NAME
       Template::Plugin::Assert - trap undefined values

SYNOPSIS
           [% USE assert %]

           # throws error if any undefined values are returned
           [% object.assert.method %]
           [% hash.assert.key %]
           [% list.assert.item %]

DESCRIPTION
       This plugin defines the "assert" virtual method that can be used to automatically throw
       errors when undefined values are used.

       For example, consider this dotop:

           [% user.name %]

       If "user.name" is an undefined value then TT will silently ignore the fact and print
       nothing.  If you "USE" the "assert" plugin then you can add the "assert" vmethod between
       the "user" and "name" elements, like so:

           [% user.assert.name %]

       Now, if "user.name" is an undefined value, an exception will be thrown:

           assert error - undefined value for name
