=head1 NAME

HTML::Template - Perl module to use HTML-like templating language

=head1 SYNOPSIS

First you make a template - this is just a normal HTML file with a few
extra tags, the simplest being C<< <TMPL_VAR> >>

For example, test.tmpl:

<html>
    <head><title>Test Template</title></head>
    <body>
    My Home Directory is <TMPL_VAR NAME=HOME>
    <p>
    My Path is set to <TMPL_VAR NAME=PATH>
    </body>
    </html>

Now you can use it in a small CGI program:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
    use HTML::Template;

# open the html template
    my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'test.tmpl');

# fill in some parameters
    $template->param(HOME => $ENV{HOME});
    $template->param(PATH => $ENV{PATH});

# send the obligatory Content-Type and print the template output
    print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n", $template->output;

If all is well in the universe this should show something like this in
your browser when visiting the CGI:

My Home Directory is /home/some/directory
    My Path is set to /bin;/usr/bin

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module attempts to make using HTML templates simple and natural.
It extends standard HTML with a few new HTML-esque tags - C<< <TMPL_VAR> >> 
C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >>, C<< <TMPL_INCLUDE> >>, C<< <TMPL_IF> >>, C<< <TMPL_ELSE> >> 
and C<< <TMPL_UNLESS> >>.  The file written with HTML and these new tags
is called a template.  It is usually saved separate from your script -
possibly even created by someone else!  Using this module you fill in the
values for the variables, loops and branches declared in the template.
This allows you to separate design - the HTML - from the data, which
you generate in the Perl script.

This module is licensed under the same terms as Perl. See the LICENSE
section below for more details.

=head1 TUTORIAL

If you're new to HTML::Template, I suggest you start with the
introductory article available on Perl Monks:

http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=65642

=head1 FAQ

Please see L<HTML::Template::FAQ>

=head1 MOTIVATION

It is true that there are a number of packages out there to do HTML
templates.  On the one hand you have things like L<HTML::Embperl> which
allows you freely mix Perl with HTML.  On the other hand lie home-grown
variable substitution solutions.  Hopefully the module can find a place
between the two.

One advantage of this module over a full L<HTML::Embperl>-esque solution
is that it enforces an important divide - design and programming.
By limiting the programmer to just using simple variables and loops
in the HTML, the template remains accessible to designers and other
non-perl people.  The use of HTML-esque syntax goes further to make the
format understandable to others.  In the future this similarity could be
used to extend existing HTML editors/analyzers to support HTML::Template.

An advantage of this module over home-grown tag-replacement schemes is
the support for loops.  In my work I am often called on to produce
tables of data in html.  Producing them using simplistic HTML
templates results in programs containing lots of HTML since the HTML
itself cannot represent loops.  The introduction of loop statements in
the HTML simplifies this situation considerably.  The designer can
layout a single row and the programmer can fill it in as many times as
necessary - all they must agree on is the parameter names.

For all that, I think the best thing about this module is that it does
just one thing and it does it quickly and carefully.  It doesn't try
to replace Perl and HTML, it just augments them to interact a little
better.  And it's pretty fast.

=head1 THE TAGS

=head2 TMPL_VAR

<TMPL_VAR NAME="PARAMETER_NAME">

The C<< <TMPL_VAR> >> tag is very simple.  For each C<< <TMPL_VAR> >>
tag in the template you call:

$template->param(PARAMETER_NAME => "VALUE")

When the template is output the C<< <TMPL_VAR>  >> is replaced with the
VALUE text you specified.  If you don't set a parameter it just gets
skipped in the output.

You can also specify the value of the parameter as a code reference in order
to have "lazy" variables. These sub routines will only be referenced if the
variables are used. See L<LAZY VALUES> for more information.

=head3 Attributes

The following "attributes" can also be specified in template var tags:

=over

=item * escape

This allows you to escape the value before it's put into the output.

This is useful when you want to use a TMPL_VAR in a context where those characters would
cause trouble. For example:

If you called C<param()> with a value like C<sam"my> you'll get in trouble
with HTML's idea of a double-quote.  On the other hand, if you use
C<escape=html>, like this:

You'll get what you wanted no matter what value happens to be passed
in for param.

The following escape values are supported:

=over

=item * html

Replaces the following characters with their HTML entity equivalent:
C<&>, C<">, C<'>, C<< < >>, C<< > >>

=item * js

Escapes (with a backslash) the following characters: C<\>, C<'>, C<">,
C<\n>, C<\r>

=item * url

URL escapes any ASCII characters except for letters, numbers, C<_>, C<.> and C<->.

=item * none

Performs no escaping. This is the default, but it's useful to be able to explicitly
turn off escaping if you are using the C<default_escape> option.

=back

=item * default

With this attribute you can assign a default value to a variable.
For example, this will output "the devil gave me a taco" if the C<who>
variable is not set.

