Maypole::Manual::View is a Perl module for Maypole View Classes.
In a large application, you will almost certainly want to customize the layout and design of the output pages. This task may even be the purview of a separate team of HTML designers rather than the programmers. Since a typical programmer will try to avoid touching HTML as much as possible and a typical designer will try to avoid touching Perl code, programmers have evolved a system of templating to separate the concerns of programming and designing.
One of the core concepts in Maypole is the view class, and this is responsible for routing the data produced in the model class into the templates produced by the designers. Of course, there are a great many possible templating systems and styles, and so there can be a great many possible Maypole view classes. Each view class will take the data from the controller, locate a template to be processed, and hand the whole lot to its preferred templating module, which will then do the hard work of filling in the template and coming up with the output.
You can choose whatever Maypole view class you want, but the default view class is Maypole::View::TT, and it feeds its data and templates to a module called the Template Toolkit.
