NAME

6       Template::Provider::Encoding - Explicitly declare encodings of your
7       templates
8

SYNOPSIS

10         use Template::Provider::Encoding;
11         use Template::Stash::ForceUTF8;
12         use Template;
13
14         my $tt = Template->new(
15             LOAD_TEMPLATES => [ Template::Provider::Encoding->new ],
16             STASH => Template::Stash::ForceUTF8->new,
17         );
18
19         # Everything should be Unicode
20         # (but you can pass UTF-8 bytes as well, thanks to Template::Stash::ForceUTF8)
21         my $author = "\x{5bae}\x{5ddd}";
22
23         # this will emit Unicode flagged string to STDOUT. You might
24         # probably want to binmode(STDOUT, ":encoding($enccoding)")
25         # before process() call
26         $tt->process($template, { author => $author });
27
28         # in your templates
29         [% USE encoding 'utf-8' -%]
30         My name is [% author %]. { ... whatever UTF-8 bytes }
31

DESCRIPTION

33       Template::Provider::Encoding is a Template Provider subclass to decode
34       template using its declaration. You have to declare encoding of the
35       template in the head (1st line) of template using (fake) encoding TT
36       plugin. Otherwise the template is handled as utf-8.
37
38         [% USE encoding 'utf-8' %]
39         Here comes utf-8 strings with [% variable %].

DIFFERNCE WITH OTHER WAYS

42   UNICODE option and BOM
43       Recent TT allows "UNICODE" option to Template::Provider and by adding
44       it Provider scans BOM (byte-order mark) to detect UTF-8/UTF-16 encoded
45       template files. This module does basically the same thing in a
46       different way, but IMHO adding BOM to template files is a little
47       painful especially for non-programmers.
48
49   Template::Provider::Encode
50       Template::Provider::Encode provides a very similar way to detect
51       Template file encodings and output the template into various encodings.
52
53       This module doesn't touch output encoding of the template and instead
54       it emits valid Unicode flagged string. I think the output encoding
55       conversion should be done by other piece of code, especially in the
56       framework.
57
58       This module doesn't require you to specify encoding in the code, nor
59       doesn't guess encodings. Instead it forces you to put "[% USE encoding
60       'foo-bar' %]" in the top of template files, which is explicit and, I
61       think, is a good convention.
