( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I find that if my app grows I invariably end up doing the following. (Ususally I need my stuff to run in Win32 and Solaris)

  • Kick off the perl script with a bat script with the same name as a shell script and available via normal system paths. ( That way both have the same command line)
  • Use the bat/shell script to set local library locations and cd to the root of the application/scripts
  • (After my command line parsing) a begin block to get my libraries to load the way I want/need them to
  • Pull in a config file that utilizes relative directories to load into the environment (%ENV).

While this isn't optimal, it is reliable and reuaable, and has become so much a pattern I just start with this style from a template (which includss generic POD and of course strict & -w )

Unfortunately the company has laid ownership to the template, but it is easy enough to roll your own

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
