Dan,
I guess the other benefit I'm looking to receive is the caching
of templates. But I don't want to go through all of my modules adding the
cache option to load_tmpl. Can I set this somehow in my base class's prerun
or init methods?
You can override your base class's load_tmpl method (now inherited from CGI::App).
Have a look at the source of CGI::App's load_tmpl , copy that code into your base class
and just add the cache option.
A better solution would be to extend it rather than duplicate it. Don't copy/paste the code, but rely on it. From the C::A docs -
The load_tmpl() method will pass any extra parameters sent to it directly to HTML::Template->new_file(). This will allow the HTML::Template object to be further customized:
So you can put this in your base class:
sub load_tmpl {
my ($self, @args) = @_;
return $self->SUPER::load_tmpl(@args, cache => 1);
}Much simpler and easier to maintain if C::A changes the interanals of it's load_tmpl method.
