2 Prepending in Derived Classes | ||
| 1542 | + | ||
| 1543 | +This section is technical, and you should skip it on the first few | ||
| 1544 | +readings. | ||
| 1545 | + | ||
| 1546 | +Normally there are three places that prepended text could come from. | ||
| 1547 | +It could come from the C<PREPEND> option in the C<fill_in> call, from | ||
| 1548 | +the C<PREPEND> option in the C<new> call that created the template | ||
| 1549 | +object, or from the argument of the C<always_prepend> call. | ||
| 1550 | +C<Text::Template> looks for these three things in order and takes the | ||
| 1551 | +first one that it finds. | ||
| 1552 | + | ||
| 1553 | +In a subclass of C<Text::Template>, this last possibility is | ||
| 1554 | +ambiguous. Suppose C<S> is a subclass of C<Text::Template>. Should | ||
| 1555 | + | ||
| 1556 | + Text::Template->always_prepend(...); | ||
| 1557 | + | ||
| 1558 | +affect objects in class C<Derived>? The answer is that you can have it | ||
| 1559 | +either way. | ||
| 1560 | + | ||
| 1561 | +The C<always_prepend> value for C<Text::Template> is normally stored | ||
| 1562 | +in a hash variable named C<%GLOBAL_PREPEND> under the key | ||
| 1563 | +C<Text::Template>. When C<Text::Template> looks to see what text to | ||
| 1564 | +prepend, it first looks in the template object itself, and if not, it | ||
| 1565 | +looks in C<$GLOBAL_PREPEND{I<class>}> where I<class> is the class to | ||
| 1566 | +which the template object belongs. If it doesn't find any value, it | ||
| 1567 | +looks in C<$GLOBAL_PREPEND{'Text::Template'}>. This means that | ||
| 1568 | +objects in class C<Derived> I<will> be affected by | ||
| 1569 | + | ||
| 1570 | + Text::Template->always_prepend(...); | ||
| 1571 | + | ||
| 1572 | +I<unless> there is also a call to | ||
| 1573 | + | ||
| 1574 | + Derived->always_prepend(...); | ||
| 1575 | + | ||
| 1576 | +So when you're designing your derived class, you can arrange to have | ||
| 1577 | +your objects ignore C<Text::Template::always_prepend> calls by simply | ||
| 1578 | +putting C<Derived-E<gt>always_prepend('')> at the top of your module. | ||
| 1579 | + | ||
| 1580 | +Of course, there is also a final escape hatch: Templates support a | ||
| 1581 | +C<prepend_text> that is used to look up the appropriate text to be | ||
| 1582 | +prepended at C<fill_in> time. Your derived class can override this | ||
| 1583 | +method to get an arbitrary effect. | ||
| 1584 | + | ||
| 1585 | +=head2 JavaScript | ||
| 1586 | + | ||
| 1587 | +Jennifer D. St Clair asks: | ||
| 1588 | + | ||
| 1589 | + > Most of my pages contain JavaScript and Stylesheets. | ||
| 1590 | + > How do I change the template identifier? | ||
| 1591 | + | ||
| 1592 | +Jennifer is worried about the braces in the JavaScript being taken as | ||
| 1593 | +the delimiters of the Perl program fragments. Of course, disaster | ||
| 1594 | +will ensue when perl tries to evaluate these as if they were Perl | ||
| 1595 | +programs. The best choice is to find some unambiguous delimiter | ||
| 1596 | +strings that you can use in your template instead of curly braces, and | ||
| 1597 | +then use the C<DELIMITERS> option. However, if you can't do this for | ||
| 1598 | +some reason, there are two easy workarounds: | ||
| 1599 | + | ||
| 1600 | +1. You can put C<\> in front of C<{>, C<}>, or C<\> to remove its | ||
| 1601 | +special meaning. So, for example, instead of | ||
| 1602 | + | ||
| 1603 | + if (br== "n3") { | ||
| 1604 | + // etc. | ||
| 1605 | + } | ||
| 1606 | + | ||
| 1607 | +you can put | ||
| 1608 | + | ||
| 1609 | + if (br== "n3") \{ | ||
| 1610 | + // etc. | ||
| 1611 | + \} | ||
| 1612 | + | ||
| 1613 | +and it'll come out of the template engine the way you want. | ||
| 1614 | + | ||
| 1615 | +But here is another method that is probably better. To see how it | ||
| 1616 | +works, first consider what happens if you put this into a template: | ||
| 1617 | + | ||
| 1618 | + { 'foo' } | ||
| 1619 | + | ||
| 1620 | +Since it's in braces, it gets evaluated, and obviously, this is going | ||
| 1621 | +to turn into | ||
| 1622 | + | ||
| 1623 | + foo | ||
| 1624 | + | ||
| 1625 | +So now here's the trick: In Perl, C<q{...}> is the same as C<'...'>. | ||
| 1626 | +So if we wrote | ||
| 1627 | + | ||
| 1628 | + {q{foo}} | ||
| 1629 | + | ||
| 1630 | +it would turn into | ||
| 1631 | + | ||
| 1632 | + foo | ||
| 1633 | + | ||
| 1634 | +So for your JavaScript, just write | ||
| 1635 | + | ||
| 1636 | + {q{if (br== "n3") { | ||
| 1637 | + // etc. | ||
| 1638 | + }} | ||
| 1639 | + } | ||
| 1640 | + | ||
| 1641 | +and it'll come out as | ||
| 1642 | + | ||
| 1643 | + if (br== "n3") { | ||
| 1644 | + // etc. | ||
| 1645 | + } | ||
| 1646 | + | ||
| 1647 | +which is what you want. | ||
| 1648 | + | ||
| 1649 | + | ||
| 1650 | +=head2 Shut Up! | ||
| 1651 | + | ||
| 1652 | +People sometimes try to put an initialization section at the top of | ||
| 1653 | +their templates, like this: | ||
| 1654 | + | ||
| 1655 | + { ... | ||
| 1656 | + $var = 17; | ||
| 1657 | + } | ||
| 1658 | + | ||
| 1659 | +Then they complain because there is a C<17> at the top of the output | ||
| 1660 | +that they didn't want to have there. | ||
| 1661 | + | ||
| 1662 | +Remember that a program fragment is replaced with its own return | ||
| 1663 | +value, and that in Perl the return value of a code block is the value | ||
| 1664 | +of the last expression that was evaluated, which in this case is 17. | ||
| 1665 | +If it didn't do that, you wouldn't be able to write C<{$recipient}> | ||
| 1666 | +and have the recipient filled in. | ||
| 1667 | + | ||
| 1668 | +To prevent the 17 from appearing in the output is very simple: | ||
| 1669 | + | ||
| 1670 | + { ... | ||
| 1671 | + $var = 17; | ||
| 1672 | + ''; | ||
| 1673 | + } | ||
| 1674 | + | ||
| 1675 | +Now the last expression evaluated yields the empty string, which is | ||
| 1676 | +invisible. If you don't like the way this looks, use | ||
| 1677 | + | ||
| 1678 | + { ... | ||
| 1679 | + $var = 17; | ||
| 1680 | + ($SILENTLY); | ||
| 1681 | + } | ||
| 1682 | + | ||
| 1683 | +instead. Presumably, C<$SILENTLY> has no value, so nothing will be | ||
| 1684 | +interpolated. This is what is known as a `trick'. | ||
| 1685 | + | ||
| 1686 | +=head2 Compatibility | ||
| 1687 | + | ||
| 1688 | +Every effort has been made to make this module compatible with older | ||
| 1689 | +versions. The only known exceptions follow: | ||
| 1690 | + | ||
| 1691 | +The output format of the default C<BROKEN> subroutine has changed | ||
| 1692 | +twice, most recently between versions 1.31 and 1.40. | ||
| 1693 | + | ||
| 1694 | +Starting in version 1.10, the C<$OUT> variable is arrogated for a | ||
| 1695 | +special meaning. If you had templates before version 1.10 that | ||
| 1696 | +happened to use a variable named C<$OUT>, you will have to change them | ||
| 1697 | +to use some other variable or all sorts of strangeness will result. | ||
| 1698 | + | ||
| 1699 | +Between versions 0.1b and 1.00 the behavior of the \ metacharacter | ||
| 1700 | +changed. In 0.1b, \\ was special everywhere, and the template | ||
| 1701 | +processor always replaced it with a single backslash before passing | ||
| 1702 | +the code to Perl for evaluation. The rule now is more complicated but | ||
| 1703 | +probably more convenient. See the section on backslash processing, | ||
| 1704 | +below, for a full discussion. | ||
| 1705 | + | ||
| 1706 | +=head2 Backslash Processing | ||
| 1707 | + | ||
| 1708 | +In C<Text::Template> beta versions, the backslash was special whenever | ||
| 1709 | +it appeared before a brace or another backslash. That meant that | ||
| 1710 | +while C<{"\n"}> did indeed generate a newline, C<{"\\"}> did not | ||
| 1711 | +generate a backslash, because the code passed to Perl for evaluation | ||
| 1712 | +was C<"\"> which is a syntax error. If you wanted a backslash, you | ||
| 1713 | +would have had to write C<{"\\\\"}>. | ||
| 1714 | + | ||
| 1715 | +In C<Text::Template> versions 1.00 through 1.10, there was a bug: | ||
| 1716 | +Backslash was special everywhere. In these versions, C<{"\n"}> | ||
| 1717 | +generated the letter C<n>. | ||
| 1718 | + | ||
| 1719 | +The bug has been corrected in version 1.11, but I did not go back to | ||
| 1720 | +exactly the old rule, because I did not like the idea of having to | ||
| 1721 | +write C<{"\\\\"}> to get one backslash. The rule is now more | ||
| 1722 | +complicated to remember, but probably easier to use. The rule is now: | ||
| 1723 | +Backslashes are always passed to Perl unchanged I<unless> they occur | ||
| 1724 | +as part of a sequence like C<\\\\\\{> or C<\\\\\\}>. In these | ||
| 1725 | +contexts, they are special; C<\\> is replaced with C<\>, and C<\{> and | ||
| 1726 | +C<\}> signal a literal brace. | ||
| 1727 | + | ||
| 1728 | +Examples: | ||
| 1729 | + | ||
| 1730 | + \{ foo \} | ||
| 1731 | + | ||
| 1732 | +is I<not> evaluated, because the C<\> before the braces signals that | ||
| 1733 | +they should be taken literally. The result in the output looks like this: | ||
| 1734 | + | ||
| 1735 | + { foo } | ||
| 1736 | + | ||
| 1737 | + | ||
| 1738 | +This is a syntax error: | ||
| 1739 | + | ||
| 1740 | + { "foo}" } | ||
| 1741 | + | ||
| 1742 | +because C<Text::Template> thinks that the code ends at the first C<}>, | ||
| 1743 | +and then gets upset when it sees the second one. To make this work | ||
| 1744 | +correctly, use | ||
| 1745 | + | ||
| 1746 | + { "foo\}" } | ||
| 1747 | + | ||
| 1748 | +This passes C<"foo}"> to Perl for evaluation. Note there's no C<\> in | ||
| 1749 | +the evaluated code. If you really want a C<\> in the evaluated code, | ||
| 1750 | +use | ||
| 1751 | + | ||
| 1752 | + { "foo\\\}" } | ||
| 1753 | + | ||
| 1754 | +This passes C<"foo\}"> to Perl for evaluation. | ||
| 1755 | + | ||
| 1756 | +Starting with C<Text::Template> version 1.20, backslash processing is | ||
| 1757 | +disabled if you use the C<DELIMITERS> option to specify alternative | ||
