Creating a Perl Module

Creating a Perl Module Organic Design procedure

We need to make a general package first which:

• Collects a bunch of functions we use into one includable module
• Makes the module installable as one of potentially many modules within OrganicDesign::
• Adds the installation of it into the Debian Post Install
• Ensure easy upgradability (maybe by packaging into a debian package), see Creating a Debian package

Example

<perl> use OD::Wiki; $odwiki = OD::Wiki->new( url => 'http://www.organicdesign.co.nz', user => 'foo', pass => 'bar' );

$odwiki->edit( title => 'MyArticle', content => 'foo', summary => 'testing', minor => 1 ); </perl>