<TMPL_VAR WHO DEFAULT="the devil"> gave me a taco.

=back

=head2 TMPL_LOOP

<TMPL_LOOP NAME="LOOP_NAME"> ... </TMPL_LOOP>

The C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >> tag is a bit more complicated than C<< <TMPL_VAR> >>.  
The C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >> tag allows you to delimit a section of text and
give it a name.  Inside this named loop you place C<< <TMPL_VAR> >>s.
Now you pass to C<param()> a list (an array ref) of parameter assignments
(hash refs) for this loop.  The loop iterates over the list and produces
output from the text block for each pass.  Unset parameters are skipped.
Here's an example:

In the template:

<TMPL_LOOP NAME=EMPLOYEE_INFO>
      Name: <TMPL_VAR NAME=NAME> <br>
      Job:  <TMPL_VAR NAME=JOB>  <p>
   </TMPL_LOOP>

In your Perl code:

$template->param(
        EMPLOYEE_INFO => [{name => 'Sam', job => 'programmer'}, {name => 'Steve', job => 'soda jerk'}]
    );
    print $template->output();
  
The output is:

Name: Sam
    Job: programmer

Name: Steve
    Job: soda jerk

As you can see above the C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >> takes a list of variable
assignments and then iterates over the loop body producing output.

Often you'll want to generate a C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >>'s contents
programmatically.  Here's an example of how this can be done (many other
ways are possible!):

# a couple of arrays of data to put in a loop:
    my @words     = qw(I Am Cool);
    my @numbers   = qw(1 2 3);
    my @loop_data = ();              # initialize an array to hold your loop

while (@words and @numbers) {
        my %row_data;      # get a fresh hash for the row data

# fill in this row
        $row_data{WORD}   = shift @words;
        $row_data{NUMBER} = shift @numbers;

# the crucial step - push a reference to this row into the loop!
        push(@loop_data, \%row_data);
    }

# finally, assign the loop data to the loop param, again with a reference:
    $template->param(THIS_LOOP => \@loop_data);

The above example would work with a template like:

<TMPL_LOOP NAME="THIS_LOOP">
      Word: <TMPL_VAR NAME="WORD">     
      Number: <TMPL_VAR NAME="NUMBER">
 
    </TMPL_LOOP>

It would produce output like:

Word: I
    Number: 1

Word: Am
    Number: 2

Word: Cool
    Number: 3

C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >>s within C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >>s are fine and work as you
would expect.  If the syntax for the C<param()> call has you stumped,
here's an example of a param call with one nested loop:

$template->param(
        LOOP => [
            {
                name      => 'Bobby',
                nicknames => [{name => 'the big bad wolf'}, {name => 'He-Man'}],
            },
        ],
    );

Basically, each C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >> gets an array reference.  Inside the
array are any number of hash references.  These hashes contain the
name=>value pairs for a single pass over the loop template.

Inside a C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >>, the only variables that are usable are the
ones from the C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >>.  The variables in the outer blocks
are not visible within a template loop.  For the computer-science geeks
among you, a C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >> introduces a new scope much like a perl
subroutine call.  If you want your variables to be global you can use
C<global_vars> option to C<new()> described below.

=head2 TMPL_INCLUDE

<TMPL_INCLUDE NAME="filename.tmpl">

This tag includes a template directly into the current template at
the point where the tag is found.  The included template contents are
used exactly as if its contents were physically included in the master
template.

The file specified can be an absolute path (beginning with a '/' under
Unix, for example).  If it isn't absolute, the path to the enclosing
file is tried first.  After that the path in the environment variable
C<HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT> is tried, if it exists.  Next, the "path" option
is consulted, first as-is and then with C<HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT> prepended
if available.  As a final attempt, the filename is passed to C<open()>
directly.  See below for more information on C<HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT>
and the C<path> option to C<new()>.

As a protection against infinitely recursive includes, an arbitrary
limit of 10 levels deep is imposed.  You can alter this limit with the
C<max_includes> option.  See the entry for the C<max_includes> option
below for more details.

=head2 TMPL_IF

<TMPL_IF NAME="PARAMETER_NAME"> ... </TMPL_IF>

The C<< <TMPL_IF> >> tag allows you to include or not include a block
of the template based on the value of a given parameter name.  If the
parameter is given a value that is true for Perl - like '1' - then the
block is included in the output.  If it is not defined, or given a false
value - like '0' - then it is skipped.  The parameters are specified
the same way as with C<< <TMPL_VAR> >>.

Example Template:

<TMPL_IF NAME="BOOL">
      Some text that only gets displayed if BOOL is true!
    </TMPL_IF>

Now if you call C<< $template->param(BOOL => 1) >> then the above block
will be included by output.

