Fry::Shell 0.15

Fry::Shell is a flexible shell framework which encourages using loadable libraries of functions. SYNOPSIS From the commandline: perl -MFry::Shell -eshell OR In a script: package MyShell; use Fry::Shell; #subs sub evalIt { my $cls = shift; my $code = ($cls->Flag(strict)) ? use strict; : ; $code .= "@_"; eval "$code"; } sub listStations { my $cls = shift; my @stations = ( {name=>high energy trance/techno,ip=>http://64.236.34.196:80/stream/1003}, {name=>macondo salsa,ip=>http://165.132.105.108:8000}, {name=>new age,ip=>http://64.236.34.67:80/stream/2004}, ); $cls->saveArray(map{$_->{ip}} @stations); return map {$_->{name}} @stations; } #set shell prompt my $prompt = "Clever prompt: "; #initialize shell and load a command and an option my $sh = Fry::Shell->new(prompt=>$prompt, load_obj=>{ cmds=>{listStations=>{a=>lS}}, opts=>{strict=>{type=>flag,a=>n,default=>0}} } ); #begin shell loop $sh->shell(@ARGV); ####end of example, start of other possible methods #run shell once $sh->once(@ARGV); #loads libraries and runs each librarys &_initLib $sh->initLibs(@modules); $sh->loadFile($file); $sh->loadPlugins($myplugin); $sh->runCmd($cmd); Fry::Shell is a simple and flexible way to create a shell. Unlike most other light-weight shells, this module facilitates (un)loading libraries of functions and thus encourages creating shells tailored to several modules. Although the shell is currently only viewable at the commandline, the framework is flexible enough to support other views (especially a web one. This module is mainly serving(will serve) as the model in an MVC framework. From a user perspective it helps to know that a shell session consists of mainly four shell components (whose classes are known as core classes) : libraries (lib), commands (cmd), options (opt) and variables(var). Commands and options are the same as in any shell environment: a command mapping to a function and an option changing the behavior of a command ie changing variables within it or calling functions before the command. Variables store all the configurable data, including data relating to these commands and options. Libraries are containers for a related group of these components..
