Examples?

[Leo B. <lb...@br...>]

Hello, all.

I'm interested in helping to put together a document for
distribution with modules that includes examples of some
standard and advanced modulefiles.  My motivation comes
from two sources; one, to give something useful back to
the project and two, to learn something new.  I was taught
a few techniques in the last year that have served me and
my group well; it just seems natural to formalize some of
these into a document to share with others.

Examples I know of:
  o Using a modulefile to handle default software
    versioning on a project (modulefile loading
    and unloading other modulefiles)
  o Sharing a license file between multiple
    modulefiles
  o Automatically unloading a modulefile upon a
    "module load" of a different version

There are some other experiments that I've run in the
past that I sadly did not document well; another reason
to get some of this into a shared document.

Do others have any interest in doing this as well?

Cheers,

- Leo