C<< <TMPL_IF> </TMPL_IF> >> blocks can include any valid HTML::Template
construct - C<VAR>s and C<LOOP>s and other C<IF>/C<ELSE> blocks.  Note,
however, that intersecting a C<< <TMPL_IF> >> and a C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >>
is invalid.

Not going to work:
    <TMPL_IF BOOL>
      <TMPL_LOOP SOME_LOOP>
    </TMPL_IF>
      </TMPL_LOOP>

If the name of a C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >> is used in a C<< <TMPL_IF> >>,
the C<IF> block will output if the loop has at least one row.  Example:

<TMPL_IF LOOP_ONE>
      This will output if the loop is not empty.
    </TMPL_IF>

<TMPL_LOOP LOOP_ONE>
      ....
    </TMPL_LOOP>

WARNING: Much of the benefit of HTML::Template is in decoupling your
Perl and HTML.  If you introduce numerous cases where you have
C<TMPL_IF>s and matching Perl C<if>s, you will create a maintenance
problem in keeping the two synchronized.  I suggest you adopt the
practice of only using C<TMPL_IF> if you can do so without requiring a
matching C<if> in your Perl code.

=head2 TMPL_ELSE

<TMPL_IF NAME="PARAMETER_NAME"> ... <TMPL_ELSE> ... </TMPL_IF>

You can include an alternate block in your C<< <TMPL_IF> >> block by using
C<< <TMPL_ELSE> >>.  NOTE: You still end the block with C<< </TMPL_IF> >>, 
not C<< </TMPL_ELSE> >>!
 
   Example:
    <TMPL_IF BOOL>
      Some text that is included only if BOOL is true
    <TMPL_ELSE>
      Some text that is included only if BOOL is false
    </TMPL_IF>

=head2 TMPL_UNLESS

<TMPL_UNLESS NAME="PARAMETER_NAME"> ... </TMPL_UNLESS>

This tag is the opposite of C<< <TMPL_IF> >>.  The block is output if the
C<PARAMETER_NAME> is set false or not defined.  You can use
C<< <TMPL_ELSE> >> with C<< <TMPL_UNLESS> >> just as you can with C<< <TMPL_IF> >>.

Example:
    <TMPL_UNLESS BOOL>
      Some text that is output only if BOOL is FALSE.
    <TMPL_ELSE>
      Some text that is output only if BOOL is TRUE.
    </TMPL_UNLESS>

If the name of a C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >> is used in a C<< <TMPL_UNLESS> >>,
the C<< <UNLESS> >> block output if the loop has zero rows.

<TMPL_UNLESS LOOP_ONE>
      This will output if the loop is empty.
    </TMPL_UNLESS>

<TMPL_LOOP LOOP_ONE>
      ....
    </TMPL_LOOP>

=head2 NOTES

HTML::Template's tags are meant to mimic normal HTML tags.  However,
they are allowed to "break the rules".  Something like:

is not really valid HTML, but it is a perfectly valid use and will work
as planned.

The C<NAME=> in the tag is optional, although for extensibility's sake I
recommend using it.  Example - C<< <TMPL_LOOP LOOP_NAME> >> is acceptable.

If you're a fanatic about valid HTML and would like your templates
to conform to valid HTML syntax, you may optionally type template tags
in the form of HTML comments. This may be of use to HTML authors who
would like to validate their templates' HTML syntax prior to
HTML::Template processing, or who use DTD-savvy editing tools.

In order to realize a dramatic savings in bandwidth, the standard
(non-comment) tags will be used throughout this documentation.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

Call C<new()> to create a new Template object:

my $template = HTML::Template->new(
        filename => 'file.tmpl',
        option   => 'value',
    );

You must call C<new()> with at least one C<name => value> pair specifying how
to access the template text.  You can use C<< filename => 'file.tmpl' >> 
to specify a filename to be opened as the template.  Alternately you can
use:

my $t = HTML::Template->new(
        scalarref => $ref_to_template_text,
        option    => 'value',
    );

and

my $t = HTML::Template->new(
        arrayref => $ref_to_array_of_lines,
        option   => 'value',
    );

These initialize the template from in-memory resources.  In almost every
case you'll want to use the filename parameter.  If you're worried about
all the disk access from reading a template file just use mod_perl and
the cache option detailed below.

You can also read the template from an already opened filehandle, either
traditionally as a glob or as a L<FileHandle>:

my $t = HTML::Template->new(filehandle => *FH, option => 'value');

The four C<new()> calling methods can also be accessed as below, if you
prefer.

my $t = HTML::Template->new_file('file.tmpl', option => 'value');

my $t = HTML::Template->new_scalar_ref($ref_to_template_text, option => 'value');

my $t = HTML::Template->new_array_ref($ref_to_array_of_lines, option => 'value');

my $t = HTML::Template->new_filehandle($fh, option => 'value');

And as a final option, for those that might prefer it, you can call new as:

my $t = HTML::Template->new(
        type   => 'filename',
        source => 'file.tmpl',
    );

Which works for all three of the source types.