| 1758 | +delimiter strings. | ||
| 1759 | + | ||
| 1760 | +=head2 A short note about C<$Text::Template::ERROR> | ||
| 1761 | + | ||
| 1762 | +In the past some people have fretted about `violating the package | ||
| 1763 | +boundary' by examining a variable inside the C<Text::Template> | ||
| 1764 | +package. Don't feel this way. C<$Text::Template::ERROR> is part of | ||
| 1765 | +the published, official interface to this package. It is perfectly OK | ||
| 1766 | +to inspect this variable. The interface is not going to change. | ||
| 1767 | + | ||
| 1768 | +If it really, really bothers you, you can import a function called | ||
| 1769 | +C<TTerror> that returns the current value of the C<$ERROR> variable. | ||
| 1770 | +So you can say: | ||
| 1771 | + | ||
| 1772 | + use Text::Template 'TTerror'; | ||
| 1773 | + | ||
| 1774 | + my $template = new Text::Template (SOURCE => $filename); | ||
| 1775 | + unless ($template) { | ||
| 1776 | + my $err = TTerror; | ||
| 1777 | + die "Couldn't make template: $err; aborting"; | ||
| 1778 | + } | ||
| 1779 | + | ||
| 1780 | +I don't see what benefit this has over just doing this: | ||
| 1781 | + | ||
| 1782 | + use Text::Template; | ||
| 1783 | + | ||
| 1784 | + my $template = new Text::Template (SOURCE => $filename) | ||
| 1785 | + or die "Couldn't make template: $Text::Template::ERROR; aborting"; | ||
| 1786 | + | ||
| 1787 | +But if it makes you happy to do it that way, go ahead. | ||
| 1788 | + | ||
| 1789 | +=head2 Sticky Widgets in Template Files | ||
| 1790 | + | ||
| 1791 | +The C<CGI> module provides functions for `sticky widgets', which are | ||
| 1792 | +form input controls that retain their values from one page to the | ||
| 1793 | +next. Sometimes people want to know how to include these widgets | ||
| 1794 | +into their template output. | ||
| 1795 | + | ||
| 1796 | +It's totally straightforward. Just call the C<CGI> functions from | ||
| 1797 | +inside the template: | ||
| 1798 | + | ||
| 1799 | + { $q->checkbox_group(NAME => 'toppings', | ||
| 1800 | + LINEBREAK => true, | ||
| 1801 | + COLUMNS => 3, | ||
| 1802 | + VALUES => \@toppings, | ||
| 1803 | + ); | ||
| 1804 | + } | ||
| 1805 | + | ||
| 1806 | +=head2 Automatic preprocessing of program fragments | ||
| 1807 | + | ||
| 1808 | +It may be useful to preprocess the program fragments before they are | ||
| 1809 | +evaluated. See C<Text::Template::Preprocess> for more details. | ||
| 1810 | + | ||
| 1811 | +=head2 Automatic postprocessing of template hunks | ||
| 1812 | + | ||
| 1813 | +It may be useful to process hunks of output before they are appended to | ||
| 1814 | +the result text. For this, subclass and replace the C<append_text_to_result> | ||
| 1815 | +method. It is passed a list of pairs with these entries: | ||
| 1816 | + | ||
| 1817 | + handle - a filehandle to which to print the desired output | ||
| 1818 | + out - a ref to a string to which to append, to use if handle is not given | ||
| 1819 | + text - the text that will be appended | ||
| 1820 | + type - where the text came from: TEXT for literal text, PROG for code | ||

| 1958 | +=head2 Bugs and Caveats | ||
| 1959 | + | ||
| 1960 | +C<my> variables in C<fill_in> are still susceptible to being clobbered | ||
| 1961 | +by template evaluation. They all begin with C<fi_>, so avoid those | ||
| 1962 | +names in your templates. | ||
| 1963 | + | ||
| 1964 | +The line number information will be wrong if the template's lines are | ||
| 1965 | +not terminated by C<"\n">. You should let me know if this is a | ||
| 1966 | +problem. If you do, I will fix it. | ||
| 1967 | + | ||
| 1968 | +The C<$OUT> variable has a special meaning in templates, so you cannot | ||
| 1969 | +use it as if it were a regular variable. | ||
| 1970 | + | ||
| 1971 | +There are not quite enough tests in the test suite. | ||

| 35 | +=head1 VERSION | ||
| 36 | + | ||
| 37 | +This file documents C<Text::Template::Preprocess> version B<1.46> | ||
| 38 | + | ||
| 39 | +=head1 SYNOPSIS | ||
| 40 | + | ||
| 41 | + use Text::Template::Preprocess; | ||
| 42 | + | ||
| 43 | + my $t = Text::Template::Preprocess->new(...); # identical to Text::Template | ||
| 44 | + | ||
| 45 | + # Fill in template, but preprocess each code fragment with pp(). | ||
| 46 | + my $result = $t->fill_in(..., PREPROCESSOR => \&pp); | ||
| 47 | + | ||
| 48 | + my $old_pp = $t->preprocessor(\&new_pp); | ||
| 49 | + | ||
| 50 | +=head1 DESCRIPTION | ||
| 51 | + | ||
| 52 | +C<Text::Template::Preprocess> provides a new C<PREPROCESSOR> option to | ||
| 53 | +C<fill_in>. If the C<PREPROCESSOR> option is supplied, it must be a | ||
| 54 | +reference to a preprocessor subroutine. When filling out a template, | ||
| 55 | +C<Text::Template::Preprocessor> will use this subroutine to preprocess | ||
| 56 | +the program fragment prior to evaluating the code. | ||
| 57 | + | ||
| 58 | +The preprocessor subroutine will be called repeatedly, once for each | ||
| 59 | +program fragment. The program fragment will be in C<$_>. The | ||
| 60 | +subroutine should modify the contents of C<$_> and return. | ||
| 61 | +C<Text::Template::Preprocess> will then execute contents of C<$_> and | ||
| 62 | +insert the result into the appropriate part of the template. | ||
| 63 | + | ||
| 64 | +C<Text::Template::Preprocess> objects also support a utility method, | ||
| 65 | +C<preprocessor()>, which sets a new preprocessor for the object. This | ||
| 66 | +preprocessor is used for all subsequent calls to C<fill_in> except | ||
| 67 | +where overridden by an explicit C<PREPROCESSOR> option. | ||
| 68 | +C<preprocessor()> returns the previous default preprocessor function, | ||
| 69 | +or undefined if there wasn't one. When invoked with no arguments, | ||
| 70 | +C<preprocessor()> returns the object's current default preprocessor | ||
| 71 | +function without changing it. | ||
| 72 | + | ||
| 73 | +In all other respects, C<Text::Template::Preprocess> is identical to | ||
| 74 | +C<Text::Template>. | ||
| 75 | + | ||
| 76 | +=head1 WHY? | ||
| 77 | + | ||
| 78 | +One possible purpose: If your files contain a lot of JavaScript, like | ||
| 79 | +this: | ||
| 80 | + | ||
| 81 | + | ||
| 82 | + Plain text here... | ||
| 83 | + { perl code } | ||
| 84 | + <script language=JavaScript> | ||
| 85 | + if (br== "n3") { | ||
| 86 | + // etc. | ||
| 87 | + } | ||
| 88 | + </script> | ||
| 89 | + { more perl code } | ||
| 90 | + More plain text... | ||
| 91 | + | ||
| 92 | +You don't want C<Text::Template> to confuse the curly braces in the | ||
| 93 | +JavaScript program with executable Perl code. One strategy: | ||
| 94 | + | ||
| 95 | + sub quote_scripts { | ||
| 96 | + s(<script(.*?)</script>)(q{$1})gsi; | ||
| 97 | + } | ||
| 98 | + | ||
| 99 | +Then use C<PREPROCESSOR =E<gt> \"e_scripts>. This will transform | ||
| 100 | + | ||

| 552 | +=head1 DESCRIPTION | ||
| 553 | + | ||
| 554 | +This is a library for generating form letters, building HTML pages, or | ||
| 555 | +filling in templates generally. A `template' is a piece of text that | ||
| 556 | +has little Perl programs embedded in it here and there. When you | ||
| 557 | +`fill in' a template, you evaluate the little programs and replace | ||
| 558 | +them with their values. | ||
| 559 | + | ||
| 560 | +You can store a template in a file outside your program. People can | ||
| 561 | +modify the template without modifying the program. You can separate | ||
| 562 | +the formatting details from the main code, and put the formatting | ||
| 563 | +parts of the program into the template. That prevents code bloat and | ||
| 564 | +encourages functional separation. | ||
| 565 | + | ||
| 566 | +=head2 Example | ||
| 567 | + | ||
| 568 | +Here's an example of a template, which we'll suppose is stored in the | ||
| 569 | +file C<formletter.tmpl>: | ||
| 570 | + | ||
| 571 | + Dear {$title} {$lastname}, | ||
| 572 | + | ||
| 573 | + It has come to our attention that you are delinquent in your | ||
| 574 | + {$monthname[$last_paid_month]} payment. Please remit | ||
| 575 | + ${sprintf("%.2f", $amount)} immediately, or your patellae may | ||
| 576 | + be needlessly endangered. | ||
| 577 | + | ||
| 578 | + Love, | ||
| 579 | + | ||
| 580 | + Mark "Vizopteryx" Dominus | ||
| 581 | + | ||
| 582 | + | ||
| 583 | +The result of filling in this template is a string, which might look | ||
| 584 | +something like this: | ||
| 585 | + | ||
| 586 | + Dear Mr. Gates, | ||
| 587 | + | ||
| 588 | + It has come to our attention that you are delinquent in your | ||
| 589 | + February payment. Please remit | ||
| 590 | + $392.12 immediately, or your patellae may | ||
| 591 | + be needlessly endangered. | ||

| 597 | + | ||
| 598 | +Here is a complete program that transforms the example | ||
| 599 | +template into the example result, and prints it out: | ||
| 600 | + | ||
| 601 | + use Text::Template; | ||
| 602 | + | ||
| 603 | + my $template = Text::Template->new(SOURCE => 'formletter.tmpl') | ||
| 604 | + or die "Couldn't construct template: $Text::Template::ERROR"; | ||
| 605 | + | ||
| 606 | + my @monthname = qw(January February March April May June | ||
| 607 | + July August September October November December); | ||
| 608 | + my %vars = (title => 'Mr.', | ||
| 609 | + firstname => 'Bill', | ||
| 610 | + lastname => 'Gates', | ||
| 611 | + last_paid_month => 1, # February | ||
| 612 | + amount => 392.12, | ||
| 613 | + monthname => \@monthname, | ||
| 614 | + ); | ||
| 615 | + | ||
| 616 | + my $result = $template->fill_in(HASH => \%vars); | ||
| 617 | + | ||
| 618 | + if (defined $result) { print $result } | ||

| 620 | + | ||
| 621 | + | ||
| 622 | +=head2 Philosophy | ||
| 623 | + | ||
| 624 | +When people make a template module like this one, they almost always | ||
| 625 | +start by inventing a special syntax for substitutions. For example, | ||
| 626 | +they build it so that a string like C<%%VAR%%> is replaced with the | ||
