VERSION

       version 0.08

SYNOPSIS

           use Any::Template::ProcessDir;

           # Process templates and generate result files in a single directory
           #
           my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
               dir => '/path/to/dir',
               process_text => sub {
                   my $template = Any::Template->new( Backend => '...', String => $_[0] );
                   $template->process({ ... });
               }
           );
           $pd->process_dir();

           # Process templates and generate result files to a separate directory
           #
           my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
               source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
               dest_dir   => '/path/to/dest/dir',
               process_file => sub {
                   my $file = $_[0];
                   # do something with $file, return content
               }
           );
           $pd->process_dir();

DESCRIPTION

       Recursively processes a directory of templates, generating a set of result files in the same directory or
       in a parallel directory. Each file in the source directory may be template-processed, copied, or ignored
       depending on its pathname.

CONSTRUCTOR

   Specifying directory/directories
       •   If you want to generate the result files in the same directory as the templates, just specify dir.

               my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
                   dir => '/path/to/dir',
                   ...
               );

       •   If you want to generate the result files in a separate directory from the templates, specify
           source_dir and dest_dir.

               my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
                   source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
                   dest_dir => '/path/to/dest/dir',
                   ...
               );

   Specifying how to process templates
       process_file
           A code reference that takes the full template filename and the "Any::Template::ProcessDir" object as
           arguments, and returns the result string. This can use Any::Template or another method altogether. By
           default it calls "process_text" on the contents of the file.

       process_text
           A code reference that takes the template text and the "Any::Template::ProcessDir" object as
           arguments, and returns the result string. This can use Any::Template or another method altogether.

   Optional parameters
       dir_create_mode
           Permissions mode to use when creating destination directories. Defaults to 0775. No effect if you are
           using a single directory.

       file_create_mode
           Permissions mode to use when creating destination files. Defaults to 0444 (read-only), so that
           destination files are not accidentally edited.

       ignore_files
           Coderef which takes a full pathname and returns true if the file should be ignored. By default, all
           files will be considered.

       readme_filename
           Name of a README file to generate in the destination directory - defaults to "README". No file will
           be generated if you pass undef or if you are using a single directory.

       template_file_suffix
           Suffix of template files in source directory. Defaults to ".src". This will be removed from the
           destination file name.

           Any file in the source directory that does not have this suffix (or "ignore_file_suffix") will simply
           be copied to the destination.

METHODS

       process_dir
           Process the directory. If using multiple directories, the destination directory will be removed
           completely and recreated, to eliminate any old files from previous processing.
