=head1 NAME

Template::Namespace::Constants - Compile time constant folding

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # easy way to define constants
    use Template;

    my $tt = Template->new({
        CONSTANTS => {
            pi => 3.14,
            e  => 2.718,
        },
    });

    # nitty-gritty, hands-dirty way
    use Template::Namespace::Constants;

    my $tt = Template->new({
        NAMESPACE => {
            constants => Template::Namespace::Constants->new({
                pi => 3.14,
                e  => 2.718,
            },
        },
    });

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The C<Template::Namespace::Constants> module implements a namespace handler
which is plugged into the C<Template::Directive> compiler module.  This then
performs compile time constant folding of variables in a particular namespace.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new(\%constants)

The new() constructor method creates and returns a reference to a new
Template::Namespace::Constants object.  This creates an internal stash
to store the constant variable definitions passed as arguments.

    my $handler = Template::Namespace::Constants->new({
        pi => 3.14,
        e  => 2.718,
    });

=head2 ident(\@ident)

Method called to resolve a variable identifier into a compiled form.  In this
case, the method fetches the corresponding constant value from its internal
stash and returns it.
