I am working with a software which comes with its own perl build for

What are the ways to get Template toolkit bundled with their perl.?
Please guide me to links/pointers on this.
The software owner also has these questions:
1. whether TT(Template toolkit) is pure-perl ?
Yes, it's pure perl, but with the option to install some C-based
optimizations. When you install it, you are asked if you want to
build the C version of the stash, but if you answer no, TT will still
work fine. It's just slower in certain situations, and, in my
experience, not enough to notice in most situations.
When you run Makefile.PL, you will be asked:
Do you want to build the XS Stash module? [y]
Answer n and it won't build the C modules. Alternately, you can
invoke Makefile.PL with the TT_XS_ENABLE=n flag, and it will default
to no.
2. Does TT install require a compile.i.e C compiler on the platform is
a must for TT?
No, see above.
3. Is TT available on all platforms? atleast on linux,solaris,windows?
Yes; because it's pure Perl, it runs on any platform that Perl runs
on. When you install it for your special version of Perl, make sure
you use that binary to generate the Makefile. I.e., if your
vendor-provided perl is at /opt/foo/bin/perl, then make sure you build
TT with:
$ /opt/foo/bin/perl Makefile.PL
and it will all go into the right include path when you run `make
install`. That should be all you need to do.
