Hi

Since you're using CGI::App, you should have a look at
CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate - which will allow you to call a =
run
mode with the H::T
=20
 <TMPL_VAR NAME=3D"CGIAPP_embed('some_run_mode', 'param, 'param')">

Subject: [htmltmpl] Writing an extension for HTML::Template - how to do =
it?


Hello folks!
=20
Don't know if it's just me or documentation of HTML::Template::Extension
isn't good. Eitherway, I can't figure out how to write an extenstion for =
it,
that I need for my project.=20
=20
I work with CGI::Application, and I wan't to be able to use (reusable)
objects in my templates.
=20
For instance :
=20
<tmpl_plugin name=3D"SomeName(param1, param2)">
=20
My filter would find SomeName module (Prefix such as
MyApp::Plugin::SomeName) make an instance of it and call method - say =
named
run. And place returned value instead of this tag.
=20
Think of it as another template file that is included but it has some
processing ... That way I can create one module/plugin and use it =
througth
whole site/application.
=20
=20
If I don't figure this out soon - I will have to give a shot to
HTML::Template::Expr and register a function with it (<tmpl_var
name=3D"plugin(SomeName, param1, param2)">).
=20
Thanks.
