Hi Catalysters, This is to announce two CPAN releases that might be of interest to some of you Web programmers.
================================================= http://search.cpan.org/dist/Alien-GvaScript/ . ================================================= GvaScript (pronounce "gee-vascript") is a javascript framework born in Geneva, Switzerland (GVA is the IATA code for Geneva Cointrin International Airport). It is built on top of the prototype object-oriented javascript framework (http://prototype.conio.net) and offers a number of extensions and widgets, such as keymap handling, application-specific events, autocompletion on input field, and a tree navigator --- see documentation in http://search.cpan.org/src/DAMI/Alien-GvaScript-1.00/lib/Alien/GvaScript /html/ GvaScript is distributed using Perl tools, but the actual content of the library is pure javascript; hence its location in the Alien namespace (see the Alien manifesto). GvaScript runtime library does not need Perl; you can integrate it in any other Web programming framework. Perl is only needed for developers who want to modify GvaScript sources and recreate a distribution package. ================================================= http://search.cpan.org/dist/Pod-POM-Web/ ================================================= Pod::POM::Web is a Web application for browsing the documentation of Perl components installed on your local machine. Since pages are dynamically generated, they are always in sync with code actually installed. The application offers * a tree view for browsing through installed modules (with dynamic expansion of branches as they are visited) * a tree view for navigating and opening / closing sections while visiting a documentation page * a source code view with syntax coloring (this is an optional feature -- see section "Optional features" <> ) * direct access to perlfunc </perldoc?perlfunc> entries (builtin Perl functions) * search through perlfaq </perldoc?perlfaq> headers * fulltext search, including names of Perl variables (this is an optional feature -- see section "Optional features" <> ). * parsing and display of version number * display if and when the displayed module entered Perl core. * parsing pod links and translating them into hypertext links * links to CPAN sites The DHTML code for navigating through documentation trees requires a modern browser. So far it has been tested on Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and Firefox 2.0 ================================================= Enjoy ... and if you try them, please consider posting an evaluation at http://cpanratings.perl.org/rate/?distribution=Alien-GvaScript http://cpanratings.perl.org/rate/?distribution=Pod-POM-Web Best regards, Laurent Dami
