NAME

Text::UberText::Modules::Variables - UberText Variables Modules

SYNOPSIS

 [uber.var name:(fruit) value:(apple)]

 The value of "fruit" is [uber.var name:(fruit)]

 We are resetting "fruit" to [uber.var name:(fruit) value:(pear) print]

DESCRIPTION

The Variables module creates an internal table of variables that can be manipulated within an UberText document. It is also possible to set and retrieve variables directly from the Variables module, or other perl modules.

METHODS

$value=$variable->variable($varname,$value);

Sets the variable $varname to $value. Also returns the current value of $varname.

DOCUMENT COMMANDS

[uber.var name:(varname)]

The name command identifies a variable in the internal table. To change the value of the variable, you need to use the value option. The output from this tag is the value of the variable.

[uber.var name:(varname) value:(value) print]

This is an example of using the name command with the value option. There is no output from this tag unless the print option is also specified in the tag.
