| Subject: | Ability to load other classes beside Template.pm |
The problem i'm trying to solve is, that i want to get Catalyst::View::TT
to use Template::HTML because i'm tired of writing
[% foo | html %]
[% bar | html %]
[% baz | html %]
all the time. The attached patch introduces a new configuration variable
called TEMPLATE_CLASS which one can set to "Template::HTML" for example.
