in reply to Re: List Wrapper for Object Methods.
in thread List Wrapper for Object Methods.
But instead of asking us all to Abandon hope you might be willing and able to post a hint on how to do it better.
In case you would like to do so I put the POD of that code in question here:
NAME
Archive - Manage Archives as Objects.
SYNOPSIS
use Archive;
## create a Archive object supplying all information needed my $force = 1; my $arch = Archive->new( archive => $full_path_archive , source_dir => $source_directory , file_glob => '.' , log_file => $log_object ## a LogFile object (see LogFile.pm) );
## create a physical Archive using 'gtar czvf' $arch->prepare_create(force=>$force); $arch->create;
## or
## extract a physical Archive using 'gtar xzvf' $arch->prepare_extract; $arch->extract;
## or
## remove a physical Archive using 'rm -f' $arch->remove;
## You can create a list of Archive objects as Archive::List object my $arch_list = Archive::List->new;
## and add Archive objects to the list $arch_list->add($arch); $arch_list->add($brch);
## now you can use all Archive methods also on all members of a Archive::List object $arch_list->prepare_create; $arch_list->create;
DESCRIPTION
Use Archive to create, extract or remove archives.
OBJECT METHODS
Archive Methods
- new
-
Create a Archive object.
- prepare_create
-
The check_archive Function checks whether an archive exists and refuses to overwrite it unless we set the parameter 'force'. It also checks whether the directory of the archive-to-be exists, is really a directory and is writeable for this user.
- create
-
The create Function actually creates a physical gtar-ed archive.
- prepare_extract
-
The prepare_extract Function checks whether an archive exists and whether the target directory of the extraction exists, is really a directory and is writeable for this user.
- extract
-
The extract Function actually restores all files contained in a gtar-ed archive.
- remove
-
The remove Function removes a gtar-ed archive.
Archive::List Methods
- new
-
Create a Archive::List object.
- add
-
Adds a Archive object to the Archive::List object that invoked the method.
- prepare_create create prepare_extract extract remove
-
These methods called on a Archive::List object do the same for all Archive objects in the list.
The idea to create the Class Archive::List is actually just to be able of serialising method invocations.
(update: on dio's suggestion I put the POD directly into this node ....)
