This is a library for generating form letters, building HTML pages,
|
|
or filling in templates generally. A `template' is a piece of text
|
|
that has little Perl programs embedded in it here and there. When
|
|
you `fill in' a template, you evaluate the little programs and
|
|
replace them with their values. Here's an example of a template:
|
|
|
|
Dear {$title} {$lastname},
|
|
|
|
It has come to our attention that you are delinquent in your
|
|
{$monthname[$last_paid_month]} payment. Please remit
|
|
${sprintf("%.2f", $amount)} immediately, or your patellae may
|
|
be needlessly endangered.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The result of filling in this template is a string, which might look
|
|
something like this:
|
|
|
|
Dear Mr. Gates,
|
|
|
|
It has come to our attention that you are delinquent in your
|
|
February payment. Please remit
|
|
$392.12 immediately, or your patellae may
|
|
be needlessly endangered.
