.SH "NAME"
Template::Stash::XS \- High\-speed variable stash written in C
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 2
\&    use Template;
\&    use Template::Stash::XS;
\&
\&    my $stash = Template::Stash::XS\->new(\e%vars);
\&    my $tt2   = Template\->new({ STASH => $stash });
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The Template:Stash::XS module is an implementation of the
Template::Stash written in C.  The \*(L"\s-1XS\*(R"\s0 in the name refers to Perl's
\&\s-1XS\s0 extension system for interfacing Perl to C code.  It works just
like the regular Perl implementation of Template::Stash but runs about
twice as fast.
.PP
The easiest way to use the \s-1XS\s0 stash is to configure the Template
Toolkit to use it by default.  You can do this at installation time
(when you run \f(CW\*(C`perl Makefile.PL\*(C'\fR) by answering 'y' to the questions:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    Do you want to build the XS Stash module?      y
\&    Do you want to use the XS Stash by default?    y
.Ve
.PP
See the \fI\s-1INSTALL\s0\fR file distributed with the Template Toolkit for further
details on installation.
.PP
If you don't elect to use the \s-1XS\s0 stash by default then you should use
the \f(CW\*(C`STASH\*(C'\fR configuration item when you create a new Template object.
This should reference an \s-1XS\s0 stash object that you have created
manually.
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    use Template;
\&    use Template::Stash::XS;
\&
\&    my $stash = Template::Stash::XS\->new(\e%vars);
\&    my $tt2   = Template\->new({ STASH => $stash });
.Ve
.PP
Alternately, you can set the \f(CW$Template::Config::STASH\fR package
variable like so:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    use Template;
\&    use Template::Config;
\&
\&    $Template::Config::STASH = \*(AqTemplate::Stash::XS\*(Aq;
\&
\&    my $tt2 = Template\->new();
.Ve
.PP
The \s-1XS\s0 stash will then be automatically used.
.PP
If you want to use the \s-1XS\s0 stash by default and don't want to
re-install the Template Toolkit, then you can manually modify the
\&\f(CW\*(C`Template/Config.pm\*(C'\fR module near line 42 to read:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $STASH = \*(AqTemplate::Stash::XS\*(Aq;
