Rex::T...ate::NG(3pm)

💖 Rex::T...ate::NG 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Rex::Template::NG — that's the module name, section 3pm, and the docs live under User Contributed Perl Documentation. if you saw the header Rex::T...ate::NG(3pm) up top, yep, that's her. she's the glow-up replacement for the original Rex::Template, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're passing notes in class. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Rex::Template::NG — a simple template engine, and yes, she is replacing Rex::Template. out with the old, in with the iconic. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole vibe in one snippet, no notes:

use Rex::Template::NG;

my $template = Rex::Template->new;

print $template->parse($content, \%template_vars);
print $template->parse($content, @template_vars);

that's it, that's the whole serve. 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this module is intended as a replacement for the original Rex::Template — meaning its interface and its syntax are identical. same energy, same API, no relearning required. periodt.

the main differences, in a little list because we love a list:

• she produces "more correct" output in the case when comping is required 💅
• she gives better diagnostics when errors happen — way more helpful, way less cryptic, she literally tells you what went wrong 😭

and the recommendation, straight up: use this module instead of Rex::Template. that's the tea. 🔥

---

✨ DIAGNOSTICS ✨

when something goes sideways, she does not leave you on read. here's what she does:

• she prints the whole template as "INFO" level messages 📢
• then she prints a message about the problem itself, with its context and line number 🔍

the message looks a lil something like this:

Unknown variable name $var on code line: ... line: ...

(the ... bits get filled in with the real context and the real line number, bestie — that's the whole point of the upgrade.) ⭐

---

✨ CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT ✨

this section is literally empty. nothing to configure, no environment variables, no drama. 🦋

---

✨ DEPENDENCIES ✨

also empty. she's low maintenance, we love a self-sufficient queen. 💜

---

✨ INCOMPATIBILITIES ✨

empty too! no incompatibilities listed. she plays nice. 🌸

---

✨ BUGS AND LIMITATIONS ✨

nothing documented here. she's not perfect (who is), but no bugs or limitations made it onto the record. 🙈

---

that's the whole page, bestie. go forth and template responsibly. 🌈
