Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Perl Oasis

[Erick <er...@je...>]

Johan,

That's pretty neat. I'm going to use it for doing fast editing, since I c=
an jump right to
the subroutine I want to work on, I really like that idea. The binary did=
n't work for me,
I had to compile it, after installing the needed modules of course. Also,=
 when you're
viewing it and then flip to another application and then back, and you st=
ill haven't
loaded anything, then the dropdownbox is erased and your nice icon disapp=
ears. I haven't
had time to look at your code, but these are two things I noticed right a=
way.

regards,

erick

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Perl Oasis


| Hi!
|
| Perl Oasis is a new Win32::GUI application I created. It's in beta
| currently, but feel free to download and spread the word. I'm very
| interested in comments and bug reports. The Perl license applies.
|
|
| ** Introduction
|
| Perl Oasis is a source/POD/class browser tightly integrated with
| (currently) UltraEdit. It makes it easy to navigate source code, POD an=
d
| modules.
|
|
| * Download
|
| http://www.bahnhof.se/~johanl/perl/Oasis/
|
| Oasis_source.zip contains the entire source tree.
|
| Oasis_binary.zip is the end-user distribution, a freestanding GUI PerlA=
pp
| application. You'll need Perl (probably 5.6) installed, but no other mo=
dules.
|
|
| * Getting started
|
| Start UltraEdit (it works without UltraEdit but not nearly as smoothly)=
=2E
| Start Perl Oasis.
|
| Always, the file you currently have open in UltraEdit should appear in =
the
| topmost text field in Oasis. Click the "Load" button to bring the file =
into
| Oasis. You can also "Copy" a file in the Explorer, move to Oasis and
| "Paste" it into the text field (useful if you don't have UltraEdit).
|
| The file is parsed and the contents is displayed. Explore! Try opening =
a
| few of your own files, the Oasis source files and modules on your syste=
m.
| Oasis does not change any source files.
|
| The "=3D> Editor" button will open up the file in UltraEdit at the corr=
ect
| location.
|
| The "=3D> Module" button will the selected module into Oasis.
|
|
| ** Features
|
| The source is parsed in a simplistic way to extract meta-information wh=
ich
| is displayed in the tree to the left. Select a node in the tree to disp=
lay
| the corresponding text in the right pane. Double click to go to the edi=
tor.
|
|
| * POD
|
| The POD is parsed using POD::Parse. =3Dhead1 and =3Dhead2 items are dis=
played
| in the tree. Both the POD tab and the source tab is updated when you se=
lect
| a node.
|
|
| * Subroutines
|
| Subroutines are defined as lines that start with "sub something".
|
|
| * Used modules
|
| "Used modules" are defined as lines that start with "use something". Do=
uble
| click to load that module. Oasis will find the file if it's in a projec=
t of
| yours or in an @INC directory.
|
|
| * Bookmarks
|
| A Bookmark is a custom pattern used to identify certain parts of the co=
de.
| You can define your own by editing the config file resource/pde.xml.
|
| Example: the bookmark "Todo" is defined as lines that contain "##todo"
| (load the file lib/PDE/App.pm to see an example of this).
|
| I'd appreciate suggestions for useful default Bookmark patterns.
|
|
| * Supported Editors
|
| Currently only UltraEdit is supported because... well... that's what I =
use.
| If you need support for another editor, please e-mail me
| (mailto:jo...@ba...).
|
|
| ** Configuration
|
| Edit the config file resource/pde.xml. Be careful. Keep a backup copy. =
The
| most useful thing you can configure is which features should be parsed =
and
| displayed (that's doPOD, doSub etc.)
|
| The config should eventually be managed through Edit | Preferences...
|
|
| Like I said, it's a beta so comments, bug reports and feature requests =
are
| on the top of my wish list :)
