Hello Monks,

I'm clawing my way towards friar and updating my html template to reflect best practices. It relies on some aspects that aren't particularly-perl related, but I'm trying to use perl where I have used other software tools before. Right now, to create the filespace for a new project, I have a crummy bash script that wraps a perl script. What's more, the perl script is laden with older software tools, so I essentially want to combine what these 2 do. First a very short bash listing and then the script it wraps:

/home/bob/1.scripts/pages ------- #!/bin/bash ./3.clone.pl $1 $2 $3 chmod 755 $2 cd $2 chmod +x *.pl pwd ------- #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use 5.010; use Cwd; use Path::Class; use File::Copy; use File::Basename; use File::Find; use File::Slurp qw(read_dir); # This script clones the template directory in $1 to $2. # Some names need munging. # $from is a populated child directory; $to is child dir to be create +d. $pop is the folder with the data. my ( $from, $to, $pop ) = @ARGV; my $ts = "template_stuff"; my $current = cwd; # choose good lexical variable for directory list: @a. say "-------------"; my $rd2 = dir($current); my @a = $rd2->dir_list(); say "a is @a"; say "-------------"; say "making directories"; # make root directory of clone: my $rd1 = dir( @a, $to ); my $srd1 = $rd1->stringify; mkdir $srd1 or warn "couldn't make $srd1: $!\n"; say "srd1 is $srd1"; # define the paths within the target directory: my $rd3 = dir( @a, $to, $ts ); my $srd3 = $rd3->stringify; mkdir $srd3 or warn "couldn't make $srd3: $!\n"; #say "srd3 is $srd3"; # stringify $from template directory: my $rd6 = dir( @a, $from, $ts ); my $srd6 = $rd6->stringify; say "srd6 is $srd6"; # copy files: opendir my $eh, $srd6 or die "dead $!\n"; while ( defined( $_ = readdir($eh) ) ) { if (m/(txt|pm|css|tmpl|pl|sh)$/) { say "matching is $_"; $a = file( $srd6, $_ ); #say "a is $a"; $b = file( $srd3, $_ ); #say "b is $b"; copy( $a, $b ); } } # copy css file to template with munged name opendir my $fh, $srd6 or die "dead $!\n"; while ( defined( $_ = readdir($fh) ) ) { if (m/^$from(\d*)\.css$/) { say "matching is $_"; say "dollar one is $1"; $a = file( $srd6, $_ ); say "a is $a"; my $munge = $to . $1 . ".css"; $b = file( $srd3, $munge ); say "b is $b"; copy( $a, $b ); } } closedir $fh; my $rd7 = dir( @a, $from ); my $srd7 = $rd7->stringify; say "srd7 is $srd7"; my @matching; opendir my $dh, $srd7 or die "dead $!\n"; while ( defined( $_ = readdir($dh) ) ) { if (m/$from(\d*)\.pl$/i) { push @matching, $_; } } closedir $dh; @matching = sort @matching; say "matched is @matching"; my $winner = pop @matching; my $newfile = "${to}1.pl"; my $a = file( $srd7, $winner ); print "a is $a\n"; my $b = file( $srd1, $newfile ); print "b is $b\n"; copy( $a, $b ); say "end of clone"; say "addressing pop"; #declare directories for this template my @dirs = qw /aimages captions ruscaptions/; #say "dirs are @dirs"; while (@dirs) { my $dir = shift @dirs; say "dir is $dir"; my $rd4 = dir( @a, $pop, $ts, $dir ); my $srd4 = $rd4->stringify; say "bla vlab $srd4"; my $rd5 = dir( @a, $to, $ts, $dir ); my $srd5 = $rd5->stringify; #say "srd5 is $srd5"; mkdir $srd5 or warn "couldn't make $srd5: $!\n"; opendir my $gh, $srd4 or warn "dir not there $!\n"; while ( defined( $_ = readdir($gh) ) ) { next if -d $_; next if $_ =~ /~$/; say "matching is $_"; $a = file( $srd4, $_ ); #say "a is $a"; $b = file( $srd5, $_ ); #say "b is $b"; copy( $a, $b ); } closedir $gh; }

What I'm fishing for here is the best way to change all this to Path::Tiny. What attributes should I give files and directories copied? I might not own everything that comes in on the $3 directory. what is the best way to own the images you copy from one directory to one of your creation?

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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).
