# fetch($name, \@args, $context)
#
# General purpose method for requesting instantiation of a plugin
# object.  The name of the plugin is passed as the first parameter.
# The internal FACTORY lookup table is consulted to retrieve the
# appropriate factory object or class name.  If undefined, the _load()
# method is called to attempt to load the module and return a factory
# class/object which is then cached for subsequent use.  A reference
# to the calling context should be passed as the third parameter.
# This is passed to the _load() class method.  The new() method is
# then called against the factory class name or prototype object to
# instantiate a new plugin object, passing any arguments specified by
# list reference as the second parameter.  e.g. where $factory is the
# class name 'MyClass', the new() method is called as a class method,
# $factory->new(...), equivalent to MyClass->new(...) .  Where
# $factory is a prototype object, the new() method is called as an
# object method, $myobject->new(...).  This latter approach allows
# plugins to act as Singletons, cache shared data, etc.  
#
# Returns a reference to a plugin, (undef, STATUS_DECLINE) to decline
# the request or ($error, STATUS_ERROR) on error.

=head1 NAME

Template::Plugins - Plugin provider module

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Template::Plugins;
    
    $plugin_provider = Template::Plugins->new(\%options);
    
    ($plugin, $error) = $plugin_provider->fetch($name, @args);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The C<Template::Plugins> module defines a provider class which can be used
to load and instantiate Template Toolkit plugin modules.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new(\%params) 

Constructor method which instantiates and returns a reference to a
C<Template::Plugins> object.  A reference to a hash array of configuration
items may be passed as a parameter.  These are described below.  

Note that the L<Template> front-end module creates a C<Template::Plugins>
provider, passing all configuration items.  Thus, the examples shown
below in the form:

    $plugprov = Template::Plugins->new({
        PLUGIN_BASE => 'MyTemplate::Plugin',
        LOAD_PERL   => 1,
        ...
    });

can also be used via the L<Template> module as:

    $ttengine = Template->new({
        PLUGIN_BASE => 'MyTemplate::Plugin',
        LOAD_PERL   => 1,
        ...
    });

as well as the more explicit form of:

    $plugprov = Template::Plugins->new({
        PLUGIN_BASE => 'MyTemplate::Plugin',
        LOAD_PERL   => 1,
        ...
    });
    
    $ttengine = Template->new({
        LOAD_PLUGINS => [ $plugprov ],
    });

=head2 fetch($name, @args)

Called to request that a plugin of a given name be provided. The relevant
module is first loaded (if necessary) and the
L<load()|Template::Plugin#load()> class method called to return the factory
class name (usually the same package name) or a factory object (a prototype).
The L<new()|Template::Plugin#new()> method is then called as a class or object
method against the factory, passing all remaining parameters.

Returns a reference to a new plugin object or C<($error, STATUS_ERROR)>
on error.  May also return C<(undef, STATUS_DECLINED)> to decline to
serve the request.  If C<TOLERANT> is set then all errors will be
returned as declines.

=head1 CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

The following list summarises the configuration options that can be provided
to the C<Template::Plugins> L<new()> constructor.  Please consult 
L<Template::Manual::Config> for further details and examples of each 
configuration option in use.

=head2 PLUGINS

The L<PLUGINS|Template::Manual::Config#PLUGINS> option can be used to provide
a reference to a hash array that maps plugin names to Perl module names.

    my $plugins = Template::Plugins->new({
        PLUGINS => {
            cgi => 'MyOrg::Template::Plugin::CGI',
            foo => 'MyOrg::Template::Plugin::Foo',
            bar => 'MyOrg::Template::Plugin::Bar',
        },  
    }); 

=head2 PLUGIN_BASE

If a plugin is not defined in the L<PLUGINS|Template::Manual::Config#PLUGINS>
hash then the L<PLUGIN_BASE|Template::Manual::Config#PLUGIN_BASE> is used to
attempt to construct a correct Perl module name which can be successfully
loaded.

    # single value PLUGIN_BASE
    my $plugins = Template::Plugins->new({
        PLUGIN_BASE => 'MyOrg::Template::Plugin',
    });

    # multiple value PLUGIN_BASE
    my $plugins = Template::Plugins->new({
        PLUGIN_BASE => [   'MyOrg::Template::Plugin',
                           'YourOrg::Template::Plugin'  ],
    });

=head2 LOAD_PERL

The L<LOAD_PERL|Template::Manual::Config#LOAD_PERL> option can be set to allow
you to load regular Perl modules (i.e. those that don't reside in the
C<Template::Plugin> or another user-defined namespace) as plugins.

If a plugin cannot be loaded using the
L<PLUGINS|Template::Manual::Config#PLUGINS> or
L<PLUGIN_BASE|Template::Manual::Config#PLUGIN_BASE> approaches then,
if the L<LOAD_PERL|Template::Manual::Config#LOAD_PERL> is set, the
provider will make a final attempt to load the module without prepending any
prefix to the module path. 

Unlike regular plugins, modules loaded using L<LOAD_PERL|Template::Manual::Config#LOAD_PERL>
do not receive a L<Template::Context> reference as the first argument to the 
C<new()> constructor method.

=head2 TOLERANT

The L<TOLERANT|Template::Manual::Config#TOLERANT> flag can be set to indicate
that the C<Template::Plugins> module should ignore any errors encountered while
loading a plugin and instead return C<STATUS_DECLINED>.

=head2 DEBUG

The L<DEBUG|Template::Manual::Config#DEBUG> option can be used to enable
debugging messages for the C<Template::Plugins> module by setting it to
include the C<DEBUG_PLUGINS> value.

    use Template::Constants qw( :debug );
    
    my $template = Template->new({
        DEBUG => DEBUG_FILTERS | DEBUG_PLUGINS,
    });

=head1 TEMPLATE TOOLKIT PLUGINS

Please see L<Template::Manual::Plugins> For a complete list of all the plugin 
modules distributed with the Template Toolkit.