If the environment variable C<HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT> is set and your
filename doesn't begin with "/", then the path will be relative to the
value of c<HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT>.

B<Example> - if the environment variable C<HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT> is set to
F</home/sam> and I call C<< HTML::Template->new() >> with filename set
to "sam.tmpl", HTML::Template will try to open F</home/sam/sam.tmpl> to
access the template file.  You can also affect the search path for files
with the C<path> option to C<new()> - see below for more information.

You can modify the Template object's behavior with C<new()>. The options
are available:

=head3 Error Detection Options

=over

=item * die_on_bad_params

If set to 0 the module will let you call:

$template->param(param_name => 'value')

even if 'param_name' doesn't exist in the template body.  Defaults to 1.

=item * force_untaint

If set to 1 the module will not allow you to set unescaped parameters
with tainted values. If set to 2 you will have to untaint all
parameters, including ones with the escape attribute.  This option
makes sure you untaint everything so you don't accidentally introduce
e.g. cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Requires taint
mode. Defaults to 0.

=item *

strict - if set to 0 the module will allow things that look like they
might be TMPL_* tags to get by without dieing.  Example:

<TMPL_HUH NAME=ZUH>

Would normally cause an error, but if you call new with C<< strict => 0 >> 
HTML::Template will ignore it.  Defaults to 1.

=item * vanguard_compatibility_mode

If set to 1 the module will expect to see C<< <TMPL_VAR> >>s that
look like C<%NAME%> in addition to the standard syntax.  Also sets
C<die_on_bad_params => 0>.  If you're not at Vanguard Media trying to
use an old format template don't worry about this one.  Defaults to 0.

=back

=head3 Caching Options

=over

=item * cache

If set to 1 the module will cache in memory the parsed templates based
on the filename parameter, the modification date of the file and the
options passed to C<new()>. This only applies to templates opened with
the filename parameter specified, not scalarref or arrayref templates.
Caching also looks at the modification times of any files included using
C<< <TMPL_INCLUDE> >> tags, but again, only if the template is opened
with filename parameter.

This is mainly of use in a persistent environment like Apache/mod_perl.
It has absolutely no benefit in a normal CGI environment since the script
is unloaded from memory after every request.  For a cache that does work
for a non-persistent environment see the C<shared_cache> option below.

My simplistic testing shows that using cache yields a 90% performance
increase under mod_perl.  Cache defaults to 0.

=item * shared_cache

If set to 1 the module will store its cache in shared memory using the
L<IPC::SharedCache> module (available from CPAN).  The effect of this
will be to maintain a single shared copy of each parsed template for
all instances of HTML::Template on the same machine to use.  This can
be a significant reduction in memory usage in an environment with a
single machine but multiple servers.  As an example, on one of our
systems we use 4MB of template cache and maintain 25 httpd processes -
shared_cache results in saving almost 100MB!  Of course, some reduction
in speed versus normal caching is to be expected.  Another difference
between normal caching and shared_cache is that shared_cache will work
in a non-persistent environment (like normal CGI) - normal caching is
only useful in a persistent environment like Apache/mod_perl.

By default HTML::Template uses the IPC key 'TMPL' as a shared root
segment (0x4c504d54 in hex), but this can be changed by setting the
C<ipc_key> C<new()> parameter to another 4-character or integer key.
Other options can be used to affect the shared memory cache correspond
to L<IPC::SharedCache> options - C<ipc_mode>, C<ipc_segment_size> and
C<ipc_max_size>.  See L<IPC::SharedCache> for a description of how these
work - in most cases you shouldn't need to change them from the defaults.

For more information about the shared memory cache system used by
HTML::Template see L<IPC::SharedCache>.

=item * double_cache

If set to 1 the module will use a combination of C<shared_cache> and
normal cache mode for the best possible caching.  Of course, it also uses
the most memory of all the cache modes.  All the same ipc_* options that
work with C<shared_cache> apply to C<double_cache> as well. Defaults to 0.

=item * blind_cache

If set to 1 the module behaves exactly as with normal caching but does
not check to see if the file has changed on each request.  This option
should be used with caution, but could be of use on high-load servers.
My tests show C<blind_cache> performing only 1 to 2 percent faster than
cache under mod_perl.

B<NOTE>: Combining this option with shared_cache can result in stale
templates stuck permanently in shared memory!

=item * file_cache

If set to 1 the module will store its cache in a file using
the L<Storable> module.  It uses no additional memory, and my
simplistic testing shows that it yields a 50% performance advantage.
Like C<shared_cache>, it will work in a non-persistent environments
(like CGI). Default is 0.

If you set this option you must set the C<file_cache_dir> option. See
below for details.

