Hi Chris,
You can pass the functions by reference as template variables.
$vars = {
foo => \&Your::App::foo,
bar => \&Your::App::bar,
};
$tt->process($template, $vars);
You can also define them up-front when you create the Template object
to save having the pass them over every time you do a process().
my $tt = Template->new({
VARIABLES => {
...
}
});
Or you can create your own Template subclass which adds them in via the
new() method.
package Your::Template;
use base 'Template';
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $config = @_ && ref $_[0] eq 'HASH' ? shift : { @_ };
$config->{ VARIABLES } = {
...
};
return $class->SUPER::new($config);
}
Then you can use Your::Template module instead of Template and the variables
will be there by default.
