6 HTML::Template::Pro - Perl/XS module to use HTML Templates from CGI
7 scripts
8
10 It is moved out and split.
11
12 See "SYNOPSIS" in HTML::Template::SYNTAX for introduction to
13 HTML::Template and syntax of template files.
14
15 See "SYNOPSIS" in HTML::Template::PerlInterface for perl interface of
16 HTML::Template, HTML::Template::Expr and HTML::Template::Pro.
17
19 Original HTML::Template is written by Sam Tregar, sam@tregar.com with
20 contributions of many people mentioned there. Their efforts caused
21 HTML::Template to be mature html tempate engine which separate perl
22 code and html design. Yet powerful, HTML::Template is slow, especially
23 if mod_perl isn't available or in case of disk usage and memory
24 limitations.
25
26 HTML::Template::Pro is a fast lightweight C/Perl+XS reimplementation of
27 HTML::Template (as of 2.9) and HTML::Template::Expr (as of 0.0.7). It
28 is not intended to be a complete replacement, but to be a fast
29 implementation of HTML::Template if you don't need querying, the
30 extended facility of HTML::Template. Designed for heavy upload,
31 resource limitations, abcence of mod_perl.
32
33 HTML::Template::Pro has complete support of filters and
34 HTML::Template::Expr's tag EXPR="<expression>", including user-defined
35 functions and construction <TMPL_INCLUDE EXPR="...">.
36
37 HTML::Template work cycle uses 2 steps. First, it loads and parse
38 template. Then it accepts param() calls until you call output().
39 output() is its second phase where it produces a page from the parsed
40 tree of template, obtained in the 1st step.
41
42 HTML::Template::Pro loads, parse and outputs template on fly, when you
43 call $tmpl->output(), in one pass. The corresponding code is written in
44 C and glued to Perl using Perl+XS. As a result, comparing to
45 HTML::Template in ordinary calls, it runs 10-25 times faster. Comparing
46 to HTML::Template with all caching enabled under mod_perl, it still 1-3
47 times faster. At that HTML::Template caching requires considerable
48 amount of memory (per process, shareable, or on disk) to be permanently
49 filled with parsed trees, whereas HTML::Template::Pro don't consumes
50 memory for caches and use mmap() for reading templates on disk.
51
52 Introduction to HTML::Template and syntax of template files is
53 described in HTML::Template::SYNTAX. Perl interface of HTML::Template
54 and HTML::Template::Pro is described in HTML::Template::PerlInterface.