B<NOTE>: L<Storable> uses C<flock()> to ensure safe access to cache
files.  Using C<file_cache> on a system or filesystem (like NFS) without
C<flock()> support is dangerous.

=item * file_cache_dir

Sets the directory where the module will store the cache files if
C<file_cache> is enabled.  Your script will need write permissions to
this directory.  You'll also need to make sure the sufficient space is
available to store the cache files.

=item * file_cache_dir_mode

Sets the file mode for newly created C<file_cache> directories and
subdirectories.  Defaults to "0700" for security but this may be
inconvenient if you do not have access to the account running the
webserver.

=item * double_file_cache

If set to 1 the module will use a combination of C<file_cache> and
normal C<cache> mode for the best possible caching.  The file_cache_*
options that work with file_cache apply to C<double_file_cache> as well.
Defaults to 0.

=item * cache_lazy_vars

The option tells HTML::Template to cache the values returned from code references
used for C<TMPL_VAR>s. See L<LAZY VALUES> for details.

=item * cache_lazy_loops

The option tells HTML::Template to cache the values returned from code references
used for C<TMPL_LOOP>s. See L<LAZY VALUES> for details.

=back

=head3 Filesystem Options

=over

=item * path

You can set this variable with a list of paths to search for files
specified with the C<filename> option to C<new()> and for files included
with the C<< <TMPL_INCLUDE> >> tag.  This list is only consulted when the
filename is relative.  The C<HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT> environment variable
is always tried first if it exists.  Also, if C<HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT> is
set then an attempt will be made to prepend C<HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT> onto
paths in the path array.  In the case of a C<< <TMPL_INCLUDE> >> file,
the path to the including file is also tried before path is consulted.

Example:

my $template = HTML::Template->new(
        filename => 'file.tmpl',
        path     => ['/path/to/templates', '/alternate/path'],
    );

B<NOTE>: the paths in the path list must be expressed as UNIX paths,
separated by the forward-slash character ('/').

=item * search_path_on_include

If set to a true value the module will search from the top of the array
of paths specified by the path option on every C<< <TMPL_INCLUDE> >> and
use the first matching template found.  The normal behavior is to look
only in the current directory for a template to include.  Defaults to 0.

=item * utf8

Setting this to true tells HTML::Template to treat your template files as
UTF-8 encoded.  This will apply to any file's passed to C<new()> or any
included files. It won't do anything special to scalars templates passed
to C<new()> since you should be doing the encoding on those yourself.

my $template = HTML::Template->new(
        filename => 'umlauts_are_awesome.tmpl',
        utf8     => 1,
    );

Most templates are either ASCII (the default) or UTF-8 encoded
Unicode. But if you need some other encoding other than these 2, look
at the C<open_mode> option.

B<NOTE>: The C<utf8> and C<open_mode> options cannot be used at the
same time.

=item * open_mode

You can set this option to an opening mode with which all template files
will be opened.

For example, if you want to use a template that is UTF-16 encoded unicode:

my $template = HTML::Template->new(
        filename  => 'file.tmpl',
        open_mode => '<:encoding(UTF-16)',
    );

That way you can force a different encoding (than the default ASCII
or UTF-8), CR/LF properties etc. on the template files. See L<PerlIO>
for details.

B<NOTE>: this only works in perl 5.7.1 and above.

B<NOTE>: you have to supply an opening mode that actually permits
reading from the file handle.

B<NOTE>: The C<utf8> and C<open_mode> options cannot be used at the
same time.

=back

=head3 Debugging Options

=over

=item * debug

If set to 1 the module will write random debugging information to STDERR.
Defaults to 0.

=item * stack_debug

If set to 1 the module will use Data::Dumper to print out the contents
of the parse_stack to STDERR.  Defaults to 0.

=item * cache_debug

If set to 1 the module will send information on cache loads, hits and
misses to STDERR.  Defaults to 0.

=item * shared_cache_debug

If set to 1 the module will turn on the debug option in
L<IPC::SharedCache>. Defaults to 0.

=item * memory_debug

If set to 1 the module will send information on cache memory usage
to STDERR.  Requires the L<GTop> module.  Defaults to 0.

=back

=head3 Miscellaneous Options

=over

=item * associate

This option allows you to inherit the parameter values
from other objects.  The only requirement for the other object is that
it have a C<param()> method that works like HTML::Template's C<param()>.  A
good candidate would be a L<CGI> query object. Example:

my $query    = CGI->new;
    my $template = HTML::Template->new(
        filename  => 'template.tmpl',
        associate => $query,
    );

Now, C<< $template->output() >> will act as though

$template->param(form_field => $cgi->param('form_field'));

had been specified for each key/value pair that would be provided by the
C<< $cgi->param() >> method.  Parameters you set directly take precedence
over associated parameters.

