=head1 NAME

HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot::Helpers - Add useful objects to your templates

=head1 VERSION

version 0.06

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot::Helpers;

Then in your template, you can do:

  <tmpl_var Number.format_currency(orderitem.price)>
  
=head1 DESCRIPTION

This helper class adds some useful objects to your Dot-enabled templates (see
L<HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot>).

=head2 Added objects

=over 4

=item Number

An extended Number::Format object. See L<Number::Format> for documentation.
Note that only the object oriented methods are supported here.

I've added several generic numerical methods. Most (well, all in this release)
are boolean methods, useful in C<< <tmpl_if>s >>. They are: 

=over 8

=item equals - test whether two numbers are equal (==)

=item le, lt, ge, gt - test how two numbers compare

(implemented with <=, <, >=, > respectively)

=back

The following is not yet implemented.

=item String

Adds generic string testing functions similar to the above:

=over 8

=item equals - test whether two strings are equal (eq)

=item le, lt, ge, gt - test how two strings compare lexically

=back
