use Module::Starter qw(
Module::Starter::Simple
Module::Starter::Plugin::Template
Module::Starter::Plugin::CGIApp

VERSION
Version 0.01
DESCRIPTION
This module subclasses Module::Starter::Plugin::Template which in turn subclasses Module::Starter::Simple. This document only describes the methods which are overriden from those modules or are new.
METHODS
new ( %args )
This method calls the new supermethod from Module::Starter::Plugin::Template and then initializes the template store and renderer. (See templates and renderer below.)
create_distro ( %args )
This method works as advertised in Module::Starter.
create_MANIFEST_SKIP( )
This method creates a MANIFEST.SKIP file in the distribution's directory so that unneeded files can be skipped from inclusion in the distribution.
create_perlcriticrc( )
This method creates a perlcriticrc in the distribution's test directory so that the behavior of perl-critic.t can be modified.
create_tmpl( )
This method takes all the template files ending in .html (representing HTML::Template's and installs them into a directory under the distro tree. For instance if the distro was called Foo-Bar, the templates would be installed in lib/Foo/Bar/templates.
Note the files will just be copied over not rendered.
render( $template, \%options )
This method is subclassed from Module::Starter::Plugin::Template.
It is given an HTML::Template and options and returns the resulting document.
Data in the Module::Starter object which represents an array is transformed into an array of hashes with one key called $data_item in order to make it usable in an HTML::Template TMPL_LOOP.
renderer ( )
This method is subclassed from Module::Starter::Plugin::Template but doesn't do anything as the actual template is created by render in this implementation.
templates ( )
This method is subclassed from Module::Starter::Plugin::Template.
It reads in the template files and populates the object's templates attribute. The module template directory is found by checking the MODULE_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable and then the config option template_dir.
Changes_guts
Implements the creation of a Changes file.
MANIFEST_SKIP_guts
Implements the creation of a MANIFEST.SKIP file.
perlcriticrc_guts
Implements the creation of a perlcriticrc file.
cvsignore_guts
Implements the creation of a .cvsignore file.
t_guts
Implements the creation of test files.
tmpl_guts
Implements the creation of template files.
