NAME¶
Text::MicroMason::DoubleQuote - Minimalist Interpolation Engine
SYNOPSIS¶
Instead of using this class directly, pass its name to be mixed in:
use Text::MicroMason;
my $mason = Text::MicroMason::Base->new( -DoubleQuote );
Templates can be written using Perl's double-quote interpolation syntax:
$coderef = $mason->compile( text => 'Hello $ARGS{name}!' );
print $coderef->( name => 'World' );
DESCRIPTION¶
Text::MicroMason::DoubleQuote uses Perl's double-quoting interpolation as a
minimalist syntax for templating.
Of course you don't need this module for simple cases of interpolation, but if
you're already using the MicroMason framework to process template files from
disk, this module should allow you to make your simplest templates run even
faster.
To embed values other than simple scalars in a double-quoted expression you can
use the ${ expr } syntax. For example, you can interpolate a function call
with "${ \( time() ) }" or "@{[mysub(1,2,3)]}". As noted
in perldaq4, "this is fraught with quoting and readability problems, but
it is possible." In particular, this can quickly become a mess once you
start adding loops or conditionals. If you do find yourself making use of this
feature, please consider switching to one of the more powerful template
syntaxes like Text::MicroMason::HTMLMason.
