The details...
In my template, I'd like to have something like:
<TMPL_VAR NAME="QUERY" VALUE="SELECT col1, col2 FROM table">
and then do something like this in my Perl code:
my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'test.tmpl');
my $value = $template->param('QUERY');and have $value = "SELECT col1, col2 FROM table"
My three thoughts are:
1. use a filter, but I don't know how to get $template instead of the filter subroutine so I can call $template->param to set the value. The only thing passed to the filter subroutine is the text of the file and not $self?
2. extend HTML::Template to handle this via the existing TMPL_VAR or add a new tag TMPL_DEFINE
3. Use HTML::Template::Expr, but my experience is that ::Expr is slow and I don't need all the other features it would provide.
Comments on the above options or other thoughts on how to do this?
Thanks, Bill
