133 | .SH "NAME" |
134 | Template::Stash::Context \- Experimetal stash allowing list/scalar context definition |
135 | .SH "SYNOPSIS" |
136 | .IX Header "SYNOPSIS" |
137 | .Vb 2 |
138 | \& use Template; |
139 | \& use Template::Stash::Context; |
140 | .Ve |
141 | .PP |
142 | .Vb 2 |
143 | \& my $stash = Template::Stash::Context\->new(\e%vars); |
144 | \& my $tt2 = Template\->new({ STASH => $stash }); |
145 | .Ve |
146 | .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
147 | .IX Header "DESCRIPTION" |
148 | This is an alternate stash object which includes a patch from |
149 | Craig Barratt to implement various new virtual methods to allow |
150 | dotted template variable to denote if object methods and subroutines |
151 | should be called in scalar or list context. It adds a little overhead |
152 | to each stash call and I'm a little wary of applying that to the core |
153 | default stash without investigating the effects first. So for now, |
154 | it's implemented as a separate stash module which will allow us to |
155 | test it out, benchmark it and switch it in or out as we require. |
156 | .PP |
157 | This is what Craig has to say about it: |
158 | .PP |
159 | Here's a better set of features for the core. Attached is a new version |
160 | of Stash.pm (based on \s-1TT2\s0.02) that: |
161 | .PP |
162 | * supports the special op \*(L"scalar\*(R" that forces scalar context on |
163 | function calls, eg: |
164 | .PP |
165 | .Vb 1 |
166 | \& cgi.param("foo").scalar |
167 | .Ve |
168 | .PP |
169 | calls cgi.param(\*(L"foo\*(R") in scalar context (unlike my wimpy |
170 | scalar op from last night). Array context is the default. |
171 | .PP |
172 | With non-function operands, scalar behaves like the perl |
173 | version (eg: no-op for scalar, size for arrays, etc). |
174 | .PP |
175 | * supports the special op \*(L"ref\*(R" that behaves like the perl ref. |
176 | If applied to a function the function is not called. Eg: |
177 | .PP |
178 | .Vb 1 |
179 | \& cgi.param("foo").ref |
180 | .Ve |
181 | .PP |
182 | does *not* call cgi.param and evaluates to \*(L"\s-1CODE\s0\*(R". Similarly, |
183 | \&\s-1HASH\s0.ref, \s-1ARRAY\s0.ref return what you expect. |
184 | .PP |
185 | * adds a new scalar and list op called \*(L"array\*(R" that is a no-op for |
186 | arrays and promotes scalars to one-element arrays. |
187 | .PP |
188 | * allows scalar ops to be applied to arrays and hashes in place, |
189 | eg: \s-1\fIARRAY\s0.repeat\fR\|(3) repeats each element in place. |
190 | .PP |
191 | * allows list ops to be applied to scalars by promoting the scalars |
192 | to one-element arrays (like an implicit \*(L"array\*(R"). So you can |
193 | do things like \s-1SCALAR\s0.size, \s-1SCALAR\s0.join and get a useful result. |
194 | .PP |
195 | This also means you can now use x.0 to safely get the first element |
196 | whether x is an array or scalar. |
197 | .PP |
198 | The new Stash.pm passes the \s-1TT2\s0.02 test suite. But I haven't tested the |
199 | new features very much. One nagging implementation problem is that the |
200 | \&\*(L"scalar\*(R" and \*(L"ref\*(R" ops have higher precedence than user variable names. |
