NAME
    URI::Template - Object for handling URI templates (RFC 6570)

SYNOPSIS
        use URI::Template;
   
        my $template = URI::Template->new( 'http://example.com/{x}' );
        my $uri      = $template->process( x => 'y' );
    
        # or
    
        my $template = URI::Template->new();
        $template->template( 'http://example.com/{x}' );
        my $uri      = $template->process( x => 'y' );
    
        # uri is a URI object with value 'http://example.com/y'

    or

        use URI::Template ':template_process'
    
        my $uri = template_process ( 'http://example.com/{x}', x => 'y' );

DESCRIPTION
    This module provides a wrapper around URI templates as described in RFC
    6570: <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570>.

INSTALLATION
        perl Makefile.PL
        make
        make test
        make install

METHODS
  new( $template )
    Creates a new URI::Template instance with the template passed in as the
    first parameter (optional).

  template( $template )
    This method returns the original template string. If provided, it will
    also set and parse a new template string.

  variables
    Returns an array of unique variable names found in the template (in the
    order of appearance).

  expansions
    This method returns an list of expansions found in the template.
    Currently, these are just coderefs. In the future, they will be more
    interesting.

  process( \%vars )
    Given a list of key-value pairs or an array ref of values (for
    positional substitution), it will URI escape the values and substitute
    them in to the template. Returns a URI object.

  process_to_string( \%vars )
    Processes input like the "process" method, but doesn't inflate the
    result to a URI object.

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
  template_process( $template => \%vars )
    This is the same as "URI::Template->new($template)->process(\%vars)" But
    shorter, and usefull for quick and easy genrating a nice URI form
    parameters.

    Returns an URI object

  template_process_as_string( $template => \%vars )
    Same as above, but obviously, returns a string.
