NAME

HackaMol::Roles::ExeRole -

VERSION

version 0.053

DESCRIPTION

This role adds executables/commands for running external programs. This is still a work in progress, and it will probably change (suggestions and help very much welcome!). The goal is to reduce the amount code required for building interfaces to external programs to be run on inputs to generate output in some directory that may be temporary... or not. Of course, exes do all sorts of things where other files may be written. Requirements (e.g. a method that tests functionality) for interfaces are still under development. Considering the trickiness of this sort of abstraction, it will cowardly left to the extensions to figure out. Recommendation: Capture::Tiny

METHODS

exists_exe

return 1 if exe exists, carp warning and return 0 if exe does not exist

ATTRIBUTES

command

isa Str that is rw

to be constructed from exe, exe_endops, in_fn, out_fn, etc. Then run and captured, which is left to scripts/interfaces

exe_endops

isa Str that is rw
