[htmltmpl] Automatically wrapping templates

[Drew Taylor]

Hi,

I would like to automatically wrap a template in a header and footer without having to specify <TMPL_INCLUDE [header|footer].tmpl> for every page. In TT I can use the PRE_PROCESS and POST_PROCESS options, which specify a template that is pre/appended to the specified template. Is there an easy way to automatically do this in HTML::Template?

It looks like I can do this with a filter, but it doesn't feel right to me.

my $filter = sub {
my $text = shift;
unshift @$text, "<TMPL_INCLUDE header.tmpl>";
push @$text, "<TMPL_INCLUDE footer.tmpl>";
}
my $template = HTML::Template->new('file.tmpl',filter=>{sub=>$filter,format=>'array'});