| 627 | +value of C<$VAR>. Then they realize the need extra formatting, so | ||
| 628 | +they put in some special syntax for formatting. Then they need a | ||
| 629 | +loop, so they invent a loop syntax. Pretty soon they have a new | ||
| 630 | +little template language. | ||
| 631 | + | ||
| 632 | +This approach has two problems: First, their little language is | ||
| 633 | +crippled. If you need to do something the author hasn't thought of, | ||
| 634 | +you lose. Second: Who wants to learn another language? You already | ||
| 635 | +know Perl, so why not use it? | ||
| 636 | + | ||
| 637 | +C<Text::Template> templates are programmed in I<Perl>. You embed Perl | ||
| 638 | +code in your template, with C<{> at the beginning and C<}> at the end. | ||
| 639 | +If you want a variable interpolated, you write it the way you would in | ||
| 640 | +Perl. If you need to make a loop, you can use any of the Perl loop | ||
| 641 | +constructions. All the Perl built-in functions are available. | ||
| 642 | + | ||
| 643 | +=head1 Details | ||
| 644 | + | ||
| 645 | +=head2 Template Parsing | ||
| 646 | + | ||
| 647 | +The C<Text::Template> module scans the template source. An open brace | ||
| 648 | +C<{> begins a program fragment, which continues until the matching | ||
| 649 | +close brace C<}>. When the template is filled in, the program | ||
| 650 | +fragments are evaluated, and each one is replaced with the resulting | ||
| 651 | +value to yield the text that is returned. | ||
| 652 | + | ||
| 653 | +A backslash C<\> in front of a brace (or another backslash that is in | ||
| 654 | +front of a brace) escapes its special meaning. The result of filling | ||
| 655 | +out this template: | ||
| 656 | + | ||
| 657 | + \{ The sum of 1 and 2 is {1+2} \} | ||
| 658 | + | ||
| 659 | +is | ||
| 660 | + | ||
| 661 | + { The sum of 1 and 2 is 3 } | ||
| 662 | + | ||
| 663 | +If you have an unmatched brace, C<Text::Template> will return a | ||
| 664 | +failure code and a warning about where the problem is. Backslashes | ||
| 665 | +that do not precede a brace are passed through unchanged. If you have | ||
| 666 | +a template like this: | ||
| 667 | + | ||
| 668 | + { "String that ends in a newline.\n" } | ||
| 669 | + | ||
| 670 | +The backslash inside the string is passed through to Perl unchanged, | ||
| 671 | +so the C<\n> really does turn into a newline. See the note at the end | ||
| 672 | +for details about the way backslashes work. Backslash processing is | ||
| 673 | +I<not> done when you specify alternative delimiters with the | ||
| 674 | +C<DELIMITERS> option. (See L<"Alternative Delimiters">, below.) | ||
| 675 | + | ||
| 676 | +Each program fragment should be a sequence of Perl statements, which | ||
| 677 | +are evaluated the usual way. The result of the last statement | ||
| 678 | +executed will be evaluted in scalar context; the result of this | ||
| 679 | +statement is a string, which is interpolated into the template in | ||
| 680 | +place of the program fragment itself. | ||
| 681 | + | ||
| 682 | +The fragments are evaluated in order, and side effects from earlier | ||
| 683 | +fragments will persist into later fragments: | ||
| 684 | + | ||

| 710 | +=head2 The C<$OUT> variable | ||
| 711 | + | ||
| 712 | +There is one special trick you can play in a template. Here is the | ||
| 713 | +motivation for it: Suppose you are going to pass an array, C<@items>, | ||
| 714 | +into the template, and you want the template to generate a bulleted | ||
| 715 | +list with a header, like this: | ||
| 716 | + | ||
| 717 | + Here is a list of the things I have got for you since 1907: | ||
| 718 | + * Ivory | ||
| 719 | + * Apes | ||
| 720 | + * Peacocks | ||
| 721 | + * ... | ||
| 722 | + | ||
| 723 | +One way to do it is with a template like this: | ||
| 724 | + | ||
| 725 | + Here is a list of the things I have got for you since 1907: | ||
| 726 | + { my $blist = ''; | ||
| 727 | + foreach $i (@items) { | ||
| 728 | + $blist .= qq{ * $i\n}; | ||
| 729 | + } | ||
| 730 | + $blist; | ||
| 731 | + } | ||
| 732 | + | ||
| 733 | +Here we construct the list in a variable called C<$blist>, which we | ||
| 734 | +return at the end. This is a little cumbersome. There is a shortcut. | ||
| 735 | + | ||
| 736 | +Inside of templates, there is a special variable called C<$OUT>. | ||
| 737 | +Anything you append to this variable will appear in the output of the | ||
| 738 | +template. Also, if you use C<$OUT> in a program fragment, the normal | ||
| 739 | +behavior, of replacing the fragment with its return value, is | ||
| 740 | +disabled; instead the fragment is replaced with the value of C<$OUT>. | ||
| 741 | +This means that you can write the template above like this: | ||
| 742 | + | ||
| 743 | + Here is a list of the things I have got for you since 1907: | ||
| 744 | + { foreach $i (@items) { | ||
| 745 | + $OUT .= " * $i\n"; | ||
| 746 | + } | ||
| 747 | + } | ||
| 748 | + | ||
| 749 | +C<$OUT> is reinitialized to the empty string at the start of each | ||
| 750 | +program fragment. It is private to C<Text::Template>, so | ||
| 751 | +you can't use a variable named C<$OUT> in your template without | ||
| 752 | +invoking the special behavior. | ||
| 753 | + | ||
| 754 | +=head2 General Remarks | ||
| 755 | + | ||
| 756 | +All C<Text::Template> functions return C<undef> on failure, and set the | ||
| 757 | +variable C<$Text::Template::ERROR> to contain an explanation of what | ||
| 758 | +went wrong. For example, if you try to create a template from a file | ||
| 759 | +that does not exist, C<$Text::Template::ERROR> will contain something like: | ||
| 760 | + | ||
| 761 | + Couldn't open file xyz.tmpl: No such file or directory | ||
| 762 | + | ||
| 763 | +=head2 C<new> | ||
| 764 | + | ||
| 765 | + $template = new Text::Template ( TYPE => ..., SOURCE => ... ); | ||
| 766 | + | ||
| 767 | +This creates and returns a new template object. C<new> returns | ||
| 768 | +C<undef> and sets C<$Text::Template::ERROR> if it can't create the | ||
| 769 | +template object. C<SOURCE> says where the template source code will | ||
| 770 | +come from. C<TYPE> says what kind of object the source is. | ||
| 771 | + | ||
| 772 | +The most common type of source is a file: | ||
| 773 | + | ||
| 774 | + new Text::Template ( TYPE => 'FILE', SOURCE => $filename ); | ||
| 775 | + | ||
| 776 | +This reads the template from the specified file. The filename is | ||
| 777 | +opened with the Perl C<open> command, so it can be a pipe or anything | ||
| 778 | +else that makes sense with C<open>. | ||
| 779 | + | ||
| 780 | +The C<TYPE> can also be C<STRING>, in which case the C<SOURCE> should | ||
| 781 | +be a string: | ||
| 782 | + | ||
| 783 | + new Text::Template ( TYPE => 'STRING', | ||
| 784 | + SOURCE => "This is the actual template!" ); | ||
| 785 | + | ||
| 786 | +The C<TYPE> can be C<ARRAY>, in which case the source should be a | ||
| 787 | +reference to an array of strings. The concatenation of these strings | ||
| 788 | +is the template: | ||
| 789 | + | ||
| 790 | + new Text::Template ( TYPE => 'ARRAY', | ||
| 791 | + SOURCE => [ "This is ", "the actual", | ||
| 792 | + " template!", | ||
| 793 | + ] | ||
| 794 | + ); | ||
| 795 | + | ||
| 796 | +The C<TYPE> can be FILEHANDLE, in which case the source should be an | ||
| 797 | +open filehandle (such as you got from the C<FileHandle> or C<IO::*> | ||
| 798 | +packages, or a glob, or a reference to a glob). In this case | ||
| 799 | +C<Text::Template> will read the text from the filehandle up to | ||
| 800 | +end-of-file, and that text is the template: | ||
| 801 | + | ||
| 802 | + # Read template source code from STDIN: | ||
| 803 | + new Text::Template ( TYPE => 'FILEHANDLE', | ||
| 804 | + SOURCE => \*STDIN ); | ||
| 805 | + | ||
| 806 | + | ||
| 807 | +If you omit the C<TYPE> attribute, it's taken to be C<FILE>. | ||
| 808 | +C<SOURCE> is required. If you omit it, the program will abort. | ||
| 809 | + | ||
| 810 | +The words C<TYPE> and C<SOURCE> can be spelled any of the following ways: | ||
| 811 | + | ||
| 812 | + TYPE SOURCE | ||
| 813 | + Type Source | ||
| 814 | + type source | ||
| 815 | + -TYPE -SOURCE | ||
| 816 | + -Type -Source | ||
| 817 | + -type -source | ||

| 823 | +=item C<DELIMITERS> | ||
| 824 | + | ||
| 825 | +You may also add a C<DELIMITERS> option. If this option is present, | ||
| 826 | +its value should be a reference to an array of two strings. The first | ||
| 827 | +string is the string that signals the beginning of each program | ||
| 828 | +fragment, and the second string is the string that signals the end of | ||
| 829 | +each program fragment. See L<"Alternative Delimiters">, below. | ||
| 830 | + | ||
| 831 | +=item C<UNTAINT> | ||
| 832 | + | ||
| 833 | +If your program is running in taint mode, you may have problems if | ||
| 834 | +your templates are stored in files. Data read from files is | ||
| 835 | +considered 'untrustworthy', and taint mode will not allow you to | ||
| 836 | +evaluate the Perl code in the file. (It is afraid that a malicious | ||
| 837 | +person might have tampered with the file.) | ||
| 838 | + | ||
| 839 | +In some environments, however, local files are trustworthy. You can | ||
| 840 | +tell C<Text::Template> that a certain file is trustworthy by supplying | ||
| 841 | +C<UNTAINT =E<gt> 1> in the call to C<new>. This will tell | ||
| 842 | +C<Text::Template> to disable taint checks on template code that has | ||
| 843 | +come from a file, as long as the filename itself is considered | ||
| 844 | +trustworthy. It will also disable taint checks on template code that | ||
| 845 | +comes from a filehandle. When used with C<TYPE =E<gt> 'string'> or C<TYPE | ||
| 846 | +=E<gt> 'array'>, it has no effect. | ||
| 847 | + | ||
| 848 | +See L<perlsec> for more complete information about tainting. | ||

| 857 | +and using C<strict> in templates> below. | ||

| 867 | + | ||
| 868 | + $template->compile() | ||
| 869 | + | ||
| 870 | +Loads all the template text from the template's source, parses and | ||
