NAME

MakeHandler.pl - A generator for handlers suitable for use by Daily Update.

DESCRIPTION

MakeHandler.pl is a handler generator. It asks the user a few questions, and then creates a handler.pm file, which can then be edited further. It jump-starts the handler writing process.

Handlers are the extensible mechanism by which Daily Update can be customized to acquire and display information from new data sources. Daily Update provides an API of useful functions that can be used by the handler writer.

For more information and hints about writing handlers, see http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~dwc3q/code/DailyUpdate/writehandlers.html. Also see the API description in the documentation for DailyUpdate.pl.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

None.

PREREQUISITES
