NAME

       MasonX::ProcessDir - Process a directory of Mason 2 templates

VERSION

       version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

	   use MasonX::ProcessDir;

	   # Generate result files in the same directory as the templates
	   #
	   my $pd = MasonX::ProcessDir->new(
	       dir => '/path/to/dir'
	   );
	   $pd->process_dir();

	   # Generate result files in a separate directory
	   #
	   my $pd = MasonX::ProcessDir->new(
	       source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
	       dest_dir   => '/path/to/dest/dir'
	   );
	   $pd->process_dir();

DESCRIPTION

       Recursively processes a directory of Mason 2 templates, generating a set of result files in the same directory or in a parallel directory.

       Every file with suffix ".mc" will be processed, and the results placed in a file of the same name without the suffix. ".mi", autobase and
       dhandler files will be used by Mason when processing the templates but will not generate files themselves.

       For example, if the source directory contains

	  Base.mc
	  httpd.conf.mc
	  proxy.conf.mc
	  etc/crontab.mc
	  blah.mi
	  somefile.txt

       and we run

	   my $pd = MasonX::ProcessDir->new(
	       source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
	       dest_dir   => '/path/to/dest/dir'
	   );
	   $pd->process_dir();

       then afterwards the destination directory will contain files

	   httpd.conf
	   proxy.conf
	   etc/crontab
	   somefile.txt

       where foo and bar are the results of processing foo.mc and bar.mc through Mason. Base.mc and blah.mi may be used during Mason processing
       but won't generate result files themselves.

       This class is a convenience extension of Any::Template::ProcessDir.

CONSTRUCTOR

   Specifying directory/directories
       o   If you want to generate the result files in the same directory as the templates, just specify dir.

	       my $pd = MasonX::ProcessDir->new(
		   dir => '/path/to/dir',
		   ...
	       );

       o   If you want to generate the result files in a separate directory from the templates, specify source_dir and dest_dir.

	       my $pd = MasonX::ProcessDir->new(
		   source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
		   source_dir => '/path/to/dest/dir',
		   ...
	       );

   Mason options
       mason_options
	   An optional hash of options to the Mason interpreter. For example, the default Mason data directory will be ".mason" under the source
	   directory, but you can override this:

	       mason_options => { data_dir => '/path/to/data/dir' }

   Options inherited from Any::Template::ProcessDir
       See Any::Template::ProcessDir for other options, such as

	   dir_create_mode
	   file_create_mode
	   readme_filename
