Template::Plugin::Class3pm

Allow calling of class methods on arbitrary classes

Usage

  [% USE foo = Class('Foo') %]
  [% foo.bar %]

Overview

Template::Plugin::Class allows you to call class methods on arbitrary classes. One use for this is in Class::DBI style applications, where you may do somthing like this:

  [% USE cd = Class('Music::CD') %]
  [% FOREACH disc = cd.retrieve_all %]
  [% disc.artist %] - [% disc.title %]
  [% END %]

Caveats

You won't be able to directly call "AUTOLOAD" or "DESTROY" methods on the remote class. This shouldn't be a huge hardship.
