Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

To use this plugin, you have to make sure that the Template Toolkit knows about its namespace.

my $tt2 = Template->new({
    PLUGIN_BASE => 'Template::Plugin::Filter',
});

# or

my $tt2 = Template->new({
    PLUGINS => {
       PlantUML => 'Template::Plugin::Filter::PlantUML',
    },
});

Then you USE your plugin in a template file as follows.

[% USE 'http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml' 'svg' -%]

[% url = FILTER plantuml %]
  Bob -> Alice : hello
[% END %]

<img src="[% url %]"/>

Finally process your template.

$tt2->process('foo.tt2') || die $tt2->error();

Result would be:
