Looks good Felix. I fixed a couple of grammar and spelling mistakes. It can be found here:

[perl-win32-gui-users] Perl Oasis

[Johan L. <jp...@bo...>]

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 and 
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 PerlApp 
application. You'll need Perl (probably 5.6) installed, but no other modules.


* Getting started

Start UltraEdit (it works without UltraEdit but not nearly as smoothly). 
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 system. 
Oasis does not change any source files.

The "=> Editor" button will open up the file in UltraEdit at the correct 
location.

The "=> Module" button will the selected module into Oasis.


** Features

The source is parsed in a simplistic way to extract meta-information which 
is displayed in the tree to the left. Select a node in the tree to display 
the corresponding text in the right pane. Double click to go to the editor.


* POD

The POD is parsed using POD::Parse. =head1 and =head2 items are displayed 
in the tree. Both the POD tab and the source tab is updated when you select 
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". Double 
click to load that module. Oasis will find the file if it's in a project of 
yours or in an @INC directory.


* Bookmarks

A Bookmark is a custom pattern used to identify certain parts of the code. 
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 :)

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
