|
|
|
|
1. You need to give a global variable a temporary value, especially C<$_>,
|
|
2. You need to create a local file or directory handle or a local function,
|
|
3. You want to temporarily change just one element of an array or hash

=item Guidelines for Module Creation
|
|
|
|
Do similar modules already exist in some form?, Try to design the new
|
|
module to be easy to extend and reuse, Some simple style guidelines, Select
|
|
what to export, Select a name for the module, Have you got it right?,
|
|
README and other Additional Files, A description of the
|
|
module/package/extension etc, A copyright notice - see below, Prerequisites
|
|
- what else you may need to have, How to build it - possible changes to
|
|
Makefile.PL etc, How to install it, Recent changes in this release,
|
|
especially incompatibilities, Changes / enhancements you plan to make in
|
|
the future, Adding a Copyright Notice, Give the module a
|
|
version/issue/release number, How to release and distribute a module, Take
|
|
care when changing a released module
|
|
|
|
=item Guidelines for Converting Perl 4 Library Scripts into Modules
|
|
|
|
There is no requirement to convert anything, Consider the implications,
|
|
Make the most of the opportunity, The pl2pm utility will get you started,
|
|
Adds the standard Module prologue lines, Converts package specifiers from '
|
|
to ::, Converts die(...) to croak(...), Several other minor changes
|
|
|
|
=item Guidelines for Reusing Application Code
|
|
|
|
Complete applications rarely belong in the Perl Module Library, Many
|
|
applications contain some Perl code that could be reused, Break-out the
|
|
reusable code into one or more separate module files, Take the opportunity
|
|
to reconsider and redesign the interfaces, In some cases the 'application'
|
|
can then be reduced to a small
