[htmltmpl] Caching in html-template

[<hat...@tu...>]

Hello html-template-users,

  I don't know anything about how html-template caches its templates.

  I'm using file_cache, and I have many templates for different
  modules. I have two ways for handling it:

  1.

  main.tmpl:

  <TMPL_INCLUDE "some_header.html">
  <TMPL_IF _MODULE_MODULE1><TMPL_INCLUDE "modules/module1.tmpl"></TMPL_IF>
  <TMPL_IF _MODULE_MODULE2><TMPL_INCLUDE "modules/module2.tmpl"></TMPL_IF>
  ...
  <TMPL_INCLUDE "some_footer.html">

  and perl code like this:

  my $tmpl = HTML::Template->new(
     ...
     filename       => 'main.tmpl',
     file_cache     => 1,
     file_cache_dir => './cache/'
  );
  $tmpl->param("_MODULE_$current_module" => 1);

  2.

  main.tmpl:

  <TMPL_INCLUDE "some_header.html">

  <TMPL_VAR MODULE_OUTPUT>
  
  <TMPL_INCLUDE "some_footer.html">

  and perl code like this:

  my $tmpl = HTML::Template->new(
     ...
     filename       => 'main.tmpl',
     file_cache     => 1,
     file_cache_dir => './cache/'
  );

  my $mod_tmpl = HTML::Template->new(
     ...
     filename       => $module_tmpl,
     file_cache     => 1,
     file_cache_dir => './cache/'
  );
  $tmpl->param(MODULE_OUTPUT => $mod_tmpl->output());

  so, the question is: is there a difference in this methods when
  caching? and what is better? (maybe there is a third way).

  thanks.
