Posy-0.91

Changes for version 0.91

  • (8 Feb 2005) improvements to static generation I found that when runing posy_static on large numbers of files, the memory usage got larger and larger and larger until the whole machine ground to a halt. After trying a few things, I was forced to resort to forking a process for each file generation. Therefore (a) I'm not sure how non-unix systems will take this and (b) this could make static generation for small sites relatively slower. But perlfork should hopefully take care of the forking, and static generation isn't meant to be as fast as CGI anyway. Also added two more 'gen_type' options:
    • path: generate one single file, given by the path parameter Useful for updating single files or for checking output.
    • init: runs the actions without generating any files. Useful for doing the indexing on the whole site first, and then
  • running posy_static again to do the actual generation. It tends to be quicker that way.
  • (8 Feb 2005) can set outfile to STDOUT If one gives '-' as the outfile, then this will print to STDOUT. This is useful for checking output when using posy_static, where 'outfile' is usually set to something else and thus needs to be overridden.
  • (8 Feb 2005) order of parameter parsing in static mode Originally, in static mode, this set the $self->param() parameters first from the @ARGV array, and then from the $self->{params} hash, which meant that $self->{params} parameters would override @ARGV parameters. This was against convention, which expects that things given on the command-line (that is, @ARGV) would override things like defaults. So I have fixed this so that @ARGV is processed last. It means, however, that the @ARGV processing is done by Posy::Core and then passed on to CGI::Minimal, so it is very simple.
