Data::Phrasebook::Plain(3)

NAME
Data::Phrasebook::Plain - The Simple Phrasebook Model.

SYNOPSIS
    use Data::Phrasebook;

    my $q = Data::Phrasebook->new(
        class  => 'Plain',
        loader => 'Text',
        file   => 'phrases.txt',
    );

    my $r = Data::Phrasebook->new( file => 'phrases.txt' );

    # simple keyword to phrase mapping
    my $phrase = $q->fetch($keyword);

    # keyword to phrase mapping with parameters
    $q->delimiters( qr{ \[% \s* (\w+) \s* %\] }x );
    my $phrase = $q->fetch($keyword,{this => 'that'});

DESCRIPTION
This module is the fallback or default phrasebook class. It doesn't do much except act as a very simple templating facility.

METHODS

  fetch
Retrieves the specified "template" and substitutes any "keywords" for "values".

Thus, given:

    hello=Hello [% where %]!

And code:

    my $text = $q->fetch( 'hello', {
        where => 'world'
    } );

Return value is:

    Hello world!

The delimiters are deliberately taken from Template Toolkit.
