Description
Text::Template let's you store templates in separate
files.
- the templates can be anything, typically pure text
(like email message templates) or HTML.
- the templates can include Perl code, between 2
matching { } (you can change the delimiter if you
want to.
- you can pass variables to the template, usually in
a separate package (my variables won't be
passed to the template)
- you can trap errors when filling the standard with
a custom handler.
Why use Text::Template
Warning: Text::Template is the only templating module I
use, so I cannot compare it with other similar modules.
- it works just fine, I never did anything too fancy
with it, but I never found a bug in it
- it is quite powerful: you can change the delimiters,
evaluate the template in a safe environment, add
custom code (like common subroutines) to existing
templates...
- the documentation is very good
Why NOT use Text::Template
- you prefer an other module
Personal Notes
Text::Template is a no-brainer, it is powerful enough to
handle most needs and won't cause you any trouble. Get it
