NAME

App::Sequence - pluggable subroutine engine.

VERSION

Version 0.0401

This version is alpha version. It is experimental stage. I have many works yet( charctor set, error handling, log outputting, some bugs )

SYNOPSIS

apseq sequence.as module.pm config.csv

or

apseq argument.meta

FEATURES

1. Your subroutines can be execute in any combination.
2. Usage is very simple and flexible.
3. Config file is load automatically.

Using apseq script

When you install App::Sequence, apseq script is install at the same time. you can use apseq script on command line as the following way.

apseq sequence.as module.pm config.csv

apseq script receive three type of files.

1. Sequence file( .as ), which contain subroutine names you want to execute.
2. Module file( .pm ), which contain subroutine definitions called by Sequence file.
3. Config file( .csv, .yml, .xml, .ini ), which contain data or setting.

apseq script receive three type of file, and execute subroutines.

File must be written by utf8.

Three type of file

Sequence file

    Sequence file must be end with .as

    Sequence file format is

    get_html( c.id, c.passwd ) : r.html
    edit( r.html, c.encoding ) : stdout

    I assume that you want to get html file on the web and edit the html file by using an encoding and print STDOUT.

    you pass argumet to subroutine and save return value. and saved return value is used in next subroutine.

Module file

    Module file must be end with .pm

    Module file is perl script that subroutine is defined.

    sub get_html{
        my ( $id, $passwd ) = @_;
        my $html;
        # ...
        return $html;
    }
    
    sub edit{
        my ( $html, $encoding ) = @_;
        my $output;
        # ...
        return $output;
    }
    1; # must be true value.

    Do not forget that last line must be true value.

Config file

Config file must be end with .csv, .yml, .xml, or .ini

1. CSV file( .csv )

CSV file first line is header.

CSV file format is

name,age
kimoto,29
ken,13

This is converted to

[
    { name => 'kimoto', age => '29' },
    { name => 'ken', age => '13' }
]

This is used in Sequence file. c.name, c.age, etc.

CSV file is useful to run same sequence repeatedly.This sample repeat sequence two times.

2. YAML file( .yml )

YAML file is loaded by YAML::LoadFile.

YAML format is

name: kimoto
age: 29
# last line is needed!

Do not forget that space is needed after colon( : ) and last line is need;

This is converted to

{ name => 'kimoto', age => '29' }

This is used in Sequence file. c.name, c.age, etc.

See also YAML

3. XML file( .xml )

XML file is loaded by XML::Simple::XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<config>
  <name>kimoto</name>
  <age>29</age>
</config>

/This is converted to

{ name => 'kimoto', age => '29' }

This is used in Sequence file. c.name, c.age, etc.

4. Windows ini file( .ini )

Windows ini file is loaded by Config::Tiny

Windows ini format is

[person]
name=kimoto
age=29

This is used in Sequence file. c.person.name, c.person.age, etc.

See also Config::Tiny

Meta file( .meta )

You can write argument of apseq in Meta file.

Meta file must be end with .meta

Meta file format is

sequence.as
module.pm
config.csv

You can apseq script by passing Meta file.

apseq argumets.meta
