The Template::Constants modules defines, and optionally exports into the caller's namespace, a number of constants used by the Template package.

Constants may be used by specifying the Template::Constants package explicitly:

        use Template::Constants;

        print Template::Constants::STATUS_DECLINED;

Constants may be imported into the caller's namespace by naming them as options to the `'use Template::Constants'` statement:

        use Template::Constants qw( STATUS_DECLINED );

        print STATUS_DECLINED;

Alternatively, one of the following tagset identifiers may be specified to import sets of constants; :status, :error, :all.

        use Template::Constants qw( :status );

        print STATUS_DECLINED;

See [% ttlink('Exporter') -%] for more information on exporting variables.

The following tag sets and associated constants are defined:

      :status
        STATUS_OK                 # no problem, continue
        STATUS_RETURN             # ended current block then continue (ok)
        STATUS_STOP               # controlled stop (ok)
        STATUS_DONE               # iterator is all done (ok)
        STATUS_DECLINED           # provider declined to service request (ok)
        STATUS_ERROR              # general error condition (not ok)

      :error
        ERROR_RETURN              # return a status code (e.g. 'stop')
        ERROR_FILE                # file error: I/O, parse, recursion
        ERROR_UNDEF               # undefined variable value used
        ERROR_PERL                # error in [% tt_start_tag %] PERL [% tt_end_tag %] block
        ERROR_FILTER              # filter error
        ERROR_PLUGIN              # plugin error

      :chomp                      # for PRE_CHOMP and POST_CHOMP
        CHOMP_NONE                # do not remove whitespace
        CHOMP_ONE                 # remove whitespace to newline
        CHOMP_ALL                 # old name for CHOMP_ONE (deprecated)
        CHOMP_COLLAPSE            # collapse whitespace to a single space
        CHOMP_GREEDY              # remove all whitespace including newlines

      :debug
        DEBUG_OFF                 # do nothing
        DEBUG_ON                  # basic debugging flag
        DEBUG_UNDEF               # throw undef on undefined variables
        DEBUG_VARS                # general variable debugging
        DEBUG_DIRS                # directive debugging
        DEBUG_STASH               # general stash debugging
        DEBUG_CONTEXT             # context debugging
        DEBUG_PARSER              # parser debugging
        DEBUG_PROVIDER            # provider debugging
        DEBUG_PLUGINS             # plugins debugging
        DEBUG_FILTERS             # filters debugging
        DEBUG_SERVICE             # context debugging
        DEBUG_ALL                 # everything
        DEBUG_CALLER              # add caller file/line info
        DEBUG_FLAGS               # bitmap used internally

      :all         All the above constants.
