Subject says it all - what if I have a string that I'd like to process
using Petal? How do I do so? It appears that Petal only supports
processing external files?
What if my template was stored in a database, then retrieved with
the DBI into a variable?
It seems that it would be extremely useful to be able to do something
along the lines of:
# or assume this came from some other datasource, like a database
$input = '
<html xmlns:tal="http://purl.org/petal/1.0/";>
<body tal:content="bar">Dummy Content</body>
</html>
';
# obviously, this does not work:
$template = Petal->new( $input );
$output = $template->process ( bar => 'BAZ' );
print $output;
Which would print:
<html>
<body>BAZ</body>
</html>
Did I miss what I'm looking for in the docs somewhere? Or if not, is there
some specific reason why processing a string rather than a file is not made
possible via Petal?
Many thanks!
