TPAGE(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation TPAGE(1p)
NAME
Template::Tools::tpage - Process templates from command line
USAGE
tpage [ --define var=value ] file(s)
DESCRIPTION
The tpage script is a simple wrapper around the Template Toolkit processor. Files specified by name on the command line are processed in
turn by the template processor and the resulting output is sent to STDOUT and can be redirected accordingly. e.g.
tpage myfile > myfile.out
tpage header myfile footer > myfile.html
If no file names are specified on the command line then tpage will read STDIN for input.
The "--define" option can be used to set the values of template variables. e.g.
tpage --define author="Andy Wardley" skeleton.pm > MyModule.pm
See Template for general information about the Perl Template Toolkit and the template language and features.
