I wasn't sure anyone would care about the nitty gritty details of Webmin's helper programs, but I'm finding it an interesting exercise. As for CPAN, Jamie and I chatted about it last night over dinner, and he not only liked the idea of dropping it into CPAN, he suggested a few other interesting "ancient" pieces of code in Webmin that would enjoy some janitorial work, and might be useful for anyone doing systems management tasks.<br><br>I'm normalizing the versions, as we speak, (Webmin has a sort of odd way of versioning things, designed to provide continuity of lineage to systems that are the same, but restarted their version numbers...like Red Hat to Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise, while most folks will want the "real" versions rather than these "relative" versions) and will be wrapping up the second part of this article in the next day or so. Once that's done, I'll start in on a third installment about releasing to CPAN, which is something I've never done, so it'll be a nice learning experience.SwellJoeThu, 31 Jul 2008 23:59:03 -0000http://inthebox.webmin.com/old-school-to-new-school-refactoring-perl#comment-1606297Think you'd ever massage this into a module for CPAN? It would be really beneficial to a project I'm working on right now!KevinThu, 31 Jul 2008 23:05:58 -0000