| 871 | +compiles it. If successful, returns true; otherwise returns false and | ||
| 872 | +sets C<$Text::Template::ERROR>. If the template is already compiled, | ||
| 873 | +it returns true and does nothing. | ||
| 874 | + | ||
| 875 | +You don't usually need to invoke this function, because C<fill_in> | ||
| 876 | +(see below) compiles the template if it isn't compiled already. | ||
| 877 | + | ||
| 878 | +If there is an argument to this function, it must be a reference to an | ||
| 879 | +array containing alternative delimiter strings. See C<"Alternative | ||
| 880 | +Delimiters">, below. | ||

| 885 | + | ||
| 886 | +Fills in a template. Returns the resulting text if successful. | ||
| 887 | +Otherwise, returns C<undef> and sets C<$Text::Template::ERROR>. | ||
| 888 | + | ||
| 889 | +The I<OPTIONS> are a hash, or a list of key-value pairs. You can | ||
| 890 | +write the key names in any of the six usual styles as above; this | ||
| 891 | +means that where this manual says C<PACKAGE> (for example) you can | ||
| 892 | +actually use any of | ||
| 893 | + | ||
| 894 | + PACKAGE Package package -PACKAGE -Package -package | ||
| 895 | + | ||
| 896 | +Pick a style you like and stick with it. The all-lowercase versions | ||
| 897 | +may yield spurious warnings about | ||
| 898 | + | ||
| 899 | + Ambiguous use of package => resolved to "package" | ||
| 900 | + | ||
| 901 | +so you might like to avoid them and use the capitalized versions. | ||
| 902 | + | ||
| 903 | +At present, there are eight legal options: C<PACKAGE>, C<BROKEN>, | ||
| 904 | +C<BROKEN_ARG>, C<SAFE>, C<HASH>, C<OUTPUT>, and C<DELIMITERS>. | ||
| 905 | + | ||
| 906 | +=over 4 | ||
| 907 | + | ||
| 908 | +=item C<PACKAGE> | ||
| 909 | + | ||
| 910 | +C<PACKAGE> specifies the name of a package in which the program | ||
| 911 | +fragments should be evaluated. The default is to use the package from | ||
| 912 | +which C<fill_in> was called. For example, consider this template: | ||
| 913 | + | ||
| 914 | + The value of the variable x is {$x}. | ||
| 915 | + | ||
| 916 | +If you use C<$template-E<gt>fill_in(PACKAGE =E<gt> 'R')> , then the C<$x> in | ||
| 917 | +the template is actually replaced with the value of C<$R::x>. If you | ||
| 918 | +omit the C<PACKAGE> option, C<$x> will be replaced with the value of | ||
| 919 | +the C<$x> variable in the package that actually called C<fill_in>. | ||
| 920 | + | ||
| 921 | +You should almost always use C<PACKAGE>. If you don't, and your | ||
| 922 | +template makes changes to variables, those changes will be propagated | ||
| 923 | +back into the main program. Evaluating the template in a private | ||
| 924 | +package helps prevent this. The template can still modify variables | ||
| 925 | +in your program if it wants to, but it will have to do so explicitly. | ||
| 926 | +See the section at the end on `Security'. | ||
| 927 | + | ||
| 928 | +Here's an example of using C<PACKAGE>: | ||
| 929 | + | ||
| 930 | + Your Royal Highness, | ||
| 931 | + | ||
| 932 | + Enclosed please find a list of things I have gotten | ||
| 933 | + for you since 1907: | ||
| 934 | + | ||
| 935 | + { foreach $item (@items) { | ||
| 936 | + $item_no++; | ||
| 937 | + $OUT .= " $item_no. \u$item\n"; | ||
| 938 | + } | ||
| 939 | + } | ||
| 940 | + | ||
| 941 | + Signed, | ||
| 942 | + Lord High Chamberlain | ||
| 943 | + | ||
| 944 | +We want to pass in an array which will be assigned to the array | ||
| 945 | +C<@items>. Here's how to do that: | ||
| 946 | + | ||
| 947 | + | ||
| 948 | + @items = ('ivory', 'apes', 'peacocks', ); | ||
| 949 | + $template->fill_in(); | ||
| 950 | + | ||
| 951 | +This is not very safe. The reason this isn't as safe is that if you | ||
| 952 | +had a variable named C<$item_no> in scope in your program at the point | ||
| 953 | +you called C<fill_in>, its value would be clobbered by the act of | ||
| 954 | +filling out the template. The problem is the same as if you had | ||
| 955 | +written a subroutine that used those variables in the same way that | ||
| 956 | +the template does. (C<$OUT> is special in templates and is always | ||
| 957 | +safe.) | ||
| 958 | + | ||
| 959 | +One solution to this is to make the C<$item_no> variable private to the | ||
| 960 | +template by declaring it with C<my>. If the template does this, you | ||
| 961 | +are safe. | ||
| 962 | + | ||
| 963 | +But if you use the C<PACKAGE> option, you will probably be safe even | ||
| 964 | +if the template does I<not> declare its variables with C<my>: | ||
| 965 | + | ||
| 966 | + @Q::items = ('ivory', 'apes', 'peacocks', ); | ||
| 967 | + $template->fill_in(PACKAGE => 'Q'); | ||
| 968 | + | ||
| 969 | +In this case the template will clobber the variable C<$Q::item_no>, | ||
| 970 | +which is not related to the one your program was using. | ||
| 971 | + | ||
| 972 | +Templates cannot affect variables in the main program that are | ||
| 973 | +declared with C<my>, unless you give the template references to those | ||
| 974 | +variables. | ||
| 975 | + | ||
| 976 | +=item C<HASH> | ||
| 977 | + | ||
| 978 | +You may not want to put the template variables into a package. | ||
| 979 | +Packages can be hard to manage: You can't copy them, for example. | ||
| 980 | +C<HASH> provides an alternative. | ||
| 981 | + | ||
| 982 | +The value for C<HASH> should be a reference to a hash that maps | ||
| 983 | +variable names to values. For example, | ||
| 984 | + | ||
| 985 | + $template->fill_in(HASH => { recipient => "The King", | ||
| 986 | + items => ['gold', 'frankincense', 'myrrh'], | ||
| 987 | + object => \$self, | ||
| 988 | + }); | ||
| 989 | + | ||
| 990 | +will fill out the template and use C<"The King"> as the value of | ||
| 991 | +C<$recipient> and the list of items as the value of C<@items>. Note | ||
| 992 | +that we pass an array reference, but inside the template it appears as | ||
| 993 | +an array. In general, anything other than a simple string or number | ||
| 994 | +should be passed by reference. | ||
| 995 | + | ||
| 996 | +We also want to pass an object, which is in C<$self>; note that we | ||
| 997 | +pass a reference to the object, C<\$self> instead. Since we've passed | ||
| 998 | +a reference to a scalar, inside the template the object appears as | ||
| 999 | +C<$object>. | ||
| 1000 | + | ||
| 1001 | +The full details of how it works are a little involved, so you might | ||
| 1002 | +want to skip to the next section. | ||
| 1003 | + | ||
| 1004 | +Suppose the key in the hash is I<key> and the value is I<value>. | ||
| 1005 | + | ||
| 1006 | +=over 4 | ||
| 1007 | + | ||
| 1008 | +=item * | ||
| 1009 | + | ||
| 1010 | +If the I<value> is C<undef>, then any variables named C<$key>, | ||
| 1011 | +C<@key>, C<%key>, etc., are undefined. | ||
| 1012 | + | ||
| 1013 | +=item * | ||
| 1014 | + | ||
| 1015 | +If the I<value> is a string or a number, then C<$key> is set to that | ||
| 1016 | +value in the template. | ||
| 1017 | + | ||
| 1018 | +=item * | ||
| 1019 | + | ||
| 1020 | +For anything else, you must pass a reference. | ||
| 1021 | + | ||
| 1022 | +If the I<value> is a reference to an array, then C<@key> is set to | ||
| 1023 | +that array. If the I<value> is a reference to a hash, then C<%key> is | ||
| 1024 | +set to that hash. Similarly if I<value> is any other kind of | ||
| 1025 | +reference. This means that | ||
| 1026 | + | ||
| 1027 | + var => "foo" | ||
| 1028 | + | ||
| 1029 | +and | ||
| 1030 | + | ||
| 1031 | + var => \"foo" | ||
| 1032 | + | ||
| 1033 | +have almost exactly the same effect. (The difference is that in the | ||
| 1034 | +former case, the value is copied, and in the latter case it is | ||
| 1035 | +aliased.) | ||
| 1036 | + | ||
| 1037 | +=item * | ||
| 1038 | + | ||
| 1039 | +In particular, if you want the template to get an object or any kind, | ||
| 1040 | +you must pass a reference to it: | ||
| 1041 | + | ||
| 1042 | + $template->fill_in(HASH => { database_handle => \$dbh, ... }); | ||
| 1043 | + | ||
| 1044 | +If you do this, the template will have a variable C<$database_handle> | ||
| 1045 | +which is the database handle object. If you leave out the C<\>, the | ||
| 1046 | +template will have a hash C<%database_handle>, which exposes the | ||
| 1047 | +internal structure of the database handle object; you don't want that. | ||
| 1048 | + | ||
| 1049 | +=back | ||
| 1050 | + | ||
| 1051 | +Normally, the way this works is by allocating a private package, | ||
| 1052 | +loading all the variables into the package, and then filling out the | ||
| 1053 | +template as if you had specified that package. A new package is | ||
| 1054 | +allocated each time. However, if you I<also> use the C<PACKAGE> | ||
| 1055 | +option, C<Text::Template> loads the variables into the package you | ||
| 1056 | +specified, and they stay there after the call returns. Subsequent | ||
| 1057 | +calls to C<fill_in> that use the same package will pick up the values | ||
| 1058 | +you loaded in. | ||
| 1059 | + | ||
| 1060 | +If the argument of C<HASH> is a reference to an array instead of a | ||
| 1061 | +reference to a hash, then the array should contain a list of hashes | ||
| 1062 | +whose contents are loaded into the template package one after the | ||
| 1063 | +other. You can use this feature if you want to combine several sets | ||
| 1064 | +of variables. For example, one set of variables might be the defaults | ||
| 1065 | +for a fill-in form, and the second set might be the user inputs, which | ||
| 1066 | +override the defaults when they are present: | ||
| 1067 | + | ||
| 1068 | + $template->fill_in(HASH => [\%defaults, \%user_input]); | ||
| 1069 | + | ||
| 1070 | +You can also use this to set two variables with the same name: | ||
| 1071 | + | ||
| 1072 | + $template->fill_in(HASH => [{ v => "The King" }, | ||
| 1073 | + { v => [1,2,3] }, | ||
| 1074 | + ] | ||
| 1075 | + ); | ||
| 1076 | + | ||
| 1077 | +This sets C<$v> to C<"The King"> and C<@v> to C<(1,2,3)>. | ||
