After years of threatening, I've finally spun POE::Preprocessor off
into a separate project. It just needs a good name before I upload
it. The current documentation is at <http://search.cpan.org/~rcaputo/
POE/lib/POE/Preprocessor.pm>.
Executive summary: This source filter (code named Filter::Inline)
adds syntax for inline code templates. Definitions look like named-
prototyped subs, using the "macro" keyword:
macro max (one,two) {
((one)>(two)?(one):(two))
}
Invocations look rather template-like:
print {% max $one, $two %};
At load time, parameters are literally expanded into macro bodies,
which are then inserted into your code. The above example is
compiled as:
print (($one)>($two)?($one):($two));
It supports some other syntax, but the macros are the main attraction.
