NAME

dtRdr - toplevel data/environment for dotReader

SYNOPSIS

For the dotReader documentation, see dtRdr::doc.

This module handles the initialization and locations. It will probably eventually absorb most of the functionality currently found in the dtRdr::User modules.

init

dtRdr->init;

plugin_dirs

my @dirs = dtRdr->plugin_dirs;

_init_reloader

dtRdr->_init_reloader

_init_logger

dtRdr->_init_logger;

init_app_dir

In most cases, this should be called before init().

Set app dir to PAR_TEMP (or other various environmentally defined places) if it exists.

dtRdr->init_app_dir(__FILE__); # must be next to data/

set_user_dir

dtRdr->set_user_dir($dirname);

_init_user_dir

Uses $0 and the rest of the environment to determine where dtRdr->user_dir is. Currently, the answer is './' or next to the application.

dtRdr->_init_user_dir;

_init_data_dir

This one is for application data.

dtRdr->_init_data_dir($app_dir);

_reload

Reload changed modules.

dtRdr->_reload;

release_number

dtRdr->release_number;

first_time

Returns true if this is the first time the app has been run.

dtRdr->first_time;

get_LICENSE

my $text = dtRdr->get_LICENSE;

get_COPYING

my $text = dtRdr->get_COPYING;

_get_THIS

dtRdr->_get_THIS('LICENSE|COPYING');