| 1078 | + | ||
| 1079 | +=item C<BROKEN> | ||
| 1080 | + | ||
| 1081 | +If any of the program fragments fails to compile or aborts for any | ||
| 1082 | +reason, and you have set the C<BROKEN> option to a function reference, | ||
| 1083 | +C<Text::Template> will invoke the function. This function is called | ||
| 1084 | +the I<C<BROKEN> function>. The C<BROKEN> function will tell | ||
| 1085 | +C<Text::Template> what to do next. | ||
| 1086 | + | ||
| 1087 | +If the C<BROKEN> function returns C<undef>, C<Text::Template> will | ||
| 1088 | +immediately abort processing the template and return the text that it | ||
| 1089 | +has accumulated so far. If your function does this, it should set a | ||
| 1090 | +flag that you can examine after C<fill_in> returns so that you can | ||
| 1091 | +tell whether there was a premature return or not. | ||
| 1092 | + | ||
| 1093 | +If the C<BROKEN> function returns any other value, that value will be | ||
| 1094 | +interpolated into the template as if that value had been the return | ||
| 1095 | +value of the program fragment to begin with. For example, if the | ||
| 1096 | +C<BROKEN> function returns an error string, the error string will be | ||
| 1097 | +interpolated into the output of the template in place of the program | ||
| 1098 | +fragment that cased the error. | ||
| 1099 | + | ||
| 1100 | +If you don't specify a C<BROKEN> function, C<Text::Template> supplies | ||
| 1101 | +a default one that returns something like | ||
| 1102 | + | ||
| 1103 | + Program fragment delivered error ``Illegal division by 0 at | ||
| 1104 | + template line 37'' | ||
| 1105 | + | ||
| 1106 | +(Note that the format of this message has changed slightly since | ||
| 1107 | +version 1.31.) The return value of the C<BROKEN> function is | ||
| 1108 | +interpolated into the template at the place the error occurred, so | ||
| 1109 | +that this template: | ||
| 1110 | + | ||
| 1111 | + (3+4)*5 = { 3+4)*5 } | ||
| 1112 | + | ||
| 1113 | +yields this result: | ||
| 1114 | + | ||
| 1115 | + (3+4)*5 = Program fragment delivered error ``syntax error at template line 1'' | ||
| 1116 | + | ||
| 1117 | +If you specify a value for the C<BROKEN> attribute, it should be a | ||
| 1118 | +reference to a function that C<fill_in> can call instead of the | ||
| 1119 | +default function. | ||
| 1120 | + | ||
| 1121 | +C<fill_in> will pass a hash to the C<broken> function. | ||
| 1122 | +The hash will have at least these three members: | ||
| 1123 | + | ||
| 1124 | +=over 4 | ||
| 1125 | + | ||
| 1126 | +=item C<text> | ||
| 1127 | + | ||
| 1128 | +The source code of the program fragment that failed | ||
| 1129 | + | ||
| 1130 | +=item C<error> | ||
| 1131 | + | ||
| 1132 | +The text of the error message (C<$@>) generated by eval. | ||
| 1133 | + | ||
| 1134 | +The text has been modified to omit the trailing newline and to include | ||
| 1135 | +the name of the template file (if there was one). The line number | ||
| 1136 | +counts from the beginning of the template, not from the beginning of | ||
| 1137 | +the failed program fragment. | ||
| 1138 | + | ||
| 1139 | +=item C<lineno> | ||
| 1140 | + | ||
| 1141 | +The line number of the template at which the program fragment began. | ||
| 1142 | + | ||
| 1143 | +=back | ||
| 1144 | + | ||
| 1145 | +There may also be an C<arg> member. See C<BROKEN_ARG>, below | ||
| 1146 | + | ||
| 1147 | +=item C<BROKEN_ARG> | ||
| 1148 | + | ||
| 1149 | +If you supply the C<BROKEN_ARG> option to C<fill_in>, the value of the | ||
| 1150 | +option is passed to the C<BROKEN> function whenever it is called. The | ||
| 1151 | +default C<BROKEN> function ignores the C<BROKEN_ARG>, but you can | ||
| 1152 | +write a custom C<BROKEN> function that uses the C<BROKEN_ARG> to get | ||
| 1153 | +more information about what went wrong. | ||
| 1154 | + | ||
| 1155 | +The C<BROKEN> function could also use the C<BROKEN_ARG> as a reference | ||
| 1156 | +to store an error message or some other information that it wants to | ||
| 1157 | +communicate back to the caller. For example: | ||
| 1158 | + | ||
| 1159 | + $error = ''; | ||
| 1160 | + | ||
| 1161 | + sub my_broken { | ||
| 1162 | + my %args = @_; | ||
| 1163 | + my $err_ref = $args{arg}; | ||
| 1164 | + ... | ||
| 1165 | + $$err_ref = "Some error message"; | ||
| 1166 | + return undef; | ||
| 1167 | + } | ||
| 1168 | + | ||
| 1169 | + $template->fill_in(BROKEN => \&my_broken, | ||
| 1170 | + BROKEN_ARG => \$error, | ||
| 1171 | + ); | ||
| 1172 | + | ||
| 1173 | + if ($error) { | ||
| 1174 | + die "It didn't work: $error"; | ||
| 1175 | + } | ||
| 1176 | + | ||
| 1177 | +If one of the program fragments in the template fails, it will call | ||
| 1178 | +the C<BROKEN> function, C<my_broken>, and pass it the C<BROKEN_ARG>, | ||
| 1179 | +which is a reference to C<$error>. C<my_broken> can store an error | ||
| 1180 | +message into C<$error> this way. Then the function that called | ||
| 1181 | +C<fill_in> can see if C<my_broken> has left an error message for it | ||
| 1182 | +to find, and proceed accordingly. | ||
| 1183 | + | ||
| 1184 | +=item C<SAFE> | ||
| 1185 | + | ||
| 1186 | +If you give C<fill_in> a C<SAFE> option, its value should be a safe | ||
| 1187 | +compartment object from the C<Safe> package. All evaluation of | ||
| 1188 | +program fragments will be performed in this compartment. See L<Safe> | ||
| 1189 | +for full details about such compartments and how to restrict the | ||
| 1190 | +operations that can be performed in them. | ||
| 1191 | + | ||
| 1192 | +If you use the C<PACKAGE> option with C<SAFE>, the package you specify | ||
| 1193 | +will be placed into the safe compartment and evaluation will take | ||
| 1194 | +place in that package as usual. | ||
| 1195 | + | ||
| 1196 | +If not, C<SAFE> operation is a little different from the default. | ||
| 1197 | +Usually, if you don't specify a package, evaluation of program | ||
| 1198 | +fragments occurs in the package from which the template was invoked. | ||
| 1199 | +But in C<SAFE> mode the evaluation occurs inside the safe compartment | ||
| 1200 | +and cannot affect the calling package. Normally, if you use C<HASH> | ||
| 1201 | +without C<PACKAGE>, the hash variables are imported into a private, | ||
| 1202 | +one-use-only package. But if you use C<HASH> and C<SAFE> together | ||
| 1203 | +without C<PACKAGE>, the hash variables will just be loaded into the | ||
| 1204 | +root namespace of the C<Safe> compartment. | ||
| 1205 | + | ||
| 1206 | +=item C<OUTPUT> | ||
| 1207 | + | ||
| 1208 | +If your template is going to generate a lot of text that you are just | ||
| 1209 | +going to print out again anyway, you can save memory by having | ||
| 1210 | +C<Text::Template> print out the text as it is generated instead of | ||
| 1211 | +making it into a big string and returning the string. If you supply | ||
| 1212 | +the C<OUTPUT> option to C<fill_in>, the value should be a filehandle. | ||
| 1213 | +The generated text will be printed to this filehandle as it is | ||
| 1214 | +constructed. For example: | ||
| 1215 | + | ||
| 1216 | + $template->fill_in(OUTPUT => \*STDOUT, ...); | ||
| 1217 | + | ||
| 1218 | +fills in the C<$template> as usual, but the results are immediately | ||
| 1219 | +printed to STDOUT. This may result in the output appearing more | ||
| 1220 | +quickly than it would have otherwise. | ||
| 1221 | + | ||
| 1222 | +If you use C<OUTPUT>, the return value from C<fill_in> is still true on | ||
| 1223 | +success and false on failure, but the complete text is not returned to | ||
| 1224 | +the caller. | ||
| 1225 | + | ||
| 1226 | +=item C<PREPEND> | ||
| 1227 | + | ||
| 1228 | +You can have some Perl code prepended automatically to the beginning | ||
| 1229 | +of every program fragment. See L<C<PREPEND> feature and using | ||
| 1230 | +C<strict> in templates> below. | ||
| 1231 | + | ||
| 1232 | +=item C<DELIMITERS> | ||
| 1233 | + | ||
| 1234 | +If this option is present, its value should be a reference to a list | ||
| 1235 | +of two strings. The first string is the string that signals the | ||
| 1236 | +beginning of each program fragment, and the second string is the | ||
| 1237 | +string that signals the end of each program fragment. See | ||
| 1238 | +L<"Alternative Delimiters">, below. | ||
| 1239 | + | ||
| 1240 | +If you specify C<DELIMITERS> in the call to C<fill_in>, they override | ||
| 1241 | +any delimiters you set when you created the template object with | ||
| 1242 | +C<new>. | ||
| 1243 | + | ||

| 1246 | +=head1 Convenience Functions | ||
| 1247 | + | ||
| 1248 | +=head2 C<fill_this_in> | ||
| 1249 | + | ||
| 1250 | +The basic way to fill in a template is to create a template object and | ||
| 1251 | +then call C<fill_in> on it. This is useful if you want to fill in | ||
| 1252 | +the same template more than once. | ||
| 1253 | + | ||
| 1254 | +In some programs, this can be cumbersome. C<fill_this_in> accepts a | ||
| 1255 | +string, which contains the template, and a list of options, which are | ||
| 1256 | +passed to C<fill_in> as above. It constructs the template object for | ||
| 1257 | +you, fills it in as specified, and returns the results. It returns | ||
| 1258 | +C<undef> and sets C<$Text::Template::ERROR> if it couldn't generate | ||
| 1259 | +any results. | ||
| 1260 | + | ||
| 1261 | +An example: | ||
| 1262 | + | ||
| 1263 | + $Q::name = 'Donald'; | ||
| 1264 | + $Q::amount = 141.61; | ||
| 1265 | + $Q::part = 'hyoid bone'; | ||
| 1266 | + | ||
| 1267 | + $text = Text::Template->fill_this_in( <<'EOM', PACKAGE => Q); | ||
| 1268 | + Dear {$name}, | ||
| 1269 | + You owe me \\${sprintf('%.2f', $amount)}. | ||
| 1270 | + Pay or I will break your {$part}. | ||
| 1271 | + Love, | ||
| 1272 | + Grand Vizopteryx of Irkutsk. | ||
| 1273 | + EOM | ||
| 1274 | + | ||
| 1275 | +Notice how we included the template in-line in the program by using a | ||
| 1276 | +`here document' with the C<E<lt>E<lt>> notation. | ||
