<p>
This module defines an object class whose instances represent compiled
template documents. The <a href="../../modules/Template/Parser.html">Template::Parser</a> module creates a
<code>Template::Document</code> instance to encapsulate a template as it
is compiled into Perl code.
</p>
<p>
The constructor method, <a href="#method_new">new()</a>, expects a
reference to a hash array containing the <code>BLOCK</code>,
<code>DEFBLOCKS</code> and <code>METADATA</code> items.
</p>
<p>
The <code>BLOCK</code> item should contain a reference to a Perl
subroutine or a textual representation of Perl code, as generated by the
<a href="../../modules/Template/Parser.html">Template::Parser</a>
module. This is then evaluated into a subroutine reference using
<code>eval()</code>.
</p>
<p>
The <code>DEFLOCKS</code> item should reference a hash array containing
further named <code>BLOCK</code>s which may be defined in the template.
The keys represent <code>BLOCK</code> names and the values should be
subroutine references or text strings of Perl code as per the main
<code>BLOCK</code> item.
</p>
<p>
The <code>METADATA</code> item should reference a hash array of metadata
items relevant to the document.
</p>
<p>
The <a href="#method_process">process()</a> method can then be called on
the instantiated <code>Template::Document</code> object, passing a
reference to a <a href="../../modules/Template/Context.html">Template::Context</a> object as the first parameter. This will
install any locally defined blocks (<code>DEFBLOCKS</code>) in the
<code>BLOCKS</code> cache in the context (via a call to <a href="../../modules/Template/Context.html#method_visit">visit()</a>) so that
they may be subsequently resolved by the context. The main
<code>BLOCK</code> subroutine is then executed, passing the context
reference on as a parameter. The text returned from the template
subroutine is then returned by the <a
href="#method_process">process()</a> method, after calling the context <a
href="../../modules/Template/Context.html#method_leave">leave()</a>
method to permit cleanup and de-registration of named <code>BLOCKS</code>
previously installed.
</p>
<p>
An <code>AUTOLOAD</code> method provides access to the
<code>METADATA</code> items for the document. The <a href="../../modules/Template/Service.html">Template::Service</a> module installs
a reference to the main <code>Template::Document</code> object in the
stash as the <code>template</code> variable. This allows metadata items
to be accessed from within templates, including <code>PRE_PROCESS</code>
templates.
</p>
<p>
header:
</p>
<pre><html>
<head>
<title>[% template.title %]
</head>
...</pre>
<p>
<code>Template::Document</code> objects are usually created by the <a
href="../../modules/Template/Parser.html">Template::Parser</a> but can
be manually instantiated or sub-classed to provide custom template
components.

Constructor method which accept a reference to a hash array containing
the structure as shown in this example:

<pre>$doc = Template::Document->new({
BLOCK => sub { # some perl code; return $some_text },
DEFBLOCKS => {
header => sub { # more perl code; return $some_text },
footer => sub { # blah blah blah; return $some_text },
},
METADATA => {
author => 'Andy Wardley',
version => 3.14,
}
}) || die $Template::Document::ERROR;</pre>
<p>
<code>BLOCK</code> and <code>DEFBLOCKS</code> items may be expressed as
references to Perl subroutines or as text strings containing Perl
subroutine definitions, as is generated by the <a href="../../modules/Template/Parser.html">Template::Parser</a> module. These are
evaluated into subroutine references using <code>eval()</code>.
</p>
<p>
Returns a new <code>Template::Document</code> object or
<code>undef</code> on error. The <a href="../../modules/Template/Base.html#method_error">error()</a> class method can be called, or the
<code>$ERROR</code> package variable inspected to retrieve the relevant
error message.

This package subroutine is provided to effect persistence of compiled
templates. If the <code>COMPILE_EXT</code> option (to indicate a file
extension for saving compiled templates) then the <a href="../../modules/Template/Parser.html">Template::Parser</a> module calls this
subroutine before calling the <a href="#method_new">new()</a>
constructor. At this stage, the parser has a representation of the
template as text strings containing Perl code. We can write that to a
file, enclosed in a small wrapper which will allow us to susequently
<code>require()</code> the file and have Perl parse and compile it into a
<code>Template::Document</code>. Thus we have persistence of compiled
templates.
