Dear Monks,

My little template programming excersize is getting a more compact solution.

Now I should find a way to substitute a simple function call by using a predefined perl program block. like #define foo(bar)... in C language does. Substitution seems to be mandatory because the block needs to see all local variables.

The block I should simplify is this.

$_ = $input;
template::generate(state $compiled //= eval(template::translate()) || 
+die $@);
$output = $_;

The statement I would like to use instead is this.

template::use($input, $output);

Unfortinately the eval() needs to exist in the calling source. It can not be moved to the class method.