| 1277 | + | ||
| 1278 | +C<fill_this_in> is a deprecated feature. It is only here for | ||
| 1279 | +backwards compatibility, and may be removed in some far-future version | ||
| 1280 | +in C<Text::Template>. You should use C<fill_in_string> instead. It | ||
| 1281 | +is described in the next section. | ||
| 1282 | + | ||
| 1283 | +=head2 C<fill_in_string> | ||
| 1284 | + | ||
| 1285 | +It is stupid that C<fill_this_in> is a class method. It should have | ||
| 1286 | +been just an imported function, so that you could omit the | ||
| 1287 | +C<Text::Template-E<gt>> in the example above. But I made the mistake | ||
| 1288 | +four years ago and it is too late to change it. | ||
| 1289 | + | ||
| 1290 | +C<fill_in_string> is exactly like C<fill_this_in> except that it is | ||
| 1291 | +not a method and you can omit the C<Text::Template-E<gt>> and just say | ||
| 1292 | + | ||
| 1293 | + print fill_in_string(<<'EOM', ...); | ||
| 1294 | + Dear {$name}, | ||
| 1295 | + ... | ||
| 1296 | + EOM | ||
| 1297 | + | ||
| 1298 | +To use C<fill_in_string>, you need to say | ||
| 1299 | + | ||
| 1300 | + use Text::Template 'fill_in_string'; | ||
| 1301 | + | ||
| 1302 | +at the top of your program. You should probably use | ||
| 1303 | +C<fill_in_string> instead of C<fill_this_in>. | ||
| 1304 | + | ||
| 1305 | +=head2 C<fill_in_file> | ||
| 1306 | + | ||
| 1307 | +If you import C<fill_in_file>, you can say | ||
| 1308 | + | ||
| 1309 | + $text = fill_in_file(filename, ...); | ||
| 1310 | + | ||
| 1311 | +The C<...> are passed to C<fill_in> as above. The filename is the | ||
| 1312 | +name of the file that contains the template you want to fill in. It | ||
| 1313 | +returns the result text. or C<undef>, as usual. | ||
| 1314 | + | ||
| 1315 | +If you are going to fill in the same file more than once in the same | ||
| 1316 | +program you should use the longer C<new> / C<fill_in> sequence instead. | ||
| 1317 | +It will be a lot faster because it only has to read and parse the file | ||
| 1318 | +once. | ||
| 1319 | + | ||
| 1320 | +=head2 Including files into templates | ||
| 1321 | + | ||
| 1322 | +People always ask for this. ``Why don't you have an include | ||
| 1323 | +function?'' they want to know. The short answer is this is Perl, and | ||
| 1324 | +Perl already has an include function. If you want it, you can just put | ||
| 1325 | + | ||
| 1326 | + {qx{cat filename}} | ||
| 1327 | + | ||
| 1328 | +into your template. VoilE<agrave>. | ||
| 1329 | + | ||
| 1330 | +If you don't want to use C<cat>, you can write a little four-line | ||
| 1331 | +function that opens a file and dumps out its contents, and call it | ||
| 1332 | +from the template. I wrote one for you. In the template, you can say | ||
| 1333 | + | ||
| 1334 | + {Text::Template::_load_text(filename)} | ||
| 1335 | + | ||
| 1336 | +If that is too verbose, here is a trick. Suppose the template package | ||
| 1337 | +that you are going to be mentioning in the C<fill_in> call is package | ||
| 1338 | +C<Q>. Then in the main program, write | ||
| 1339 | + | ||
| 1340 | + *Q::include = \&Text::Template::_load_text; | ||
| 1341 | + | ||
| 1342 | +This imports the C<_load_text> function into package C<Q> with the | ||
| 1343 | +name C<include>. From then on, any template that you fill in with | ||
| 1344 | +package C<Q> can say | ||
| 1345 | + | ||
| 1346 | + {include(filename)} | ||
| 1347 | + | ||
| 1348 | +to insert the text from the named file at that point. If you are | ||
| 1349 | +using the C<HASH> option instead, just put C<include =E<gt> | ||
| 1350 | +\&Text::Template::_load_text> into the hash instead of importing it | ||
| 1351 | +explicitly. | ||
| 1352 | + | ||
| 1353 | +Suppose you don't want to insert a plain text file, but rather you | ||
| 1354 | +want to include one template within another? Just use C<fill_in_file> | ||
| 1355 | +in the template itself: | ||
| 1356 | + | ||
| 1357 | + {Text::Template::fill_in_file(filename)} | ||
| 1358 | + | ||
| 1359 | +You can do the same importing trick if this is too much to type. | ||
| 1360 | + | ||
| 1361 | +=head1 Miscellaneous | ||
| 1362 | + | ||
| 1363 | +=head2 C<my> variables | ||
| 1364 | + | ||
| 1365 | +People are frequently surprised when this doesn't work: | ||
| 1366 | + | ||
| 1367 | + my $recipient = 'The King'; | ||
| 1368 | + my $text = fill_in_file('formletter.tmpl'); | ||
| 1369 | + | ||
| 1370 | +The text C<The King> doesn't get into the form letter. Why not? | ||
| 1371 | +Because C<$recipient> is a C<my> variable, and the whole point of | ||
| 1372 | +C<my> variables is that they're private and inaccessible except in the | ||
| 1373 | +scope in which they're declared. The template is not part of that | ||
| 1374 | +scope, so the template can't see C<$recipient>. | ||
| 1375 | + | ||
| 1376 | +If that's not the behavior you want, don't use C<my>. C<my> means a | ||
| 1377 | +private variable, and in this case you don't want the variable to be | ||
| 1378 | +private. Put the variables into package variables in some other | ||
| 1379 | +package, and use the C<PACKAGE> option to C<fill_in>: | ||
| 1380 | + | ||
| 1381 | + $Q::recipient = $recipient; | ||
| 1382 | + my $text = fill_in_file('formletter.tmpl', PACKAGE => 'Q'); | ||
| 1383 | + | ||
| 1384 | + | ||
| 1385 | +or pass the names and values in a hash with the C<HASH> option: | ||
| 1386 | + | ||
| 1387 | + my $text = fill_in_file('formletter.tmpl', HASH => { recipient => $recipient }); | ||
| 1388 | + | ||
| 1389 | +=head2 Security Matters | ||
| 1390 | + | ||
| 1391 | +All variables are evaluated in the package you specify with the | ||
| 1392 | +C<PACKAGE> option of C<fill_in>. if you use this option, and if your | ||
| 1393 | +templates don't do anything egregiously stupid, you won't have to | ||
| 1394 | +worry that evaluation of the little programs will creep out into the | ||
| 1395 | +rest of your program and wreck something. | ||
| 1396 | + | ||
| 1397 | +Nevertheless, there's really no way (except with C<Safe>) to protect | ||
| 1398 | +against a template that says | ||
| 1399 | + | ||
| 1400 | + { $Important::Secret::Security::Enable = 0; | ||
| 1401 | + # Disable security checks in this program | ||
| 1402 | + } | ||
| 1403 | + | ||
| 1404 | +or | ||
| 1405 | + | ||
| 1406 | + { $/ = "ho ho ho"; # Sabotage future uses of <FH>. | ||
| 1407 | + # $/ is always a global variable | ||
| 1408 | + } | ||
| 1409 | + | ||
| 1410 | +or even | ||
| 1411 | + | ||
| 1412 | + { system("rm -rf /") } | ||
| 1413 | + | ||
| 1414 | +so B<don't> go filling in templates unless you're sure you know what's | ||
| 1415 | +in them. If you're worried, or you can't trust the person who wrote | ||
| 1416 | +the template, use the C<SAFE> option. | ||
| 1417 | + | ||
| 1418 | +A final warning: program fragments run a small risk of accidentally | ||
| 1419 | +clobbering local variables in the C<fill_in> function itself. These | ||
| 1420 | +variables all have names that begin with C<$fi_>, so if you stay away | ||
| 1421 | +from those names you'll be safe. (Of course, if you're a real wizard | ||
| 1422 | +you can tamper with them deliberately for exciting effects; this is | ||
| 1423 | +actually how C<$OUT> works.) I can fix this, but it will make the | ||
| 1424 | +package slower to do it, so I would prefer not to. If you are worried | ||
| 1425 | +about this, send me mail and I will show you what to do about it. | ||
| 1426 | + | ||
| 1427 | +=head2 Alternative Delimiters | ||
| 1428 | + | ||
| 1429 | +Lorenzo Valdettaro pointed out that if you are using C<Text::Template> | ||
| 1430 | +to generate TeX output, the choice of braces as the program fragment | ||
| 1431 | +delimiters makes you suffer suffer suffer. Starting in version 1.20, | ||
| 1432 | +you can change the choice of delimiters to something other than curly | ||
| 1433 | +braces. | ||
| 1434 | + | ||
| 1435 | +In either the C<new()> call or the C<fill_in()> call, you can specify | ||
| 1436 | +an alternative set of delimiters with the C<DELIMITERS> option. For | ||
| 1437 | +example, if you would like code fragments to be delimited by C<[@--> | ||
| 1438 | +and C<--@]> instead of C<{> and C<}>, use | ||
| 1439 | + | ||
| 1440 | + ... DELIMITERS => [ '[@--', '--@]' ], ... | ||
| 1441 | + | ||
| 1442 | +Note that these delimiters are I<literal strings>, not regexes. (I | ||
| 1443 | +tried for regexes, but it complicates the lexical analysis too much.) | ||
| 1444 | +Note also that C<DELIMITERS> disables the special meaning of the | ||
| 1445 | +backslash, so if you want to include the delimiters in the literal | ||
| 1446 | +text of your template file, you are out of luck---it is up to you to | ||
| 1447 | +choose delimiters that do not conflict with what you are doing. The | ||
| 1448 | +delimiter strings may still appear inside of program fragments as long | ||
| 1449 | +as they nest properly. This means that if for some reason you | ||
| 1450 | +absolutely must have a program fragment that mentions one of the | ||
| 1451 | +delimiters, like this: | ||
| 1452 | + | ||
| 1453 | + [@-- | ||
| 1454 | + print "Oh no, a delimiter: --@]\n" | ||
| 1455 | + --@] | ||
| 1456 | + | ||
| 1457 | +you may be able to make it work by doing this instead: | ||
| 1458 | + | ||
| 1459 | + [@-- | ||
| 1460 | + # Fake matching delimiter in a comment: [@-- | ||
| 1461 | + print "Oh no, a delimiter: --@]\n" | ||
| 1462 | + --@] | ||
| 1463 | + | ||
| 1464 | +It may be safer to choose delimiters that begin with a newline | ||
| 1465 | +character. | ||
| 1466 | + | ||
| 1467 | +Because the parsing of templates is simplified by the absence of | ||
| 1468 | +backslash escapes, using alternative C<DELIMITERS> may speed up the | ||
| 1469 | +parsing process by 20-25%. This shows that my original choice of C<{> | ||
| 1470 | +and C<}> was very bad. | ||
| 1471 | + | ||
| 1472 | +=head2 C<PREPEND> feature and using C<strict> in templates | ||
| 1473 | + | ||
