NAME¶
Template::Plugin::Class - allow calling of class methods on arbitrary classes
SYNOPSIS¶
[% USE foo = Class('Foo') %]
[% foo.bar %]
DESCRIPTION¶
Template::Plugin::Class allows you to call class methods on arbitrary classes.
One use for this is in Class::DBI style applications, where you may do
somthing like this:
[% USE cd = Class('Music::CD') %]
[% FOREACH disc = cd.retrieve_all %]
[% disc.artist %] - [% disc.title %]
[% END %]
CAVEATS¶
You won't be able to directly call "AUTOLOAD" or "DESTROY"
methods on the remote class. This shouldn't be a huge hardship.
BUGS¶
Apart from the mentioned caveat, none currently known. If you find any please
contact the author.
