Hello folks! Don't know if it's just me or documentation of HTML::Template::Extension isn't good. Eitherway, I can't figure out how to write an extenstion for it, that I need for my project. I work with CGI::Application, and I wan't to be able to use (reusable) objects in my templates. For instance : <tmpl_plugin name="SomeName(param1, param2)"> My filter would find SomeName module (Prefix such as MyApp::Plugin::SomeName) make an instance of it and call method - say named run. And place returned value instead of this tag. Think of it as another template file that is included but it has some processing ... That way I can create one module/plugin and use it througth whole site/application. If I don't figure this out soon - I will have to give a shot to HTML::Template::Expr and register a function with it (<tmpl_var name="plugin(SomeName, param1, param2)">). Thanks.