| 1474 | +Suppose you would like to use C<strict> in your templates to detect | ||
| 1475 | +undeclared variables and the like. But each code fragment is a | ||
| 1476 | +separate lexical scope, so you have to turn on C<strict> at the top of | ||
| 1477 | +each and every code fragment: | ||
| 1478 | + | ||
| 1479 | + { use strict; | ||
| 1480 | + use vars '$foo'; | ||
| 1481 | + $foo = 14; | ||
| 1482 | + ... | ||
| 1483 | + } | ||
| 1484 | + | ||
| 1485 | + ... | ||
| 1486 | + | ||
| 1487 | + { # we forgot to put `use strict' here | ||
| 1488 | + my $result = $boo + 12; # $boo is misspelled and should be $foo | ||
| 1489 | + # No error is raised on `$boo' | ||
| 1490 | + } | ||
| 1491 | + | ||
| 1492 | +Because we didn't put C<use strict> at the top of the second fragment, | ||
| 1493 | +it was only active in the first fragment, and we didn't get any | ||
| 1494 | +C<strict> checking in the second fragment. Then we mispelled C<$foo> | ||
| 1495 | +and the error wasn't caught. | ||
| 1496 | + | ||
| 1497 | +C<Text::Template> version 1.22 and higher has a new feature to make | ||
| 1498 | +this easier. You can specify that any text at all be automatically | ||
| 1499 | +added to the beginning of each program fragment. | ||
| 1500 | + | ||
| 1501 | +When you make a call to C<fill_in>, you can specify a | ||
| 1502 | + | ||
| 1503 | + PREPEND => 'some perl statements here' | ||
| 1504 | + | ||
| 1505 | +option; the statements will be prepended to each program fragment for | ||
| 1506 | +that one call only. Suppose that the C<fill_in> call included a | ||
| 1507 | + | ||
| 1508 | + PREPEND => 'use strict;' | ||
| 1509 | + | ||
| 1510 | +option, and that the template looked like this: | ||
| 1511 | + | ||
| 1512 | + { use vars '$foo'; | ||
| 1513 | + $foo = 14; | ||
| 1514 | + ... | ||
| 1515 | + } | ||
| 1516 | + | ||
| 1517 | + ... | ||
| 1518 | + | ||
| 1519 | + { my $result = $boo + 12; # $boo is misspelled and should be $foo | ||
| 1520 | + ... | ||
| 1521 | + } | ||
| 1522 | + | ||
| 1523 | +The code in the second fragment would fail, because C<$boo> has not | ||
| 1524 | +been declared. C<use strict> was implied, even though you did not | ||
| 1525 | +write it explicitly, because the C<PREPEND> option added it for you | ||
| 1526 | +automatically. | ||
| 1527 | + | ||
| 1528 | +There are two other ways to do this. At the time you create the | ||
| 1529 | +template object with C<new>, you can also supply a C<PREPEND> option, | ||
| 1530 | +in which case the statements will be prepended each time you fill in | ||
| 1531 | +that template. If the C<fill_in> call has its own C<PREPEND> option, | ||
| 1532 | +this overrides the one specified at the time you created the | ||
| 1533 | +template. Finally, you can make the class method call | ||
| 1534 | + | ||
| 1535 | + Text::Template->always_prepend('perl statements'); | ||
| 1536 | + | ||
| 1537 | +If you do this, then call calls to C<fill_in> for I<any> template will | ||
| 1538 | +attach the perl statements to the beginning of each program fragment, | ||
| 1539 | +except where overridden by C<PREPEND> options to C<new> or C<fill_in>. | ||
| 1540 | + | ||
| 1541 | +=head2 Prepending in Derived Classes | ||
| 1542 | + | ||
| 1543 | +This section is technical, and you should skip it on the first few | ||
| 1544 | +readings. | ||
| 1545 | + | ||
| 1546 | +Normally there are three places that prepended text could come from. | ||
| 1547 | +It could come from the C<PREPEND> option in the C<fill_in> call, from | ||
| 1548 | +the C<PREPEND> option in the C<new> call that created the template | ||
| 1549 | +object, or from the argument of the C<always_prepend> call. | ||
| 1550 | +C<Text::Template> looks for these three things in order and takes the | ||
| 1551 | +first one that it finds. | ||
| 1552 | + | ||
| 1553 | +In a subclass of C<Text::Template>, this last possibility is | ||
| 1554 | +ambiguous. Suppose C<S> is a subclass of C<Text::Template>. Should | ||
| 1555 | + | ||
| 1556 | + Text::Template->always_prepend(...); | ||
| 1557 | + | ||
| 1558 | +affect objects in class C<Derived>? The answer is that you can have it | ||
| 1559 | +either way. | ||
| 1560 | + | ||
| 1561 | +The C<always_prepend> value for C<Text::Template> is normally stored | ||
| 1562 | +in a hash variable named C<%GLOBAL_PREPEND> under the key | ||
| 1563 | +C<Text::Template>. When C<Text::Template> looks to see what text to | ||
| 1564 | +prepend, it first looks in the template object itself, and if not, it | ||
| 1565 | +looks in C<$GLOBAL_PREPEND{I<class>}> where I<class> is the class to | ||
| 1566 | +which the template object belongs. If it doesn't find any value, it | ||
| 1567 | +looks in C<$GLOBAL_PREPEND{'Text::Template'}>. This means that | ||
| 1568 | +objects in class C<Derived> I<will> be affected by | ||
| 1569 | + | ||
| 1570 | + Text::Template->always_prepend(...); | ||
| 1571 | + | ||
| 1572 | +I<unless> there is also a call to | ||
| 1573 | + | ||
| 1574 | + Derived->always_prepend(...); | ||
| 1575 | + | ||
| 1576 | +So when you're designing your derived class, you can arrange to have | ||
| 1577 | +your objects ignore C<Text::Template::always_prepend> calls by simply | ||
| 1578 | +putting C<Derived-E<gt>always_prepend('')> at the top of your module. | ||
| 1579 | + | ||
| 1580 | +Of course, there is also a final escape hatch: Templates support a | ||
| 1581 | +C<prepend_text> that is used to look up the appropriate text to be | ||
| 1582 | +prepended at C<fill_in> time. Your derived class can override this | ||
| 1583 | +method to get an arbitrary effect. | ||
| 1584 | + | ||
| 1585 | +=head2 JavaScript | ||
| 1586 | + | ||
| 1587 | +Jennifer D. St Clair asks: | ||
| 1588 | + | ||
| 1589 | + > Most of my pages contain JavaScript and Stylesheets. | ||
| 1590 | + > How do I change the template identifier? | ||
| 1591 | + | ||
| 1592 | +Jennifer is worried about the braces in the JavaScript being taken as | ||
| 1593 | +the delimiters of the Perl program fragments. Of course, disaster | ||
| 1594 | +will ensue when perl tries to evaluate these as if they were Perl | ||
| 1595 | +programs. The best choice is to find some unambiguous delimiter | ||
| 1596 | +strings that you can use in your template instead of curly braces, and | ||
| 1597 | +then use the C<DELIMITERS> option. However, if you can't do this for | ||
| 1598 | +some reason, there are two easy workarounds: | ||
| 1599 | + | ||
| 1600 | +1. You can put C<\> in front of C<{>, C<}>, or C<\> to remove its | ||
| 1601 | +special meaning. So, for example, instead of | ||
| 1602 | + | ||
| 1603 | + if (br== "n3") { | ||
| 1604 | + // etc. | ||
| 1605 | + } | ||
| 1606 | + | ||
| 1607 | +you can put | ||
| 1608 | + | ||
| 1609 | + if (br== "n3") \{ | ||
| 1610 | + // etc. | ||
| 1611 | + \} | ||
| 1612 | + | ||
| 1613 | +and it'll come out of the template engine the way you want. | ||
| 1614 | + | ||
| 1615 | +But here is another method that is probably better. To see how it | ||
| 1616 | +works, first consider what happens if you put this into a template: | ||
| 1617 | + | ||
| 1618 | + { 'foo' } | ||
| 1619 | + | ||
| 1620 | +Since it's in braces, it gets evaluated, and obviously, this is going | ||
| 1621 | +to turn into | ||
| 1622 | + | ||
| 1623 | + foo | ||
| 1624 | + | ||
| 1625 | +So now here's the trick: In Perl, C<q{...}> is the same as C<'...'>. | ||
| 1626 | +So if we wrote | ||
| 1627 | + | ||
| 1628 | + {q{foo}} | ||
| 1629 | + | ||
| 1630 | +it would turn into | ||
| 1631 | + | ||
| 1632 | + foo | ||
| 1633 | + | ||
| 1634 | +So for your JavaScript, just write | ||
| 1635 | + | ||
| 1636 | + {q{if (br== "n3") { | ||
| 1637 | + // etc. | ||
| 1638 | + }} | ||
| 1639 | + } | ||
| 1640 | + | ||
| 1641 | +and it'll come out as | ||
| 1642 | + | ||
| 1643 | + if (br== "n3") { | ||
| 1644 | + // etc. | ||
| 1645 | + } | ||
| 1646 | + | ||
| 1647 | +which is what you want. | ||
| 1648 | + | ||
| 1649 | + | ||
| 1650 | +=head2 Shut Up! | ||
| 1651 | + | ||
| 1652 | +People sometimes try to put an initialization section at the top of | ||
| 1653 | +their templates, like this: | ||
| 1654 | + | ||
| 1655 | + { ... | ||
| 1656 | + $var = 17; | ||
| 1657 | + } | ||
| 1658 | + | ||
| 1659 | +Then they complain because there is a C<17> at the top of the output | ||
| 1660 | +that they didn't want to have there. | ||
| 1661 | + | ||
| 1662 | +Remember that a program fragment is replaced with its own return | ||
| 1663 | +value, and that in Perl the return value of a code block is the value | ||
| 1664 | +of the last expression that was evaluated, which in this case is 17. | ||
| 1665 | +If it didn't do that, you wouldn't be able to write C<{$recipient}> | ||
| 1666 | +and have the recipient filled in. | ||
| 1667 | + | ||
| 1668 | +To prevent the 17 from appearing in the output is very simple: | ||
| 1669 | + | ||
| 1670 | + { ... | ||
| 1671 | + $var = 17; | ||
| 1672 | + ''; | ||
| 1673 | + } | ||
| 1674 | + | ||
| 1675 | +Now the last expression evaluated yields the empty string, which is | ||
| 1676 | +invisible. If you don't like the way this looks, use | ||
| 1677 | + | ||
| 1678 | + { ... | ||
| 1679 | + $var = 17; | ||
| 1680 | + ($SILENTLY); | ||
| 1681 | + } | ||
| 1682 | + | ||
| 1683 | +instead. Presumably, C<$SILENTLY> has no value, so nothing will be | ||
| 1684 | +interpolated. This is what is known as a `trick'. | ||
| 1685 | + | ||
| 1686 | +=head2 Compatibility | ||
| 1687 | + | ||
| 1688 | +Every effort has been made to make this module compatible with older | ||
| 1689 | +versions. The only known exceptions follow: | ||
| 1690 | + | ||
| 1691 | +The output format of the default C<BROKEN> subroutine has changed | ||
| 1692 | +twice, most recently between versions 1.31 and 1.40. | ||
| 1693 | + | ||
| 1694 | +Starting in version 1.10, the C<$OUT> variable is arrogated for a | ||
| 1695 | +special meaning. If you had templates before version 1.10 that | ||
| 1696 | +happened to use a variable named C<$OUT>, you will have to change them | ||
