NAME

perldolicious - Mojolicious::Lite webapp that lets you search (with regexp) and display CPAN modules documentation

VERSION

Version 0.011.

SYNOPSIS

  perldolicious daemon
  # now point your web browser to the address http://localhost:3000/

  # or use a different port
  perldolicious daemon -l http://localhost:8000

  # or use the Mojolicious' builtin webserver morbo (assuming
  # perldolicious is installed in /usr/local/bin)
  morbo /usr/local/bin/perldolicious

DESCRIPTION

FEATURES

• Search CPAN modules with regular expressions.

• Modules that you wish to see its documentation don't have to be installed on your system. Since perldolicious uses Pod::Cpandoc under the hood.

• Pretty fast, since it stores the modules list cache in Storable format.

• Gradient-free, no-nonsense webpage. Although it'll cheerfully blink when necessary (it's all about priorities).

CONFIGURATIONS

You can configure the behavior of perldolicious by writing configuration file, stored at ~/.perldolicious/config.json (written in JSON format). Here are the recognized options:

• modules_cache_file. Specify different location to store the modules list cache file. Defaults to ~/.perldolicious/modules.storable.

• auto_download. Delete modules_cache_file and generate a new one by downloading the cpan package file 02packages.details.txt.gz if it's older than the specified number (in days). Default is set to 14 (two weeks).

• quiet. Send the server log to the file ~/.perldolicious/server.log instead of to STDERR. Default: false.

Example:

  $ cat ~/.perldolicious/config.json
  {
      "quiet": 1,
      "auto_download": 5,
      "modules_cache_file": "/Users/Syaltut/.modules"
  }

LIMITATIONS

• No pagination - which means you shouldn't use patterns like .* if you don't want your browser to eat up all of your computer's memory.

SEE ALSO

• Mojolicious

• Pod::Cpandoc
