=head1 NAME

Text::Template::Preprocess - Expand template text with embedded Perl

=head1 VERSION

version 1.51

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use Text::Template::Preprocess;

my $t = Text::Template::Preprocess->new(...);  # identical to Text::Template

# Fill in template, but preprocess each code fragment with pp().
 my $result = $t->fill_in(..., PREPROCESSOR => \&pp);

my $old_pp = $t->preprocessor(\&new_pp);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Text::Template::Preprocess> provides a new C<PREPROCESSOR> option to
C<fill_in>.  If the C<PREPROCESSOR> option is supplied, it must be a
reference to a preprocessor subroutine.  When filling out a template,
C<Text::Template::Preprocessor> will use this subroutine to preprocess
the program fragment prior to evaluating the code.

The preprocessor subroutine will be called repeatedly, once for each
program fragment.  The program fragment will be in C<$_>.  The
subroutine should modify the contents of C<$_> and return.
C<Text::Template::Preprocess> will then execute contents of C<$_> and
insert the result into the appropriate part of the template.

C<Text::Template::Preprocess> objects also support a utility method,
C<preprocessor()>, which sets a new preprocessor for the object.  This
preprocessor is used for all subsequent calls to C<fill_in> except
where overridden by an explicit C<PREPROCESSOR> option.
C<preprocessor()> returns the previous default preprocessor function,
or undefined if there wasn't one.  When invoked with no arguments,
C<preprocessor()> returns the object's current default preprocessor
function without changing it.

In all other respects, C<Text::Template::Preprocess> is identical to
C<Text::Template>.

=head1 WHY?

One possible purpose:  If your files contain a lot of JavaScript, like
this:

Plain text here...
        { perl code }
        <script language=JavaScript>
     	      if (br== "n3") { 
	  	  // etc.
	      }
        </script>
        { more perl code }
        More plain text...

You don't want C<Text::Template> to confuse the curly braces in the
JavaScript program with executable Perl code.  One strategy:

sub quote_scripts {
          s(<script(.*?)</script>)(q{$1})gsi;
        }

Then use C<PREPROCESSOR =E<gt> \&quote_scripts>.  This will transform
