Forgot to ask last night, but is there a module that can create a site map for an application made out of .cgi files? There are no html files in the app.

I don't know but my gut would be that I suspect no. Even in a Catalyst
application where there is presumedly more tight integration of the
subroutines, which loosely correspond to your cgi scripts, it would
require an algorithm to understand the logic of the script in order to
know how they interrelate. To what end are you thinking of for a site
map?

Well, I am thinking I need it to show the relationship between the numerous 
files in my program, for maintenance purposes.

Seems to me that I could generate a listing of the .cgi files called from 
each file, but putting that data into a site map would be a challenge.

Hi - you might want to consider writing a Perl script to dump all of the linkages into the DOT graph format

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOT_language


and then creating a graph out of that.

There are several good Perl modules which interface with GraphViz, like this one, maybe

https://metacpan.org/module/GraphViz2.?

You could walk all of the files using something like


https://metacpan.org/module/File::Find::Rule


Cheers,

Mark

(1) I would benefit from a tutorial on the various (or just the
"best") approach to recursively operating on all the files in a
directory and its subdirectories.  It appears that the "File::..." 
modules are applicable.

(2) I also would benefit from a tutorial on use of the diamond
operator (or other approaches) to make changes throughout a file.

%%%%%%%

My motivation is the need to perform a sequence of perhaps a dozen
operations on less than a hundred text files.  The ultimate product is
a total of about a thousand files, all of which are identical in
format, but categorized in at least two directory tiers.

Specifically, I need to create for each chapter of the Bible a LaTeX
template to which a commentator may add commentary.  The template must
include the Scripture text for the respective chapter.  The total
number of templates to be produced is on the order of a thousand.  The
templates are in a directory structure, categorized by book; so it
appears to me that the task calls for recursive processing.

Some of the tasks include:

  => Parse each book file into chapter files, automatically creating
     for each chapter a filename of the form
     "<bookname>-<chapter-number>".

  => Strip from the source text assorted publisher-specific
     typographic artifacts (such as marginal notes and redundant white
     space).

  => Add markup for features such as verse numbers set in a small font.

  => Add markup for header, footer, multiple columns, page number,
     revision date, etc.

  => Standardize the spelling of proper names to either the
     Hellenistic or the Hebraic form (such as changing "Noe" to "Noah").

But I suppose that use of the diamond operator and recursion in the
context of "File::..." are a bit too elementary to be of general
interest; after all, the subjects ARE covered in "Learning Perl".

We haven't had a beginning presentation in a while. But, I can still
see some potential here.

* Recursive directory processing
  - File::Find vs File::Find::Rule vs roll-your-own

* Modifying text file
  - diamond operator, print, file name manipulation
  - Perl's in-place edit feature

* Modifying a text file
  - Changing in-place vs generating from subtexts and Template

Some of this could even be extended further given time...

Anyone else interested in this topic?

Good topics.

This (link below) is a file that I didn't write,
but I use various versions of quite often.  It
processes backwards in the directory structure.

http://www.mflan.com/temp/dirproc.txt

I would like to hear about other techniques also.

I wonder if you could modify the files in place
while running through this script.  You probably
can, but I never do.


Mike

Technical questions are always welcome.

Don't forget, off-topic technical questions are encouraged after the
presentation as well.

It looks like we have a potential presentation that should cover at
least parts of this topic. I'll send an update when I know more.

Thanks.  I plan to make it to this meeting, irrespective of the
presentation.

Subject: [pm-h] October Houston.pm Technical Meeting: Bag of Tricks
Message-ID: <20120929082209.0460e918@cygnus>

Erin Sch?nhals has agreed to present for this month's meeting at 7pm
on October 11. Here's her explanation of the topic:

By popular demand, for Houston.pm's October meeting I will be
presenting some small examples from a bag of tricks useful for taking
on a number of file manipulation tasks, more specifically those suited
to manipulating human readable text.  Such tricks include but are not
limited to:

    * Quick and easy recursive file operations
    * Editing files in-place; or, a better alternative
    * A blurb on ispell and Lingua::Spelling::Alternative
    * Some notes on Template::Toolkit
    * Handling errors gracefully in the midst of a large pile of work
    * Mass renaming of files; good for managing media collections!

Slides and example code will be made available online after the
meeting.  Each example will be introduced with enough explanation to
help grasp the most important moving pieces.  Plenty of room will be
left over at the end of the presentation for Q&A.  Hopefully the keen
attendee will be able to string these methods together with confidence.

I sure do hope to see you then!

------------------------
As usual, we will meet at 3131 W. Alabama St. The presentation starts
at 7pm. We'll gather in the lobby on top of the parking garage between
6:40pm and 7pm, and go to the meeting from there.
