In terms of writing my own filters I am still a bit confused. There
seems to be difference between the way described in Template::Filters
and Template::Plugin::Filters.
If you write a "regular" filter then you need access to the
Template object up-front, like so:
my $tt = Template->new({
FILTERS => { ... }
});
That doesn't work with ttree or tpage unless you define your own
custom Template module like so:
package My::Template;
use base 'Template';
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@_);
$self->context->define_filter(...);
return $self;
}
Then you can use your custom template module with the --template_module
option.
$ ttree --template_module My::Template
Alternately, write a plugin filter, subclassing it from
Template::Plugin::Filter, and providing your own filter()
method.
Then you can load the filter anywhere with a
[% USE MyFilter %]
This loads the plugin which installs the filter for you. This way
you don't need to mess with any tpage/ttree options.
