NAME

HTML::Template::Compiled::Lazy - Lazy Loading for HTML::Template::Compiled

SYNOPSIS

my $htcl = HTML::Template::Compiled::Lazy->new(
# usual parameters for HTML::Template::Compiled
);
$htcl->param(...);
# file wasn't compiled yet
print $htcl->output; # now compile and output!

DESCRIPTION

This class does not compile templates before calling output(). This includes TMPL_INCLUDEs. This can be useful in CGI environments. If your template has got a lot of includes HTML::Template::Compiled will compile all of them, even if they aren't needed because they are never reached (in a TMPL_IF, for example).

HTML::Template::Compiled::Lazy also won't complain if the file does not exist - it will complain when you call output(), though.
