NAME
    MasonX::ProcessDir - Process a directory of Mason 2 templates

VERSION
    version 0.02

SYNOPSIS
        use MasonX::ProcessDir;

        # Generate result files in the same directory as the templates
        #
        my $pd = MasonX::ProcessDir->new(
            dir => '/path/to/dir'
        );
        $pd->process_dir();

        # Generate result files in a separate directory
        #
        my $pd = MasonX::ProcessDir->new(
            source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
            dest_dir   => '/path/to/dest/dir'
        );
        $pd->process_dir();

DESCRIPTION
    Recursively processes a directory of Mason 2 templates, generating a set
    of result files in the same directory or in a parallel directory.

    Every file with suffix ".mc" will be processed, and the results placed
    in a file of the same name without the suffix. ".mi", autobase and
    dhandler files will be used by Mason when processing the templates but
    will not generate files themselves.

    For example, if the source directory contains

       Base.mc
       httpd.conf.mc
       proxy.conf.mc
       etc/crontab.mc
       blah.mi
       somefile.txt

    and we run

        my $pd = MasonX::ProcessDir->new(
            source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
            dest_dir   => '/path/to/dest/dir'
        );
        $pd->process_dir();

    then afterwards the destination directory will contain files

        httpd.conf
        proxy.conf
        etc/crontab
        somefile.txt

    where *foo* and *bar* are the results of processing *foo.mc* and
    *bar.mc* through Mason. *Base.mc* and *blah.mi* may be used during Mason
    processing but won't generate result files themselves.

    This class is a convenience extension of Any::Template::ProcessDir.

CONSTRUCTOR
  Specifying directory/directories
    *   If you want to generate the result files in the same directory as
        the templates, just specify *dir*.

            my $pd = MasonX::ProcessDir->new(
                dir => '/path/to/dir',
                ...
            );

    *   If you want to generate the result files in a separate directory
        from the templates, specify *source_dir* and *dest_dir*.

            my $pd = MasonX::ProcessDir->new(
                source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
                source_dir => '/path/to/dest/dir',
                ...
            );

  Mason options
    mason_options
        An optional hash of options to the Mason interpreter. For example,
        the default Mason data directory will be ".mason" under the source
        directory, but you can override this:

            mason_options => { data_dir => '/path/to/data/dir' }

  Options inherited from Any::Template::ProcessDir
    See Any::Template::ProcessDir for other options, such as

        dir_create_mode
        file_create_mode
        readme_filename
