DETAILS
This Perl script generates modules and test data for the planets named on the command line. The planet names are case-insensitive.
The modules are generated using a home-grown templating system more or less like a brain-dead Template-Toolkit
. Variable substitution occurs on the following names when enclosed in [% ... %]
:
- body - the name of the body
- model - the model parameters
- name - the name of the model, upper-case
- superclass - the name of the superclass
- year - the current year
