NAME
PApp::Application - a class representing a single mountable application
SYNOPSIS
use PApp::Application;
# you don't normally use this class directly
DESCRIPTION
What?
- $papp = new PApp::Application args...
- $ppkg->preprocess
-
Parse the package (includign all subpackages) and store the configuration and code data in the PApp Package Cache(tm) for use by load_config and load_code.
- $papp->mount
-
Do necessary bookkeeping to mount an application.
- $papp->event("event")
-
Distributes the event to all subpackages/submodules.
- $papp->load
-
Make sure the application is loaded (i.e. in-memory)
- $papp->surl(surl-args)
- $papp->slink(slink-args)
-
Just like PApp::surl and PApp::slink, except that it also jumps into the application (i.e. it switches applications).
surl
will act as if you were in the main module of the application. - $changed = $papp->check_deps
-
Check dependencies and unload application if any dependencies have changed.
- register_file($name, %attrs)
-
Register an additional file (for dependency tracking and i18n scanning). There should never be a need to use this function. Example:
$papp->register_file("/etc/issue", lang => "en", domain => "mydomain");
- %files = $papp->files([include-imports])
-
Return a hash of
path
=> { info... } pairs delivering information about all files of the application. Ifinclude-imports
is true, also includes all files form imports. - $papp->run
-
"Run" the application, i.e. find the current package & module and execute it.
- $papp->new_package(same arguments as PApp::Package->new)
-
Creates a new PApp::Package that belongs to this application.
- $ppkg->for_all_packages (callback<papp,path,name>, initial-path)
-
Run a sub for all packages in a papp.
PApp::Application::Agni
There is another Application type, Agni, which allows you to directly mount a specific agni object. To do this, you have to specify the application path like this:
PApp::Application::Agni/path/gid
e.g., to mount the admin application in root/agni/, use this:
PApp::Application::Agni/root/agni/4295054263
