CGI::Application::Plugin::TT::LastModified
adds support to
CGI::Application
for setting a "Last-Modified" header based on the most
recent modification time of any of the components of a template that was
processed with TT.
Normally you'll want to call it manually, on as "as needed" basis; if you're processing templates with TT you're most likely dealing with dynamic content (in which case you probably don't even want a "Last-Modified" header). The odd time you'll want to set a "Last-Modified" header, though, this plugin helps make that easier.
If you have a desire to have the "Last-Modified" header set automatically
for you, though, CGI::Application::Plugin::TT::LastModified
does have an
:auto
import tag which auto-registers "tt_set_last_modified_header()" as a
"tt_post_process" hook for you. If you've got an app that just processes
static TT pages and generates output, this will be useful for you.
-
import()
Custom import routine, which allows for
tt_set_last_modified_header()
to be auto-added in as a TT post process hook. -
tt_last_modified()
Returns the most recent modification time for any component of the most recently processed template (via
tt_process()
). Time is returned back to the caller as "the number of seconds since the epoch". -
tt_set_last_modified_header()
Sets a "Last-Modified" header in the HTTP response, equivalent to the last modification time of the template components as returned by
tt_last_modified()
.
