# HTML::Template::Compiled::Lazy(3pm)

Lazy Loading for HTML::Template::Compiled

## NAME

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

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use HTML::Template::Compiled::Lazy;
    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_INCLUDE"`s. 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.
