I'm no Template::Toolkit expert and and it's not clear to me how you wanna use the constants, since you gave no example°.
I just skimmed thru the docs and found two possible approaches:
- Template Variables
my $tt = Template->new({
VARIABLES => {
version => 3.14,
release => 'Sahara',
},
});
my $vars = {
serial_no => 271828,
};
$tt->process('myfile', $vars);
- Compile Time Constant Folding
my $tt = Template->new({
CONSTANTS => {
version => 3.14,
release => 'skyrocket',
col => {
back => '#ffffff',
fore => '#000000',
},
myobj => My::Object->new(),
mysub => sub { ... },
joint => ', ',
},
});
Constants in Perl are just implemented as subs with empty prototype
Hence you could write a sub current_constants() which is introspecting your current package and return a list of pairs which maps each constant to it's name. Another way could be to check the exporter settings of the defining package.
my $tt = Template->new({
CONSTANTS => { current_constants() },
});
Once this works you should also be able to write a TT plugin to do this automatically.
Question That's what you want?

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).
