NAME

Data::Phrasebook::Plain - The Simple Phrasebook Model.

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use Data::Phrasebook;
my $q = Data::Phrasebook->new(
    class  => 'Plain',
    loader => 'Text',
    file   => 'phrases.txt',
);
my $r = Data::Phrasebook->new( file => 'phrases.txt' );
# simple keyword to phrase mapping
my $phrase = $q->fetch($keyword);
# keyword to phrase mapping with parameters
$q->delimiters( qr{ \[% \s* (\w+) \s* %\] }x );
my $phrase = $q->fetch($keyword,{this => 'that'});
            
          

DESCRIPTION

This module is the fallback or default phrasebook class. It doesn't do much except act as a very simple templating facility.

METHODS

fetch

Retrieves the specified template and substitutes any keywords for values.

Thus, given:

            

              
              
hello=Hello [% where %]!
            
          

And code:

            

              
              
my $text = $q->fetch( 'hello', {
    where => 'world'
} );
            
          

Return value is:

            

              
              
Hello world!
            
          

The delimiters are deliberately taken from Template Toolkit.
