NAME

Pinwheel::View::ERB - Simple templating based on Ruby's erb syntax

SYNOPSIS

    my $src = 'Hello <%= "world" %>';

    $template = Pinwheel::View::ERB::parse_template($src);
    $template = Pinwheel::View::ERB::parse_template($src, $name);

    $result = &$template($locals, $globals, $fns);

DESCRIPTION

Pinwheel::View::ERB implements a simple subset of Ruby's erb templating syntax (as used in .rhtml templates in Ruby on Rails).

ROUTINES

parse_template(CONTENT) or parse_template(CONTENT, NAME)

Parse the string in CONTENT as a template, optionally associating NAME with the result for use in error messages. The return value is a function reference that can be called to generate the output.

&$template(LOCALS, GLOBALS, FNS)

Render the template (the result of parse_template) and return the result as a string. The LOCALS and GLOBALS hashes contain the local and global namespaces, and may be updated by the template. The FNS hash specifies which functions should be exposed to the template.