You can specify multiple objects to associate by passing an anonymous
array to the associate option.  They are searched for parameters in the
order they appear:

my $template = HTML::Template->new(
        filename  => 'template.tmpl',
        associate => [$query, $other_obj],
    );

B<NOTE>: The parameter names are matched in a case-insensitive manner.
If you have two parameters in a CGI object like 'NAME' and 'Name' one
will be chosen randomly by associate.  This behavior can be changed by
the C<case_sensitive> option.

=item * case_sensitive

Setting this option to true causes HTML::Template to treat template
variable names case-sensitively.  The following example would only set
one parameter without the C<case_sensitive> option:

my $template = HTML::Template->new(
        filename       => 'template.tmpl',
        case_sensitive => 1
    );
    $template->param(
        FieldA => 'foo',
        fIELDa => 'bar',
    );

This option defaults to off.

B<NOTE>: with C<case_sensitive> and C<loop_context_vars> the special
loop variables are available in lower-case only.

=item * loop_context_vars

When this parameter is set to true (it is false by default) extra variables
that depend on the loop's context are made available inside a loop. These are:

=over

=item * __first__

Value that is true for the first iteration of the loop and false every other time.

=item * __last__

Value that is true for the last iteration of the loop and false every other time.

=item * __inner__

Value that is true for the every iteration of the loop except for the first and last.

=item * __outer__

Value that is true for the first and last iterations of the loop.

=item * __odd__

Value that is true for the every odd iteration of the loop.

=item * __even__

Value that is true for the every even iteration of the loop.

=item * __counter__

An integer (starting from 1) whose value increments for each iteration of the loop.

=item * __index__

An integer (starting from 0) whose value increments for each iteration of the loop.

=back

Just like any other C<TMPL_VAR>s these variables can be used in 
C<< <TMPL_IF> >>, C<< <TMPL_UNLESS> >> and C<< <TMPL_ELSE> >> to control
how a loop is output.

Example:

<TMPL_LOOP NAME="FOO">
      <TMPL_IF NAME="__first__">
        This only outputs on the first pass.
      </TMPL_IF>

<TMPL_IF NAME="__odd__">
        This outputs every other pass, on the odd passes.
      </TMPL_IF>

<TMPL_UNLESS NAME="__odd__">
        This outputs every other pass, on the even passes.
      </TMPL_UNLESS>

<TMPL_IF NAME="__inner__">
        This outputs on passes that are neither first nor last.
      </TMPL_IF>

This is pass number <TMPL_VAR NAME="__counter__">.

<TMPL_IF NAME="__last__">
        This only outputs on the last pass.
      </TMPL_IF>
    </TMPL_LOOP>

One use of this feature is to provide a "separator" similar in effect
to the perl function C<join()>.  Example:

<TMPL_LOOP FRUIT>
      <TMPL_IF __last__> and </TMPL_IF>
      <TMPL_VAR KIND><TMPL_UNLESS __last__>, <TMPL_ELSE>.</TMPL_UNLESS>
    </TMPL_LOOP>

Would output something like:

Apples, Oranges, Brains, Toes, and Kiwi.

Given an appropriate C<param()> call, of course. B<NOTE>: A loop with only
a single pass will get both C<__first__> and C<__last__> set to true, but
not C<__inner__>.

=item * no_includes

Set this option to 1 to disallow the C<< <TMPL_INCLUDE> >> tag in the
template file.  This can be used to make opening untrusted templates
B<slightly> less dangerous.  Defaults to 0.

=item * max_includes

Set this variable to determine the maximum depth that includes can reach.
Set to 10 by default.  Including files to a depth greater than this
value causes an error message to be displayed.  Set to 0 to disable
this protection.

=item * die_on_missing_include

If true, then HTML::Template will die if it can't find a file for a
C<< <TMPL_INCLUDE> >>. This defaults to true.

=item * global_vars

Normally variables declared outside a loop are not available inside
a loop.  This option makes C<< <TMPL_VAR> >>s like global variables in
Perl - they have unlimited scope.  This option also affects C<< <TMPL_IF> >> 
and C<< <TMPL_UNLESS> >>.

Example:

This is a normal variable: <TMPL_VAR NORMAL>.<P>

<TMPL_LOOP NAME=FROOT_LOOP>
      Here it is inside the loop: <TMPL_VAR NORMAL><P>
    </TMPL_LOOP>

Normally this wouldn't work as expected, since C<< <TMPL_VAR NORMAL> >>'s 
value outside the loop is not available inside the loop.

The global_vars option also allows you to access the values of an
enclosing loop within an inner loop.  For example, in this loop the
inner loop will have access to the value of C<OUTER_VAR> in the correct
iteration:

<TMPL_LOOP OUTER_LOOP>
      OUTER: <TMPL_VAR OUTER_VAR>
        <TMPL_LOOP INNER_LOOP>
           INNER: <TMPL_VAR INNER_VAR>
           INSIDE OUT: <TMPL_VAR OUTER_VAR>
        </TMPL_LOOP>
    </TMPL_LOOP>

One side-effect of C<global_vars> is that variables you set with
C<param()> that might otherwise be ignored when C<die_on_bad_params>
is off will stick around.  This is necessary to allow inner loops to
access values set for outer loops that don't directly use the value.

