HTML::Template::Compiled::Classic (3pm)

    use HTML::Template::Compiled::Classic compatible => 1;
    my $htcc = HTML::Template::Compiled::Classic->new(
        # usual parameters for HTML::Template::Compiled
    );

This class provides features which can not be used together with features from HTML::Template::Compiled. These are:

dots in TMPL_VARs

If you want to use <TMPL_VAR NAME="some.var.with.dots"> you cannot use the dot-feature <TMPL_VAR NAME="some.hash.keys"> at the same time.

Subref variables

In HTML::Template, the following works: my $ht = HTML::Template->new( scalarref => \"<TMPL_VAR foo>", ); $ht->param(foo => sub { return "bar" }); print $ht->output; # prints 'bar' This doesn't work in HTML::Template::Compiled (in the past it did, but as of \s-1HTC\s0 version 0.70 it won't any more, sorry).

compiler_class

returns HTML::Template::Compiled::Compiler::Classic

validate_var

gets the var name (parsed out of \*(C`NAME="foo.bar"\*(C' and returns if the string is a valid var name
