DESCRIPTION

This module extends the power of Inline::Mason to an OO level. You may use it to build a module specific for generating documents, like help documentation, etc.

ON IMPORTING

On importing the module, by default, the inline-mason will be loaded. However, you can still pass 'no_autoload' stating that you don't want the module to automatically load inline-mason scripts dwelling in the module file.

    use Inline::Mason::OO qw(no_autoload);

Besides, you can call 'to_load_files' in the parent module, and the files will be loaded every time when you instantiate a new object.

    package MY::Mason;
    use Inline::Mason::OO;
    our @ISA = qw(Inline::Mason::OO);
    Inline::Mason::OO::to_load_files(@files);

    1;
    __END__

And, of course, you can do this superfluous and redundant action.

    package MY::Mason;
    use Inline::Mason::OO qw(no_autoload);
    our @ISA = qw(Inline::Mason::OO);
    Inline::Mason::OO::to_load_files(__FILE__);

    1;
    __END__

METHODS

new

The constructor takes a list of file's names in which mason scripts reside and will load them to the instance. The file where the constructor is called is always loaded by default.

load_mason

Create mason scripts in place, and you can pass a list of pairs.

Load mason script in place:

    my $m = new MY::Mason;
    $m->load_mason
    (
     BEATLES
     =>
     'Nothing\'s gonna change my <% $ARGS{what} %>',
     # ... ... ...
     );

    print $m->BEATLES(what => 'world');

load_file

Load an external file manually and explicitly.

    my $m = new MY::Mason;
    $m->load_file('external_mason.txt');
