( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
What does the following code do?

This StatView::Script->new( ... ); calls the new method of the class.

The bit inside the parens:

{ name => 'stv_copy_key', version => $VERSION, opt_spec => [qw( host=s list_pollers all_pollers )], db_connection => [qw/ poller /], handler => sub { StatView::CopySSHKey::run (@_) }, }

Constructs an anonymous hash which is passed into the new method.

It is equivalent to doing

my %hash = ( name => 'stv_copy_key', version => $VERSION, opt_spec => [qw( host=s list_pollers all_pollers )], db_connection => [qw/ poller /], handler => sub { StatView::CopySSHKey::run (@_) }, ); StatView::Script->new( \%hash );
Are the keys mentioned predefined?

Presumably you mean the hash keys? If so, one assumes that they have some meaning to the class constructor, otherwise they would either raise an error or be ignored.


With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?

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.
