Template::Plugin::Procedural - Base class for procedural plugins
SYNOPSIS
package Template::Plugin::LWPSimple;
use base qw(Template::Plugin::Procedural);
use LWP::Simple; # exports 'get'
1;
[% USE LWPSimple %]
[% LWPSimple.get("http://www.tt2.org/") %]
DESCRIPTION
"Template::Plugin::Procedural" is a base class for Template Toolkit plugins that causes defined subroutines to be called directly rather
than as a method. Essentially this means that subroutines will not receive the class name or object as its first argument.
This is most useful when creating plugins for modules that normally work by exporting subroutines that do not expect such additional
arguments.
Despite the fact that subroutines will not be called in an OO manner, inheritance still function as normal. A class that uses
"Template::Plugin::Procedural" can be subclassed and both subroutines defined in the subclass and subroutines defined in the original class
will be available to the Template Toolkit and will be called without the class/object argument.

Template::XML - XML plugins for the Template Toolkit
SYNOPSIS
[% USE XML;
dom = XML.dom('foo.xml');
xpath = XML.xpath('bar.xml');
simple = XML.simple('baz.xml');
rss = XML.simple('news.rdf');
%]
DESCRIPTION
The Template-XML distribution provides a number of Template Toolkit plugin modules for working with XML.
The Template::Plugin::XML module is a front-end to the various other XML plugin modules. Through this you can access XML files and direc-
tories of XML files via the Template::Plugin::XML::File and Template::Plugin::XML::Directory modules (which subclass from the Tem-
plate::Plugin::File and Template::Plugin::Directory modules respectively). You can then create a Document Object Model (DOM) from an XML
file (Template::Plugin::XML::DOM), examine it using XPath queries (Template::Plugin::XML::XPath), turn it into a Perl data structure (Tem-
plate::Plugin::XML::Simple) or parse it as an RSS (RDF Site Summary) file.
The basic XML plugins were distributed as part of the Template Toolkit until version 2.15 released in May 2006. At this time they were
extracted into this separate Template-XML distribution and an alpha version of this Template::Plugin::XML front-end module was added.

ule. Grant McLean wrote the XML::Simple module. Clark Cooper and Larry Wall wrote the XML::Parser module. James Clark wrote the expat
