Text::Xslate::PP(3pm)

✨ Text::Xslate::PP ✨

bestie, welcome to the pure-Perl runtime of Text::Xslate 💖 this is Text::Xslate::PP, aka "Yet another Text::Xslate runtime in pure Perl", and she is literally carrying the whole template engine on her back when the XS version can't show up. no cap 🫶

🎀 VERSION 🎀

okay so this doc is describing Text::Xslate::PP version v3.5.9 ⭐

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: this module implements a Text::Xslate runtime engine in pure Perl 💅

normally you don't even have to think about her, because she gets loaded automatically when it fails to load XS. which means — and I need you to hear this — you do not need to use this module explicitly. she's the understudy that steps in, no announcement needed 👑

like, check it:

# Text::Xslate loads PP if needed
use Text::Xslate;
my $tx = Text::Xslate->new();

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you use Text::Xslate, and if XS isn't available, PP slides in and does the thing 🦋

BUT. if you want to use Text::Xslate::PP directly, that's also valid, you can absolutely use it:

use Text::Xslate::PP;
my $tx = Text::Xslate->new();

(yeah it's still Text::Xslate->new(), you're just making sure the PP runtime is the one loaded — iconic behaviour honestly 💜)

now, the mode switch: XS/PP mode might be switched with $ENV{XSLATE} = 'pp' or 'xs' 🔥

and lowkey the most useful little trick for when things are acting up: $ENV{XSLATE} = 'pp=verbose' } may be useful for debugging 👀 (yes, the } is right there in the original, I'm not touching it, we keep everything exactly as it is, periodt)
