The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

OBTAINING AND INSTALLING THE TEMPLATE TOOLKIT

The Template Toolkit module bundle is available from CPAN as:

    /authors/id/ABW/Template-Toolkit-[% tt.version %].tar.gz

Unpack the archive to create an installation directory. Something like this:

    zcat Template-Toolkit-[% tt.version %].tar.gz | tar xvf -

'cd' into that directory, make, test and install the modules:

    cd Template-Toolkit-[% tt.version %]
    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install

NOTE: on Win32 systems, Microsoft's 'nmake' appears to be a suitable replacement for 'make'.

The 'make install' will install the module on your system. You may need administrator privileges to perform this task. If you install the module in a local directory (for example, by executing "perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/lib" in the above - see perldoc MakeMaker for full details), you will need to ensure that the PERL5LIB environment variable is set to include the location, or add a line to your scripts explicitly naming the library location:

    use lib '/local/path/to/lib';
