- * `Text::Template`
-
-   This module is not part of the core Perl modules.
-   As a matter of fact, the core Perl modules do not
-   include any templating module to date.

-   We require the minimum version to be 0.96, which

 It is also possible to load providers programmatically. For example you can
 load the legacy provider into the default library context as shown below.
 Note that once you have explicitly loaded a provider into the library context
 the default provider will no longer be automatically loaded. Therefore you will
 often also want to explicitly load the default provider, as is done here:
