My first post to this list and it's question. Sorry. I'll try and provide more meaningful content sometime in the future :)
Anyway, I've written this module http://thegestalt.org/simon/perl/Text-Chump.html (available from http://thegestalt.org/simon/perl/Text-Chump-0.8.tar.gz) and an accompanying TT filter http://thegestalt.org/simon/perl/Template-Plugin-Chump.html (http://thegestalt.org/simon/perl/Template-Plugin-Chump-0.8.tar.gz) Which is all fine and dandy (especially once I'd found the Template::Plugin::Filter base) except for the fact that I can't think of a decent way to provide access to T:C's install() and new_type() methods. There are a few options I've thought of - 1. Allowing something like this [% USE Chump ($c) %] where c is a Text::Chump object passed in via the params hash and which has the handlers/new types installed already. This isn't ideal. 2. Installing a new scalar op or something from the plugin $Template::Stash::SCALAR_OPS->{'install_chump_handler'}; This is, I suspect, a bit naughty. 3. Passing the methods via the option hash [% USE Chump({ install_links => $sub, install_links_re=>'\d+'}) %] which is a bit crufty. Especially when it comes to installing new types [% FILTER chump ({ new_type_equal => '=', new_type_equal_sub => $sub, new_type_equal_re => 'ma+tch'}) %] but not entirely unworkable. What I'd really like to do is something like [% USE Chump %] [% Chump.new_type('equal','=', $sub, 'ma+tch') %] [ var FILTER chump %] Is that possible? In anticipation, Simon *waves* shyly at the TT people -- the test for truth is still quicker than addition _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
