Subject: Re: [Perldl] PDL-Stats new release
I didn't have to call scantree.pl. I wrote a little script using functions
documented in PDL::Doc. It loads the existing pdldoc.db, scans and adds
PDL::Stats functions to it.
For the Windows ppm packages, there's no blib to scan. Well .... there *is*
a blib, but it's in some temporary directory, and I don't know what might be
involved in locating it.
Instead, I'd rather that the updating of pdldoc.db was done *without*
attempting to scan the blib.
So ... I'm thinking I'll just use a modified version of Maggie's add_doc.pl,
run as a post ppm install script.
I think the following approach should work. (For some context, see
add_doc.pl in the PDL::Stats source.)
$dir = <full path to top level PDL folder>;
$pdldoc->ensuredb();
$pdldoc->scan("$dir/Stats.pm");
$pdldoc->scantree("$dir/Stats");
eval { $pdldoc->savedb(); };
warn $@ if $@;
That assumes that you can do a 'scan' followed by a 'scantree' without
anything getting clobbered.
Should I expect any problems with that ?
I'll give this a trial run on one of my own perls .... what's the quick and
simple check to see that it has worked ok ?
Cheers,
Rob
