EBook::EPUB::Lite - module for generating EPUB documents
This module is a fork of EBook::EPUB to avoid the use of non-core, XS dependencies like Moose and Data::UUID, using instead Moo and UUID::Tiny. This module and the original one should be 1:1 compatible.
Version 0.71
use EBook::EPUB::Lite; # Create EPUB object my $epub = EBook::EPUB::Lite->new; # Set metadata: title/author/language/id $epub->add_title('Three Men in a Boat'); $epub->add_author('Jerome K. Jerome'); $epub->add_language('en'); $epub->add_identifier('1440465908', 'ISBN'); # Add package content: stylesheet, font, xhtml and cover $epub->copy_stylesheet('/path/to/style.css', 'style.css'); $epub->copy_file('/path/to/figure1.png', 'figure1.png', 'image/png'); $epub->encrypt_file('/path/to/CharisSILB.ttf', 'CharisSILB.ttf', 'application/x-font-ttf'); my $chapter_id = $epub->copy_xhtml('/path/to/page1.xhtml', 'page1.xhtml'); $epub->copy_xhtml('/path/to/notes.xhtml', 'notes.xhtml', linear => 'no' ); # Add top-level nav-point my $navpoint = $epub->add_navpoint( label => "Chapter 1", id => $chapter_id, content => 'page1.xhtml', play_order => 1 # should always start with 1 ); # Add cover image # Not actual epub standart but does the trick for iBooks my $cover_id = $epub->copy_image('/path/to/cover.jpg', 'cover.jpg'); $epub->add_meta_item('cover', $cover_id); # Generate resulting ebook $epub->pack_zip('/path/to/three_men_in_a_boat.epub');

Set a unique identifier for the book, such as its ISBN or a URL
Add author of the document. For details see add_contributor.
Add primary creator or author of the publication of the publication. See add_contributor for details
Add person/organization that contributed to publication. $name is the name in human-readable form, e.g. "Arthur Conan Doyle", $formal_name is in form, suitable for machine processing, e.g. "Doyle, Arthur Conan". $role reflects kind of contribution to document. See Section 2.2.6 of OPF specification for list of possible values http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf/OPF_2.0_final_spec.html#Section2.2.6

Date of publication, in the format defined by "Date and Time Formats" at http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime and by ISO 8601 on which it is based. In particular, dates without times are represented in the form YYYY[-MM[-DD]]: a required 4-digit year, an optional 2-digit month, and if the month is given, an optional 2-digit day of month. $event is an optional description of event that date refers to. Possible values may include: creation, publication, and modification.

type includes terms describing general categories, functions, genres, or aggregation levels for content. The advised best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary.
Add refrence to an OPS Content Document that is a part of publication. %opts is an anonymous hash, for possible key values see EBook::EPUB::Lite::NCX::NavPoint. Method returns created EBook::EPUB::Lite::NCX::NavPoint object that could be used later for adding subsections.
Add non-standard item to metadata e.g. metadata from source documetn that is not described in Doublin Core spec.
Add xhtml data $data to $filename in package. Returns id of newly added entry.
%opts is an anonymous hash array of parameters:
'yes' or 'no'
Add stylesheet data $data as $filename in package. Returns id of newly added entry.
Add image data $data as $filename in package with content type $type (e.g. image/jpeg). Returns id of newly added entry.
Add existing xhtml file $source_file as $filename in package. Returns id of newly added entry.
Add existing css file $source_file as $filename in package. Returns id of newly added entry.
Add existing image file $source_file as $filename in package and set its content type to $type (e.g. image/jpeg). Returns id of newly added entry.
Add existing file $source_file as $filename in package and set its content type to $type (e.g. text/plain). Returns id of newly created entry. Returns id of newly added entry.
Add existing file $source_file as $filename in package and set its content type to $type (e.g. text/plain) Apply Adobe copy protection scheme to this file using book UUID as a key. Function croaks if key has not been set previously using. Returns id of newly added entry.
