NAME

Posy - a website generator inspired by blosxom

VERSION

This describes version 0.05 of Posy.

SYNOPSIS

require Posy;

Posy->import(@plugins);
Posy->run(%args);

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple website content management system / blog inspired by the design of blosxom. The filesystem is the database, there are flavour templates, and plugins. However, this system doesn't require one to write one's entry files in a particular format; one can choose from pure HTML, plain text, or blosxom format. And other formats can be dealt with if one writes a plugin to deal with them.

CLASS METHODS

import

Posy->import(@plugins);

This needs to be run before "run". See Posy::Core for more information.

This loads plugins, modules which subclass Posy and override its methods and/or make additional methods. The arguments of this method are the module names, in the order in which they should be loaded. The given modules are required and arranged in an "is-a" chain. That is, Posy subclasses the last plugin given, which subclasses the second-to-last, up to the first plugin given, which is the base class.

(idea taken from Module::Starter by Andy Lester and Ricardo Signes)

REQUIRES

File::Spec
File::stat

File::Find
Data::Dumper
Storable
CGI::Minimal

Test::More

INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install

Or, if you're on a platform (like DOS or Windows) that doesn't like the "./" notation, you can do this:

perl Build.PL
perl Build
perl Build test
perl Build install

In order to install somewhere other than the default, such as in a directory under your home directory, like "/home/fred/perl" go

perl Build.PL --install_base /home/fred/perl

as the first step instead.

This will install the files underneath /home/fred/perl.

You will then need to make sure that you alter the PERL5LIB variable to find the modules, and the PATH variable to find the script.

Therefore you will need to change: your path, to include /home/fred/perl/script (where the script will be)

PATH=/home/fred/perl/script:${PATH}

the PERL5LIB variable to add /home/fred/perl/lib

PERL5LIB=/home/fred/perl/lib:${PERL5LIB}
