[htmltmpl] Patches for HTML-Template-2.5.tar.gz

[Yunliang Yu <yu...@ma...>]

Hi,

Thanks for the wonderful HTML::Template module. I made a few changes while
using it for my projects, hoping these changes will be useful for others:

1. add extended expression support without impact on speed

		<TMPL_IF NAME="item ne 'pizza' && price != 0.99">
			I got <TMPL_VAR NAME="item"> for
			<TMPL_VAR "price * count + 0.5"> dollars.
		<TMPL_ELSE>
			gee, free pizza!
		</TMPL_IF>

2. clean up global_vars implementation

3. add a new way to access outside variables without global_vars

		This is a normal variable: <TMPL_VAR NORMAL>.<P>
		<TMPL_LOOP NAME=FROOT_LOOP>
		   Use it inside the loop: <TMPL_VAR __NORMAL><P>
		</TMPL_LOOP>

4. TMPL_VAR can now have a default value

        <TMPL_VAR NAME="PARAMETER_NAME" VALUE="default value">

5. add TMPL_DEF tag for defining new parameters

        <TMPL_DEF NAME="NAME" VALUE="value">

6. add __count__ to loops

         <TMPL_VAR NAME="__count__">-th record in the loop.

Thanks.
