NAME

Class::Tree - Build and print hierarchical information such as directory trees and C++ classes.

SYNOPSIS

use Class::Tree;

# Or ...
# use Class::Tree qw($root);

my($tree) = new Class::Tree;

DESCRIPTION

The Class::Tree module provides a simple way of building:

  • Directory trees

  • C++ class trees

The $classRef -> {'root'} hash reference

This is an alias for $root. See below.

The $root hash reference

This points to the root of the tree.

INSTALLATION

You install Class::Tree, as you would install any perl module library, by running these commands:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

If you want to install a private copy of Class::Tree in your home directory, then you should try to produce the initial Makefile with something like this command:

perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/perl
	or
perl Makefile.PL LIB=C:/Perl/Site/Lib

If, like me, you don't have permission to write man pages into unix system directories, use:

make pure_install

instead of make install. This option is secreted in the middle of p 414 of the second edition of the dromedary book.

WARNING re Perl bug

As always, be aware that these 2 lines mean the same thing, sometimes:

  • $self -> {'thing'}

  • $self->{'thing'}

The problem is the spaces around the ->. Inside double quotes, "...", the first space stops the dereference taking place. Outside double quotes the scanner correctly associates the $self token with the {'thing'} token.

I regard this as a bug.

CHANGES

V 1.10 attempts to write to the current directory if it cannot write to the directory containing the *.h files. This makes it possible to run testCppTree.pl (say) and input a directory on CDROM.
