Text::TemplateFill 1.7

Text::TemplateFill is a Perl module for formatting of reports with templates from files, use for I18N.
SYNOPSIS
use Text::TemplateFill;
my $tmpl = new Text::TemplateFill;
$tmpl->SetOpt(BaseDir => "paras/$Country");
$tmpl->SetOpt(ErrorFunction => &LogMsg, LineTerminator => "rn");
# Must read all the files before printing a paragraph
$tmpl->ReadPara(Header, "head");
$tmpl->ReadPara(FirstPage);
$tmpl->ReadPara(Footer);
$tmpl->ReadPara(Body);
$tmpl->SetOpt(StartPageTag => Header);
my ($a, $b, $cn, $d) = (a, letter b, ACME Inc, 4.92);
$tmpl->BindVars(NameOfA => $a, B => $b, CustomerName => $cn, VarD => $d);
print $tmpl->GeneratePara(FirstPage); # Optional - since we want a specific 1st page
print $tmpl->GeneratePara(Body);
... $a = ...; $b = ...
print $tmpl->GeneratePara(Body);
print $tmpl->CompletePage;
Main features:
- I18N formatting support, eg: decimal comma in France
- I18N date support
- Automatic page breaks
- Variables are registered, not passed to each GeneratePara
- Items of text (paragraphs) that are output are initially read from a text file.
- Calculations may be defined as part of the paragraph definition in the file.
- Optional use of your own Error reporting code
- Variables can be formatted by the full power of printf
- Automatic page/paragraph counting
- Output is a string that may be then written anywhere
