# Test::Inline::Content::Simple(3pm)

Simple templating Content Handler

## NAME

Test::Inline::Content::Simple - Simple templating Content Handler

## VERSION

version 2.214

## SYNOPSIS

```
  In your inline2test.tpl
  ----------------------
  #!/usr/bin/perl -w

  use strict;
  use Test::More [% plan %];
  $| = 1;

  [% tests %]

  1;
```

## DESCRIPTION

It is relatively common to want to customise the contents of the generated test files to set up custom environment things on an all-scripts basis, rather than file by file (using =begin SETUP blocks).

`"Test::Inline::Content::Simple"` lets you use a very simple Template Toolkit style template to define this information.

It contains only two tags, `"plan"` and `"tests"`.

The `"plan"` tag will be inserted as either `"tests ="` 123\> or `'no_plan'`.

The `"tests"` tag will be replaced by the actual testing code.

## METHODS

### new $filename

Manually create a new `"Test::Inline::Content::Simple"` object. Takes as parameter a single filename which should contain the template code.

Returns a new `"Test::Inline::Content::Simple"` object, or `"undef"` on error.

### template

The `"template"` accessor returns the template content for the object

### process $Inline, $Script

The `"process"` method is unchanged from `"Test::Inline::Content"`.
