=head1 NAME
Template::Config - Factory module for instantiating other TT2 modules
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Template::Config;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module implements various methods for loading and instantiating
other modules that comprise the Template Toolkit. It provides a consistent
way to create toolkit components and allows custom modules to be used in
place of the regular ones.
Package variables such as C<$STASH>, C<$SERVICE>, C<$CONTEXT>, etc., contain
the default module/package name for each component (L<Template::Stash>,
L<Template::Service> and L<Template::Context>, respectively) and are used by
the various factory methods (L<stash()>, L<service()> and L<context()>) to
load the appropriate module. Changing these package variables will cause
subsequent calls to the relevant factory method to load and instantiate an
object from the new class.
=head1 PUBLIC METHODS
=head2 load($module)
Load a module using Perl's L<require()>. Any occurences of 'C<::>' in the module
name are be converted to 'C</>', and 'C<.pm>' is appended. Returns 1 on success or
undef on error. Use C<$class-E<gt>error()> to examine the error string.
=head2 preload()
This method preloads all the other C<Template::*> modules that are likely to
be used. It is called automatically by the L<Template> module when running
under mod_perl (C<$ENV{MOD_PERL}> is set).
=head2 parser(\%config)
Instantiate a new parser object of the class whose name is denoted by
the package variable C<$PARSER> (default: L<Template::Parser>). Returns
a reference to a newly instantiated parser object or undef on error.
=head2 provider(\%config)
Instantiate a new template provider object (default: L<Template::Provider>).
Returns an object reference or undef on error, as above.
=head2 plugins(\%config)
Instantiate a new plugins provider object (default: L<Template::Plugins>).
Returns an object reference or undef on error, as above.
=head2 filters(\%config)
Instantiate a new filter provider object (default: L<Template::Filters>).
Returns an object reference or undef on error, as above.
=head2 stash(\%vars)
Instantiate a new stash object (L<Template::Stash> or L<Template::Stash::XS>
depending on the default set at installation time) using the contents of the
optional hash array passed by parameter as initial variable definitions.
Returns an object reference or undef on error, as above.
=head2 context(\%config)
Instantiate a new template context object (default: L<Template::Context>).
Returns an object reference or undef on error, as above.
=head2 service(\%config)
Instantiate a new template service object (default: L<Template::Service>).
Returns an object reference or undef on error, as above.
=head2 iterator(\%config)
Instantiate a new template iterator object (default: L<Template::Iterator>).
Returns an object reference or undef on error, as above.
=head2 constants(\%config)
Instantiate a new namespace handler for compile time constant folding
(default: L<Template::Namespace::Constants>). Returns an object reference or
undef on error, as above.
=head2 instdir($dir)
Returns the root directory of the Template Toolkit installation under
which optional components are installed. Any relative directory specified
as an argument will be appended to the returned directory.
# e.g. returns '/usr/local/tt2'
my $ttroot = Template::Config->instdir()
|| die "$Template::Config::ERROR\n";
# e.g. returns '/usr/local/tt2/templates'
my $template = Template::Config->instdir('templates')
|| die "$Template::Config::ERROR\n";
Returns C<undef> and sets C<$Template::Config::ERROR> appropriately if the
optional components of the Template Toolkit have not been installed.
