NAME
Zoidberg::Utils - An interface to zoid's utility libs
SYNOPSIS
TODO
DESCRIPTION
This module bundles common routines used by the Zoidberg object classes, especially the error and output routines.
It is intended as a bundle or cluster of several packages so it is easier to keep track of all utility methods.
EXPORT
By default the ':error' and ':output' tags are exported.
The following export tags are defined:
- :error
- Gives you CWerror, CWbug, CWtodo, CWcomplain; the first 3 belong to Zoidberg::Utils::Error, the last to Zoidberg::Utils::Output.
- :output
- Gives you CWoutput, CWmessage and CWdebug, all of which belong to Zoidberg::Utils::Output.
- :fs
- Gives you CWpath and CWlist_dir, which belong to Zoidberg::Utils::FileSystem.
Also methods listen below can be requested for import.
METHODS
Searches in zoid's data dirs for a file with basename CW$basename and returns a hash reference with it's contents. This method should be used by all plugins etc. to ensure portability. FIXME more explanation Returns a hash reference with the contents of CW$file. Currently only perl scripts are read and these should return (or end with) a hash reference. Possibly other formats like yaml will be added later.
