How to use new syntax features in Mojolicious templates

I want to use fancy postfix dereferencing in my Mojo templates. I suppose I could do 

% use experimental 'postderef';

at the top of every template file, but that seems repetitive and lame. Is there a way I can make Mojolicious import my pragma preferences to the lexical scope of every template?

Solution

  • You can reload EPRenderer plugin with own options (default is without options), option template contains default values for Mojo::Template.

    use Mojolicious::Lite;

plugin 'EPRenderer', template => { prepend  => 'use experimental "postderef";use Data::Dump "pp";'};

get '/' => sub { shift->render('index'); };

app->start;
