=head1 NAME

Template::Plugin::Scalar - call object methods in scalar context

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    [% USE scalar %]

    # TT2 calls object methods in array context by default
    [% object.method %]

    # force it to use scalar context
    [% object.scalar.method %]

    # also works with subroutine references
    [% scalar.my_sub_ref %]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The Template Toolkit calls user-defined subroutines and object methods
using Perl's array context by default.  This plugin module provides a way
for you to call subroutines and methods in scalar context.
