Defining a variable won't give you the filter. Also, pointing to the plugin
won't give you the filter either.
Try using the FILTERS config option and creating a dynamic filter manually.
You'll need to do this for each filter you want to add.
Here is a possible example. It may need work, but should get you started:
========================================
# Define this globally so we don't have to recreate it over and over.
# Probably only need to do this if it's used every time.
my $num_formatter = new Number::Format( thousands_sep => ',', decimal_point =>
'.', int_curr_symbol => '', decimal_digits => '2', decimal_fill => 't' );
my $template_config = {
FILTERS => {
'format_number' => [sub {
my ($context, @args) = @_;
return sub {
my $value = shift;
return $num_formatter->format_number($value, @args);
};
}, 1]
}
};
my $template = Template->new($template_config);
========================================
Hope that helps ya. Basically you can get rid of the plugin and just create the
filters yourself.
