NAME

GTM::Preprocessor - Generic frontend for preprocessing GT.M Sources

SYNOPSIS

  use GTM::Preprocessor;
  my $p = new GTM::Preprocessor;
  $p->add("Cache"); # add the GTM::Preprocessor::Cache backend
  my $newcontent = $p->run($content);
  
The preprocessor-engine can be embedded into GT.M
so all sources you compile go to this stack

There is also a gtmpp script which allows you to preprocess outside of GT.M

DESCRIPTION

GTM::Preprocessor is the base class for preprocessing M-Code.

FUNCTIONS

my $pp = new GTM::Preprocessor ([opt => value[, opt => value]])
creates a new GTM::Preprocessor object. The following options are currently supported: 
 verbose => [0|1]  - set verbose level (0 = quiet)

my $parsed = $pp->run($content, [$filename])
runs all stacked preprocessors and returns content.

my $status = $pp->add($preprocessor, %args)
Add a backend preprocessor. 
  $status is 0 if it worked,
             1 if the requested preprocessor was not found
             2 if the requested preprocessor returned an error
               while initialization
