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 Tem-
       plate::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 manu-
       ally.

	   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 "Tem-
       plate/Config.pm" module near line 42 to read:

	   $STASH = ’Template::Stash::XS’;