B<NOTE>: C<global_vars> is not C<global_loops> (which does not exist).
That means that loops you declare at one scope are not available
inside other loops even when C<global_vars> is on.

=item * filter

This option allows you to specify a filter for your template files.
A filter is a subroutine that will be called after HTML::Template reads
your template file but before it starts parsing template tags.

In the most simple usage, you simply assign a code reference to the
filter parameter.  This subroutine will receive a single argument -
a reference to a string containing the template file text.  Here is
an example that accepts templates with tags that look like 
C<!!!ZAP_VAR FOO!!!> and transforms them into HTML::Template tags:

my $filter = sub {
        my $text_ref = shift;
        $$text_ref =~ s/!!!ZAP_(.*?)!!!/<TMPL_$1>/g;
    };

# open zap.tmpl using the above filter
    my $template = HTML::Template->new(
        filename => 'zap.tmpl',
        filter   => $filter,
    );

More complicated usages are possible.  You can request that your
filter receives the template text as an array of lines rather than
as a single scalar.  To do that you need to specify your filter using
a hash-ref.  In this form you specify the filter using the C<sub> key
and the desired argument format using the C<format> key.  The available
formats are C<scalar> and C<array>.  Using the C<array> format will
incur a performance penalty but may be more convenient in some situations.

my $template = HTML::Template->new(
        filename => 'zap.tmpl',
        filter   => {
            sub    => $filter,
            format => 'array',
        }
    );

You may also have multiple filters.  This allows simple filters to be
combined for more elaborate functionality.  To do this you specify
an array of filters.  The filters are applied in the order they are
specified.

my $template = HTML::Template->new(
        filename => 'zap.tmpl',
        filter   => [
            {
                sub    => \&decompress,
                format => 'scalar',
            },
            {
                sub    => \&remove_spaces,
                format => 'array',
            },
        ]
    );

The specified filters will be called for any C<TMPL_INCLUDE>ed files just
as they are for the main template file.

=item * default_escape

Set this parameter to a valid escape type (see the C<escape> option)
and HTML::Template will apply the specified escaping to all variables
unless they declare a different escape in the template.

=head2 config

A package method that is used to set/get the global default configuration options.
For instance, if you want to set the C<utf8> flag to always be on for every
template loaded by this process you would do:

HTML::Template->config(utf8 => 1);

Or if you wanted to check if the C<utf8> flag was on or not, you could do:

my %config = HTML::Template->config;
    if( $config{utf8} ) {
        ...
    }

Any configuration options that are valid for C<new()> are acceptable to be
passed to this method.

=head2 param

C<param()> can be called in a number of ways

=over

=item 1 - To return a list of parameters in the template :

=item 2 - To return the value set to a param :

my $value = $self->param('PARAM');

=item 3 - To set the value of a parameter :

# For simple TMPL_VARs:
    $self->param(PARAM => 'value');

# with a subroutine reference that gets called to get the value
    # of the scalar.  The sub will receive the template object as a
    # parameter.
    $self->param(PARAM => sub { return 'value' });

=head2 output

C<output()> returns the final result of the template.  In most situations
you'll want to print this, like:

print $template->output();

When output is called each occurrence of C<< <TMPL_VAR NAME=name> >> is
replaced with the value assigned to "name" via C<param()>.  If a named
parameter is unset it is simply replaced with ''.  C<< <TMPL_LOOP> >>s
are evaluated once per parameter set, accumulating output on each pass.

Calling C<output()> is guaranteed not to change the state of the
HTML::Template object, in case you were wondering.  This property is
mostly important for the internal implementation of loops.

You may optionally supply a filehandle to print to automatically as the
template is generated.  This may improve performance and lower memory
consumption.  Example:

$template->output(print_to => *STDOUT);

The return value is undefined when using the C<print_to> option.

=head2 query

This method allow you to get information about the template structure.
It can be called in a number of ways.  The simplest usage of query is
simply to check whether a parameter name exists in the template, using
the C<name> option:

if ($template->query(name => 'foo')) {
        # do something if a variable of any type named FOO is in the template
    }

This same usage returns the type of the parameter.  The type is the same
as the tag minus the leading 'TMPL_'.  So, for example, a C<TMPL_VAR>
parameter returns 'VAR' from C<query()>.

if ($template->query(name => 'foo') eq 'VAR') {
        # do something if FOO exists and is a TMPL_VAR
    }

Note that the variables associated with C<TMPL_IF>s and C<TMPL_UNLESS>s
will be identified as 'VAR' unless they are also used in a C<TMPL_LOOP>,
in which case they will return 'LOOP'.

