Re: Private Utilities

[xdg]

What private utilities do you have which might meet your needs but not be "general" enough to post elsewhere?

Well, a quick scan of my ~/utility-scripts/ directory shows:

• coremodule-history.pl -- a level of detail between 'corelist' and 'corelist -a'
• cpanget -- grabs a CPAN dist from search.cpan.org (before I knew about 'cpanp -d')
• findrequires -- scans for module dependencies and outputs in a Module::Build ready format (annotated with core-module history, if available)
• pod2htmleasy -- output to Pod::HtmlEasy
• rebuild-album.pl -- regenerate thumbnails for my photo album CGI
• release-dist -- download a module from my SVN repository, extract it, build it, and if all tests pass, upload it to CPAN
• set-version -- sets "$VERSION = x.yy.zz" recursively in appropriate files in a distribution directory
• tag-svk -- create a tag branch from within an svk directory
• tag-svn -- ditto from within an svn directory

Some are shell wrappers around perl one-liners, but it's still perl doing most of the work. I keep these in a subversion repository so I can shuffle them around between machines I use and propogate little changes as I make them.
