Debbugs::Text(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Debbugs::Text — general routines for text templates, bestie 💖 (it's a 3pm perl module page, so like, it's for the perl girlies 🐪)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the vibe in code form:

use Debbugs::Text qw(:templates);
print fill_in_template(template => 'cgi/foo');

that's it. that's the whole first impression. iconic. 👑

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so Debbugs::Text is a replacement for parts of common.pl 🫶. the way this works is: the subroutines living in common.pl are gonna be gradually phased out, one by one, and replaced with equivalent (or honestly better 👀) functionality over here. so like, don't grieve the old ones too hard, they're getting glow-ups ✨

💀 BUGS 💀

None known.

(no cap. literally not a single one. we're thriving 🧚)

🦋 fill_in_template 🦋

the moment you've all been waiting for:

print fill_in_template(template => 'template_name',
                       variables => \%variables,
                       language  => '..'
                      );

what it does: reads a template from disk (but only if it hasn't already been read in — she remembers, she's efficient like that 💅) and then fills the template in. that's the whole job. she does it well. periodt. 🔥

okay bestie that's the whole page, mwah 💖 stay slay, go fill in some templates 🌈
