textproc/p5-Text-Template 1.61nb4 NetBSD

This is a library for generating form letters, building HTML pages, or filling in templates generally. A `template' is a piece of text that has little Perl programs embedded in it here and there. When you `fill in' a template, you evaluate the little programs and replace them with their values. Here's an example of a template:

    Dear {$title} {$lastname},

    It has come to our attention that you are delinquent in your
    {$monthname\[$last\_paid\_month\]} payment.  Please remit
    ${sprintf("%.2f", $amount)} immediately, or your patellae may
    be needlessly endangered.

The result of filling in this template is a string, which might look something like this:

    Dear Mr. Gates,

    It has come to our attention that you are delinquent in your
    February payment.  Please remit
    $392.12 immediately, or your patellae may
    be needlessly endangered.
