Guillem Jover	696ac4c247	TT#38200 Add support for new NGCP::Template perl module ... The perl Template::Toolkit is very rich, but its "function" support is a bit poor. The ways to do it are either via MACRO directives, or by simulating them with one function per file and then using PROCESS on these. The problem is that this is very clunky, does not support nesting, as we'd need different "argument" names for each "function", and it's quite cumbersome to use, need to assign aguments passed beforehand, and then assign back a designated return value from another variable. This is also one of the reasons some of the functions are not encapsulated, and have been inlined in various loops, because it was not possible to cleanly PROCESS them from those call sites. Instead we should use its native support for perl objects and perl subroutines, which exposes these as proper methods of a designated variable, and have none of the above mentioned problems. So we'll switch from constructs such as: argv.arg-a = variable; argv.arg-b = 'value'; PROCESS 'path-to-library-dir/function' result = out into: result = ngcp.function(variable, 'value'); In addition this might actually be faster, as it does not require processing additional files, and it's all just native perl code. This will be exposed within the NGCP templates as the ngcp object, and new member functions will start replacing our old and clunky native Template PROCESS-style library.