| 1697 | +to use some other variable or all sorts of strangeness will result. | ||
| 1698 | + | ||
| 1699 | +Between versions 0.1b and 1.00 the behavior of the \ metacharacter | ||
| 1700 | +changed. In 0.1b, \\ was special everywhere, and the template | ||
| 1701 | +processor always replaced it with a single backslash before passing | ||
| 1702 | +the code to Perl for evaluation. The rule now is more complicated but | ||
| 1703 | +probably more convenient. See the section on backslash processing, | ||
| 1704 | +below, for a full discussion. | ||
| 1705 | + | ||
| 1706 | +=head2 Backslash Processing | ||
| 1707 | + | ||
| 1708 | +In C<Text::Template> beta versions, the backslash was special whenever | ||
| 1709 | +it appeared before a brace or another backslash. That meant that | ||
| 1710 | +while C<{"\n"}> did indeed generate a newline, C<{"\\"}> did not | ||
| 1711 | +generate a backslash, because the code passed to Perl for evaluation | ||
| 1712 | +was C<"\"> which is a syntax error. If you wanted a backslash, you | ||
| 1713 | +would have had to write C<{"\\\\"}>. | ||
| 1714 | + | ||
| 1715 | +In C<Text::Template> versions 1.00 through 1.10, there was a bug: | ||
| 1716 | +Backslash was special everywhere. In these versions, C<{"\n"}> | ||
| 1717 | +generated the letter C<n>. | ||
| 1718 | + | ||
| 1719 | +The bug has been corrected in version 1.11, but I did not go back to | ||
| 1720 | +exactly the old rule, because I did not like the idea of having to | ||
| 1721 | +write C<{"\\\\"}> to get one backslash. The rule is now more | ||
| 1722 | +complicated to remember, but probably easier to use. The rule is now: | ||
| 1723 | +Backslashes are always passed to Perl unchanged I<unless> they occur | ||
| 1724 | +as part of a sequence like C<\\\\\\{> or C<\\\\\\}>. In these | ||
| 1725 | +contexts, they are special; C<\\> is replaced with C<\>, and C<\{> and | ||
| 1726 | +C<\}> signal a literal brace. | ||
| 1727 | + | ||
| 1728 | +Examples: | ||
| 1729 | + | ||
| 1730 | + \{ foo \} | ||
| 1731 | + | ||
| 1732 | +is I<not> evaluated, because the C<\> before the braces signals that | ||
| 1733 | +they should be taken literally. The result in the output looks like this: | ||
| 1734 | + | ||
| 1735 | + { foo } | ||
| 1736 | + | ||
| 1737 | + | ||
| 1738 | +This is a syntax error: | ||
| 1739 | + | ||
| 1740 | + { "foo}" } | ||
| 1741 | + | ||
| 1742 | +because C<Text::Template> thinks that the code ends at the first C<}>, | ||
| 1743 | +and then gets upset when it sees the second one. To make this work | ||
| 1744 | +correctly, use | ||
| 1745 | + | ||
| 1746 | + { "foo\}" } | ||
| 1747 | + | ||
| 1748 | +This passes C<"foo}"> to Perl for evaluation. Note there's no C<\> in | ||
| 1749 | +the evaluated code. If you really want a C<\> in the evaluated code, | ||
| 1750 | +use | ||
| 1751 | + | ||
| 1752 | + { "foo\\\}" } | ||
| 1753 | + | ||
| 1754 | +This passes C<"foo\}"> to Perl for evaluation. | ||
| 1755 | + | ||
| 1756 | +Starting with C<Text::Template> version 1.20, backslash processing is | ||
| 1757 | +disabled if you use the C<DELIMITERS> option to specify alternative | ||
| 1758 | +delimiter strings. | ||
| 1759 | + | ||
| 1760 | +=head2 A short note about C<$Text::Template::ERROR> | ||
| 1761 | + | ||
| 1762 | +In the past some people have fretted about `violating the package | ||
| 1763 | +boundary' by examining a variable inside the C<Text::Template> | ||
| 1764 | +package. Don't feel this way. C<$Text::Template::ERROR> is part of | ||
| 1765 | +the published, official interface to this package. It is perfectly OK | ||
| 1766 | +to inspect this variable. The interface is not going to change. | ||
| 1767 | + | ||
| 1768 | +If it really, really bothers you, you can import a function called | ||
| 1769 | +C<TTerror> that returns the current value of the C<$ERROR> variable. | ||
| 1770 | +So you can say: | ||
| 1771 | + | ||
| 1772 | + use Text::Template 'TTerror'; | ||
| 1773 | + | ||
| 1774 | + my $template = new Text::Template (SOURCE => $filename); | ||
| 1775 | + unless ($template) { | ||
| 1776 | + my $err = TTerror; | ||
| 1777 | + die "Couldn't make template: $err; aborting"; | ||
| 1778 | + } | ||
| 1779 | + | ||
| 1780 | +I don't see what benefit this has over just doing this: | ||
| 1781 | + | ||
| 1782 | + use Text::Template; | ||
| 1783 | + | ||
| 1784 | + my $template = new Text::Template (SOURCE => $filename) | ||
| 1785 | + or die "Couldn't make template: $Text::Template::ERROR; aborting"; | ||
| 1786 | + | ||
| 1787 | +But if it makes you happy to do it that way, go ahead. | ||
| 1788 | + | ||
| 1789 | +=head2 Sticky Widgets in Template Files | ||
| 1790 | + | ||
| 1791 | +The C<CGI> module provides functions for `sticky widgets', which are | ||
| 1792 | +form input controls that retain their values from one page to the | ||
| 1793 | +next. Sometimes people want to know how to include these widgets | ||
| 1794 | +into their template output. | ||
| 1795 | + | ||
| 1796 | +It's totally straightforward. Just call the C<CGI> functions from | ||
| 1797 | +inside the template: | ||
| 1798 | + | ||
| 1799 | + { $q->checkbox_group(NAME => 'toppings', | ||
| 1800 | + LINEBREAK => true, | ||
| 1801 | + COLUMNS => 3, | ||
| 1802 | + VALUES => \@toppings, | ||
| 1803 | + ); | ||
| 1804 | + } | ||
| 1805 | + | ||
| 1806 | +=head2 Automatic preprocessing of program fragments | ||
| 1807 | + | ||
| 1808 | +It may be useful to preprocess the program fragments before they are | ||
| 1809 | +evaluated. See C<Text::Template::Preprocess> for more details. | ||
| 1810 | + | ||
| 1811 | +=head2 Automatic postprocessing of template hunks | ||
| 1812 | + | ||
| 1813 | +It may be useful to process hunks of output before they are appended to | ||
| 1814 | +the result text. For this, subclass and replace the C<append_text_to_result> | ||
| 1815 | +method. It is passed a list of pairs with these entries: | ||
| 1816 | + | ||
| 1817 | + handle - a filehandle to which to print the desired output | ||
| 1818 | + out - a ref to a string to which to append, to use if handle is not given | ||
| 1819 | + text - the text that will be appended | ||
| 1820 | + type - where the text came from: TEXT for literal text, PROG for code | ||

| 1959 | + | ||
| 1960 | +C<my> variables in C<fill_in> are still susceptible to being clobbered | ||
| 1961 | +by template evaluation. They all begin with C<fi_>, so avoid those | ||
| 1962 | +names in your templates. | ||
| 1963 | + | ||
| 1964 | +The line number information will be wrong if the template's lines are | ||
| 1965 | +not terminated by C<"\n">. You should let me know if this is a | ||
| 1966 | +problem. If you do, I will fix it. | ||
| 1967 | + | ||
| 1968 | +The C<$OUT> variable has a special meaning in templates, so you cannot | ||
| 1969 | +use it as if it were a regular variable. | ||
| 1970 | + | ||
| 1971 | +There are not quite enough tests in the test suite. | ||

| 34 | + | ||
| 35 | +=head1 VERSION | ||
| 36 | + | ||
| 37 | +This file documents C<Text::Template::Preprocess> version B<1.46> | ||
| 38 | + | ||
| 39 | +=head1 SYNOPSIS | ||
| 40 | + | ||
| 41 | + use Text::Template::Preprocess; | ||
| 42 | + | ||
| 43 | + my $t = Text::Template::Preprocess->new(...); # identical to Text::Template | ||
| 44 | + | ||
| 45 | + # Fill in template, but preprocess each code fragment with pp(). | ||
| 46 | + my $result = $t->fill_in(..., PREPROCESSOR => \&pp); | ||
| 47 | + | ||
| 48 | + my $old_pp = $t->preprocessor(\&new_pp); | ||
| 49 | + | ||
| 50 | +=head1 DESCRIPTION | ||
| 51 | + | ||
| 52 | +C<Text::Template::Preprocess> provides a new C<PREPROCESSOR> option to | ||
| 53 | +C<fill_in>. If the C<PREPROCESSOR> option is supplied, it must be a | ||
| 54 | +reference to a preprocessor subroutine. When filling out a template, | ||
| 55 | +C<Text::Template::Preprocessor> will use this subroutine to preprocess | ||
| 56 | +the program fragment prior to evaluating the code. | ||
| 57 | + | ||
| 58 | +The preprocessor subroutine will be called repeatedly, once for each | ||
| 59 | +program fragment. The program fragment will be in C<$_>. The | ||
| 60 | +subroutine should modify the contents of C<$_> and return. | ||
| 61 | +C<Text::Template::Preprocess> will then execute contents of C<$_> and | ||
| 62 | +insert the result into the appropriate part of the template. | ||
| 63 | + | ||
| 64 | +C<Text::Template::Preprocess> objects also support a utility method, | ||
| 65 | +C<preprocessor()>, which sets a new preprocessor for the object. This | ||
| 66 | +preprocessor is used for all subsequent calls to C<fill_in> except | ||
| 67 | +where overridden by an explicit C<PREPROCESSOR> option. | ||
| 68 | +C<preprocessor()> returns the previous default preprocessor function, | ||
| 69 | +or undefined if there wasn't one. When invoked with no arguments, | ||
| 70 | +C<preprocessor()> returns the object's current default preprocessor | ||
| 71 | +function without changing it. | ||
| 72 | + | ||
| 73 | +In all other respects, C<Text::Template::Preprocess> is identical to | ||
| 74 | +C<Text::Template>. | ||
| 75 | + | ||
| 76 | +=head1 WHY? | ||
| 77 | + | ||
| 78 | +One possible purpose: If your files contain a lot of JavaScript, like | ||
| 79 | +this: | ||
| 80 | + | ||
| 81 | + | ||
| 82 | + Plain text here... | ||
| 83 | + { perl code } | ||
| 84 | + <script language=JavaScript> | ||
| 85 | + if (br== "n3") { | ||
| 86 | + // etc. | ||
| 87 | + } | ||
| 88 | + </script> | ||
| 89 | + { more perl code } | ||
| 90 | + More plain text... | ||
| 91 | + | ||
| 92 | +You don't want C<Text::Template> to confuse the curly braces in the | ||
| 93 | +JavaScript program with executable Perl code. One strategy: | ||
| 94 | + | ||
| 95 | + sub quote_scripts { | ||
| 96 | + s(<script(.*?)</script>)(q{$1})gsi; | ||
| 97 | + } | ||
| 98 | + | ||
| 99 | +Then use C<PREPROCESSOR =E<gt> \"e_scripts>. This will transform | ||
| 100 | + | ||
