I have a number of modules to propose for inclusion in the modules
list. The code is already done, but I'd like to get some comments
about what module names to use in the actual release.
The names given below are proposals.
Tie::EditHash - a hash which can overlay another hash or tied hash and
can be changed without losing it's order. The changes
can then be saved to the base hash when wanted.
Tie::EditHash::Editor - base class for interactive editors that use
Tie::EditHash.
included in the package with these two is a small character based
editor for editing DB_Files.
WWW::Link - a class for storing information about the status of links
(are they broken or okay) for use in link checking
right now this is called just Link, but I think the name
WWW::Link is probably better. The interface is OO.
WWW::Link::Repair - a class for finding files with broken links and
then
WWW::Link::Repair::Substitutor - does the actual work of string
substitution for Link::Repair
WWW::Link::Selector - a class for seleting particularl links from a
database to work on
WWW::Link::Test - a class for testing a link using a LWP user agent..
WWW::Link::Reporter - a base class for reporting about the status of
Links
WWW::Link::Reporter::Text - provides reporting of broken links
WWW::Link::Reporter::Compile - same but for emacs compile mode
WWW::Link::Reporter::HTML - same but in HTML Format
WWW::Link::Reporter::RepairForm - same but generates a form
WWW::Link::Reporter::LongList - provides just lists files ls -l format
Getopt::Function - getopt using a table of subroutine and
documentation refs aimed at maintainable code. based (B<use>es
Getopt::Mixed)
CDB_File::Generator - a class for generating CDB_Files e.g. for use with
the CDB_File module as tied hashes. (CDB files are a type of non
modifiable DB files).
CDB_BiIndex - two directional index made up of two CDB files
CDB_BiIndex::Generator - class for generating CDB_BiIndexes based on
CDB_File::Generator
I thought something like
DataStructure::BiIndex::CDB
would be ideal, but there isn't any place like that is there?
what about this?
Data::BiIndex::CDB
Schedule - a class for handing when to carry out actions.. But very
specific. Something like a basis for the unix at command..
This is one where I'd really like any good suggestions for a name:
Schedule::Lazy .. or something.
Reasonably documented implementations of all of these classes are in
http:://scotclimb.org.uk/software/linkcont/PMS/
alongside a link testing application which uses them called LinkController.
Status for all modules is:
released for testing (b?)
developer support for now (d)
written only in perl (p)
object oriented interface (O) although EditHash also provides a
tie.
or in other words: bdpO
