You already have a couple of options that you can use, but CGI::Application::Plugin::TT gives you some extra possibilities as well. You can create a 'tt_pre_process' method in your CGI::Application module, which will be called automatically everytime you call $self->tt_process. This is useful for adding extra global variables that you want to appear in every template you parse in your application.
sub tt_pre_process {
my ($self, $file, $vars) = @_;
$vars->{user} = $ENV{REMOTE_USER};
$vars->{menu} = [
{ text => 'Foo',
link => 'foo.html', },
{ text => 'Bar',
link => 'Bar.html', },
];
return;
}
Alternatively, you can setup a tt_pre_process method as a callback (requires CGI::Application 4.0 or greater).
__PACKAGE__->add_callback('tt_pre_process', sub {
my ($self, $file, $vars) = @_;
$vars->{user} = $ENV{REMOTE_USER};
$vars->{menu} = [
{ text => 'Foo',
link => 'foo.html', },
{ text => 'Bar',
link => 'Bar.html', },
];
return;
});

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
