NAME
Data::Section::Simple - Read data from __DATA__
SYNOPSIS
use Data::Section::Simple qw(get_data_section);
# Functional interface -- reads from caller package __DATA__
my $all = get_data_section; # All data in hash reference
my $foo = get_data_section('foo.html');
# OO - allows reading from other packages
my $reader = Data::Section::Simple->new($package);
my $all = $reader->get_data_section;
__DATA__
@@ foo.html
<html>
<body>Hello</body>
</html>

[% IF true %]

[% END %]DESCRIPTION
Data::Section::Simple is a simple module to extract data drom __DATA__ section of the file.
LIMITATIONS
As the name suggests, it's a very simple version of what Data::Section does. If you want more functionalities such as merging data sections or changing header patterns, use Data::Section instead.
This module does not implement caching (yet) which means in every get_data_section or get_data_section($name) seeks and reads the data section every time it's called. If you want to avoid doing so, you should implement caching in your own caller code.
