Using YAML with Template Toolkit

YAML provides a means of storing arbitrarily complex data structures. It also permits easy human hack^Wediting.

This code snippet passes the result of loading a YAML file through a TT template, allowing you to quickly see the results.

Uses include trying out features of Template Toolkit, template debugging, quick report generation.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use YAML qw/LoadFile/;
use Template;

my $tt = Template->new;

$tt->process($ARGV[1], LoadFile($ARGV[0])) or die $tt->error;

You can also use Template::Plugin::YAML directly from TT code: `[% USE YAML %] [% YAML.dump(variable) %] [% YAML.dump_html(variable) %] [% value = YAML.undump(yaml_string) %] [% YAML.dumpfile(filename, variable) %] [% value = YAML.undumpfile(filename) %]` [download] -- Randal L.
