SYNOPSIS

Display An HTML File

require CGI::WPM::Globals;
my $globals = CGI::WPM::Globals->new( "/path/to/site/files" );

require CGI::WPM::Static;
$globals->move_site_prefs( {filename => 'intro.html'} );
CGI::WPM::Static->execute( $globals );  # content-type: text/html

$globals->send_to_user();

Display A Plain Text File -- HTML Escaped

$globals->move_site_prefs( {filename => 'mycode.txt', is_text => 1} );

DESCRIPTION

This POD is coming when I get the time to write it.

Obviously, static files would be better served with a normal web server, but this module addresses such a trivial case for when they are embedded in sites with dynamic content, including when you want to embed plain text in HTML. Also, you can now do search-and-replace in the otherwise static text.

SYNTAX

This class does not export any functions or methods, so you need to call them using object notation. This means using Class->function() for functions and $object->method() for methods. If you are inheriting this class for your own modules, then that often means something like $self->method().

PUBLIC FUNCTIONS AND METHODS

This module inherits its entire public interface from CGI::WPM::Base. Please see the POD for that module so you know how to call this one.

PREFERENCES HANDLED BY THIS MODULE

This POD is coming when I get the time to write it.

filename  # name of file we will open
is_text   # true if file is not html, but text
