In the usual case, the $name parameter will be a simple string # containing the name of a template (e.g. 'header'). It may also be # a reference to Template::Document object (or sub-class) or a Perl # sub-routine. These are considered to be compiled templates and are # returned intact. Finally, it may be a reference to any other kind # of valid input source accepted by Template::Provider (e.g. scalar # ref, glob, IO handle, etc). # # Templates may be cached at one of 3 different levels. The internal # BLOCKS member is a local cache which holds references to all # template blocks used or imported via PROCESS since the context's # reset() method was last called. This is checked first and if the # template is not found, the method then walks down the BLOCKSTACK # list. This contains references to the block definition tables in # any enclosing Template::Documents that we're visiting (e.g. we've # been called via an INCLUDE and we want to access a BLOCK defined in # the template that INCLUDE'd us). If nothing is defined, then we # iterate through the LOAD_TEMPLATES providers list as a 'chain of # responsibility' (see Design Patterns) asking each object to fetch() # the template if it can. # # Returns the compiled template. On error, undef is returned and # the internal ERROR value (read via error()) is set to contain an # error message of the form "$name: $error". #------------------------------------------------------------------------ sub template { my ($self, $name) = @_; my ($prefix, $blocks, $defblocks, $provider, $template, $error); my ($shortname, $blockname, $providers); $self->debug("template($name)") if $self->{ DEBUG }; # references to Template::Document (or sub-class) objects, or # CODE references are assumed to be pre-compiled templates and are # returned intact return $name if (blessed($name) && $name->isa(DOCUMENT)) || ref($name) eq 'CODE'; $shortname = $name; unless (ref $name) { $self->debug("looking for block [$name]") if $self->{ DEBUG }; # we first look in the BLOCKS hash for a BLOCK that may have # been imported from a template (via PROCESS) return $template if ($template = $self->{ BLOCKS }->{ $name }); # then we iterate through the BLKSTACK list to see if any of the # Template::Documents we're visiting define this BLOCK foreach $blocks (@{ $self->{ BLKSTACK } }) { return $template if $blocks && ($template = $blocks->{ $name }); } # now it's time to ask the providers, so we look to see if any # prefix is specified to indicate the desired provider set. if (MSWin32) { # let C:/foo through $prefix = $1 if $shortname =~ s/^(\w{2,})://o; } else { $prefix = $1 if $shortname =~ s/^(\w+)://; } if (defined $prefix) { $providers = $self->{ PREFIX_MAP }->{ $prefix } || return $self->throw( Template::Constants::ERROR_FILE, "no providers for template prefix '$prefix'"); } } $providers = $self->{ PREFIX_MAP }->{ default } || $self->{ LOAD_TEMPLATES } unless $providers; # Finally we try the regular template providers which will # handle references to files, text, etc., as well as templates # reference by name.

It provides an interface to the fundamental operations of the Template Toolkit processing engine through which compiled templates (i.e. Perl code constructed from the template source) can process templates, load plugins and filters, raise exceptions and so on. A default C object is created by the L