C<query()> also allows you to get a list of parameters inside a loop
(and inside loops inside loops).  Example loop:

<TMPL_LOOP NAME="EXAMPLE_LOOP">
      <TMPL_VAR NAME="BEE">
      <TMPL_VAR NAME="BOP">
      <TMPL_LOOP NAME="EXAMPLE_INNER_LOOP">
        <TMPL_VAR NAME="INNER_BEE">
        <TMPL_VAR NAME="INNER_BOP">
      </TMPL_LOOP>
    </TMPL_LOOP>

And some query calls:
  
    # returns 'LOOP'
    $type = $template->query(name => 'EXAMPLE_LOOP');

# returns ('bop', 'bee', 'example_inner_loop')
    @param_names = $template->query(loop => 'EXAMPLE_LOOP');

# both return 'VAR'
    $type = $template->query(name => ['EXAMPLE_LOOP', 'BEE']);
    $type = $template->query(name => ['EXAMPLE_LOOP', 'BOP']);

# and this one returns 'LOOP'
    $type = $template->query(name => ['EXAMPLE_LOOP', 'EXAMPLE_INNER_LOOP']);

# and finally, this returns ('inner_bee', 'inner_bop')
    @inner_param_names = $template->query(loop => ['EXAMPLE_LOOP', 'EXAMPLE_INNER_LOOP']);

# for non existent parameter names you get undef this returns undef.
    $type = $template->query(name => 'DWEAZLE_ZAPPA');

# calling loop on a non-loop parameter name will cause an error. This dies:
    $type = $template->query(loop => 'DWEAZLE_ZAPPA');

As you can see above the C<loop> option returns a list of parameter
names and both C<name> and C<loop> take array refs in order to refer to
parameters inside loops.  It is an error to use C<loop> with a parameter
that is not a loop.

Note that all the names are returned in lowercase and the types are
uppercase.

Just like C<param()>, C<query()> with no arguments returns all the
parameter names in the template at the top level.

=head1 LAZY VALUES

As mentioned above, both C<TMPL_VAR> and C<TMPL_LOOP> values can be code
references.  These code references are only executed if the variable or
loop is used in the template.  This is extremely useful if you want to
make a variable available to template designers but it can be expensive
to calculate, so you only want to do so if you have to.

Maybe an example will help to illustrate. Let's say you have a template
like this:

<tmpl_if we_care>
      <tmpl_if life_universe_and_everything>
    </tmpl_if>

If C<life_universe_and_everything> is expensive to calculate we can
wrap it's calculation in a code reference and HTML::Template will only
execute that code if C<we_care> is also true.

$tmpl->param(life_universe_and_everything => sub { calculate_42() });

Your code reference will be given a single argument, the HTML::Template
object in use. In the above example, if we wanted C<calculate_42()>
to have this object we'd do something like this:

$tmpl->param(life_universe_and_everything => sub { calculate_42(shift) });

This same approach can be used for C<TMPL_LOOP>s too:

<tmpl_if we_care>
      <tmpl_loop needles_in_haystack>
        Found <tmpl_var __counter>!
      </tmpl_loop>
    </tmpl_if>

And in your Perl code:

$tmpl->param(needles_in_haystack => sub { find_needles() });

The only difference in the C<TMPL_LOOP> case is that the subroutine
needs to return a reference to an ARRAY, not just a scalar value.

=head2 Multiple Calls

It's important to recognize that while this feature is designed
to save processing time when things aren't needed, if you're not
careful it can actually increase the number of times you perform your
calculation. HTML::Template calls your code reference each time it seems
your loop in the template, this includes the times that you might use
the loop in a conditional (C<TMPL_IF> or C<TMPL_UNLESS>). For instance:

<tmpl_if we care>
      <tmpl_if needles_in_haystack>
          <tmpl_loop needles_in_haystack>
            Found <tmpl_var __counter>!
          </tmpl_loop>
      <tmpl_else>
        No needles found!
      </tmpl_if>
    </tmpl_if>

This will actually call C<find_needles()> twice which will be even worse
than you had before.  One way to work around this is to cache the return
value yourself:

my $needles;
    $tmpl->param(needles_in_haystack => sub { defined $needles ? $needles : $needles = find_needles() });

=head1 BUGS

I am aware of no bugs - if you find one, join the mailing list and
tell us about it.  You can join the HTML::Template mailing-list by
visiting:

http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/html-template-users

Of course, you can still email me directly (C<sam@tregar.com>) with bugs,
but I reserve the right to forward bug reports to the mailing list.

When submitting bug reports, be sure to include full details,
including the VERSION of the module, a test script and a test template
demonstrating the problem!

If you're feeling really adventurous, HTML::Template has a publically
available Git repository.  See below for more information in the
PUBLIC GIT REPOSITORY section.
