Utilities page

This page is seriously under construction.

I keep writing utilities that are useful, but don't get seen outside of the systems group here.

As I get time, I'll be cleaning up some and placing them here.

The skimpy collection so far

Tree Walking stuff

• (Perl) Libraries.
  • paths.pm, libraries to convert relative paths to absolute and back.
  • urls.pm, libraries to parse URL's, convert relative to absolute and back, all following RFC 2396.
  • configdirsvshtml.pm, libraries to map between directories and URLs on a given machine.
  • Tree Walk Library, routines to walk a unix directory structure.
  • URL parsing and building routines.
  • human.pm Routines to put out a date in normal American form: "May 27th, 2000".
• Main programs.
  • treedir.perl, a utility to produce ASCII art from a directory tree. This is just the treewalk package with dummy stubs. A number of system administrators here have found it very useful.
  • htmllinkdir.perl, A utility to produce cross reference lists of HTML references in a directory tree. (This probably has gross local assumptions... I'll clean it up later.
  • printdir.perl, a utility to produce ASCII art of a directory tree, annotating text files with a listing of their contents. (I think it is useless, but someone requested it.)
  • rebuild.perl, A replacement for unix make, with better syntax and more powerful rules. There is Some Documentation.
    • Example Command files.
      • Example.
      • CGI-BIN update.
      • Real Perl Project command file
      • Real Perl Project Test Directory Command file. (This file has a number of good examples of use.)
