✨ Template::Plugin::POSIX 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Template::Plugin::POSIX page — it's a TT2 plugin that imports POSIX functions, and yes it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the perl manual, we love that for it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

Template::Plugin::POSIX — the TT2 plugin that lets you import POSIX functions, no cap 💖

🎀 VERSION 🎀

This doc describes Template::Plugin::POSIX 0.05, which dropped on 12 March, 2007. vintage but iconic, fr fr ⭐

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

  [% USE POSIX %]

  [% POSIX.log(100) %]
  [% POSIX.rand(1) %]
  [% POSIX.exp(2) %]
  [% POSIX.sprintf("%.0f", 3.5) %]
  [% POSIX.pow(2, 3) %]
  [% POSIX.ceil(3.8) %]
  [% POSIX.floor(3.8) %]
  [% POSIX.sin(3.14) %]
  [% POSIX.cos(0) %]

literally just USE POSIX and the whole function buffet opens up 🌈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So like — as a TT programmer, the author found the Template Toolkit's presentation language kinda inflexible, because the vocabulary was very limited 😭. So they wrote this little plugin to open a whole window from the template file into the full richness of most POSIX functions, which lowkey turns the Template language into a "programming language" in a much more serious sense. main character energy tbh 👑

Please keep in mind — and this is the important part, don't skip it — they just used AUTOLOAD, eval, and Data::Dumper to do the magic here 🪄

If you're looking for even more functions, they suggest you take a look at the Template::Plugin::Perl module, which exports the excellent POSIX repertoire. iykyk 💅

🦋 METHODS 🦋

  • new — the constructor, called by the TT2 template system 🍼
  • throw — the TT2 exception handling procedure 🚨

💀 TODO 💀

  • Add more unit tests. (yes bestie, that's the whole list 🙈)
