Procedure.svg 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 our Debian packages

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>
