# Template::Stash::XS - phpMan

## NAME
    [Template::Stash::XS] - High-speed variable stash written in C

## SYNOPSIS
        use Template;
        use [Template::Stash::XS];

        my $stash = [Template::Stash::XS]->new(\%vars);
        my $tt2   = Template->new({ STASH => $stash });

## DESCRIPTION
    The Template:[Stash::XS] module is an implementation of the
    [Template::Stash] written in C. The "XS" in the name refers to Perl's XS
    extension system for interfacing Perl to C code. It works just like the
    regular Perl implementation of [Template::Stash] but runs about twice as
    fast.

    The easiest way to use the XS stash is to configure the Template Toolkit
    to use it by default. You can do this at installation time (when you run
    "perl Makefile.PL") by answering 'y' to the questions:

        Do you want to build the XS Stash module?      y
        Do you want to use the XS Stash by default?    y

    See the INSTALL file distributed with the Template Toolkit for further
    details on installation.

    If you don't elect to use the XS stash by default then you should use
    the "STASH" configuration item when you create a new Template object.
    This should reference an XS stash object that you have created manually.

        use Template;
        use [Template::Stash::XS];

        my $stash = [Template::Stash::XS]->new(\%vars);
        my $tt2   = Template->new({ STASH => $stash });

    Alternately, you can set the $[Template::Config::STASH] package variable
    like so:

        use Template;
        use [Template::Config];

        $[Template::Config::STASH] = '[Template::Stash::XS]';

        my $tt2 = Template->new();

    The XS stash will then be automatically used.

    If you want to use the XS stash by default and don't want to re-install
    the Template Toolkit, then you can manually modify the
    "Template/Config.pm" module near line 42 to read:

        $STASH = '[Template::Stash::XS]';
