Processing Templates (Practical mod

D.5. Processing Templates

In addition to the ttree script mentioned earlier, tpage is distributed with the Template Toolkit for no-frills simple template processing.

You might use it like this:

panic% tpage myfile.tt2 > myfile.html

or:

panic% tpage src/myfile.html > dest/myfile.html

It is extremely useful as a command-line tool to process a template without having to write any Perl code. However, for most uses, be it an offline script, CGI application, or mod_perl handler, you'll want to hook the Template module into your Perl code.

To see how we would go about this, let us first take one of our earlier examples and save it in a file called example.html (see Example D-1).

Example D-1. example1/example.html
