94 | =head1 NAME |
95 | |
96 | perlmodlib - constructing new Perl modules and finding existing ones |
97 | |
2e1d04bc |
98 | =head1 THE PERL MODULE LIBRARY |
99 | |
7ef5744c |
100 | Many modules are included in the Perl distribution. These are described |
2e1d04bc |
101 | below, and all end in F<.pm>. You may discover compiled library |
7ef5744c |
102 | files (usually ending in F<.so>) or small pieces of modules to be |
2e1d04bc |
103 | autoloaded (ending in F<.al>); these were automatically generated |
104 | by the installation process. You may also discover files in the |
105 | library directory that end in either F<.pl> or F<.ph>. These are |
106 | old libraries supplied so that old programs that use them still |
107 | run. The F<.pl> files will all eventually be converted into standard |
108 | modules, and the F<.ph> files made by B<h2ph> will probably end up |
109 | as extension modules made by B<h2xs>. (Some F<.ph> values may |
110 | already be available through the POSIX, Errno, or Fcntl modules.) |
111 | The B<pl2pm> file in the distribution may help in your conversion, |
112 | but it's just a mechanical process and therefore far from bulletproof. |
113 | |
114 | =head2 Pragmatic Modules |
115 | |
116 | They work somewhat like compiler directives (pragmata) in that they |
117 | tend to affect the compilation of your program, and thus will usually |
118 | work well only when used within a C<use>, or C<no>. Most of these |
119 | are lexically scoped, so an inner BLOCK may countermand them |
120 | by saying: |
121 | |
122 | no integer; |
123 | no strict 'refs'; |
124 | no warnings; |
125 | |
126 | which lasts until the end of that BLOCK. |
127 | |
128 | Some pragmas are lexically scoped--typically those that affect the |
129 | C<$^H> hints variable. Others affect the current package instead, |
130 | like C<use vars> and C<use subs>, which allow you to predeclare a |
131 | variables or subroutines within a particular I<file> rather than |
132 | just a block. Such declarations are effective for the entire file |
133 | for which they were declared. You cannot rescind them with C<no |
134 | vars> or C<no subs>. |
135 | |
136 | The following pragmas are defined (and have their own documentation). |
137 | |
138 | =over 12 |
139 | |
140 | EOF |
141 | |
142 | print OUT $_ for (sort @pragma); |
143 | |
144 | print OUT <<EOF; |
145 | =back |
146 | |
147 | =head2 Standard Modules |
148 | |
149 | Standard, bundled modules are all expected to behave in a well-defined |
150 | manner with respect to namespace pollution because they use the |
151 | Exporter module. See their own documentation for details. |
152 | |
7ef5744c |
153 | It's possible that not all modules listed below are installed on your |
154 | system. For example, the GDBM_File module will not be installed if you |
155 | don't have the gdbm library. |
156 | |
2e1d04bc |
157 | =over 12 |
158 | |
159 | EOF |
160 | |
161 | print OUT $_ for (sort @mod); |
162 | |
163 | print OUT <<'EOF'; |
164 | =back |
165 | |
166 | To find out I<all> modules installed on your system, including |
167 | those without documentation or outside the standard release, |
a4373870 |
168 | just use the following command (under the default win32 shell, |
169 | double quotes should be used instead of single quotes). |
2e1d04bc |
170 | |
a4373870 |
171 | % perl -MFile::Find=find -MFile::Spec::Functions -Tlwe \ |
172 | 'find { wanted => sub { print canonpath $_ if /\.pm\z/ }, |
173 | no_chdir => 1 }, @INC' |
2e1d04bc |
174 | |
8518420c |
175 | (The -T is here to prevent '.' from being listed in @INC.) |
2e1d04bc |
176 | They should all have their own documentation installed and accessible |
177 | via your system man(1) command. If you do not have a B<find> |
178 | program, you can use the Perl B<find2perl> program instead, which |
179 | generates Perl code as output you can run through perl. If you |
180 | have a B<man> program but it doesn't find your modules, you'll have |
181 | to fix your manpath. See L<perl> for details. If you have no |
182 | system B<man> command, you might try the B<perldoc> program. |
183 | |
8518420c |
184 | Note also that the command C<perldoc perllocal> gives you a (possibly |
185 | incomplete) list of the modules that have been further installed on |
186 | your system. (The perllocal.pod file is updated by the standard MakeMaker |
187 | install process.) |
188 | |
2e1d04bc |
189 | =head2 Extension Modules |
190 | |
191 | Extension modules are written in C (or a mix of Perl and C). They |
192 | are usually dynamically loaded into Perl if and when you need them, |
da75cd15 |
193 | but may also be linked in statically. Supported extension modules |
2e1d04bc |
194 | include Socket, Fcntl, and POSIX. |
195 | |
196 | Many popular C extension modules do not come bundled (at least, not |
197 | completely) due to their sizes, volatility, or simply lack of time |
198 | for adequate testing and configuration across the multitude of |
199 | platforms on which Perl was beta-tested. You are encouraged to |
200 | look for them on CPAN (described below), or using web search engines |
7ef5744c |
201 | like Alta Vista or Google. |
2e1d04bc |
202 | |
203 | =head1 CPAN |
204 | |
205 | CPAN stands for Comprehensive Perl Archive Network; it's a globally |
206 | replicated trove of Perl materials, including documentation, style |
207 | guides, tricks and traps, alternate ports to non-Unix systems and |
208 | occasional binary distributions for these. Search engines for |
1577cd80 |
209 | CPAN can be found at http://www.cpan.org/ |
2e1d04bc |
210 | |
211 | Most importantly, CPAN includes around a thousand unbundled modules, |
212 | some of which require a C compiler to build. Major categories of |
213 | modules are: |

1048 | =head1 Modules: Creation, Use, and Abuse |
1049 | |
1050 | (The following section is borrowed directly from Tim Bunce's modules |
1051 | file, available at your nearest CPAN site.) |
1052 | |
1053 | Perl implements a class using a package, but the presence of a |
1054 | package doesn't imply the presence of a class. A package is just a |
1055 | namespace. A class is a package that provides subroutines that can be |
1056 | used as methods. A method is just a subroutine that expects, as its |
1057 | first argument, either the name of a package (for "static" methods), |
1058 | or a reference to something (for "virtual" methods). |
1059 | |
1060 | A module is a file that (by convention) provides a class of the same |
1061 | name (sans the .pm), plus an import method in that class that can be |
1062 | called to fetch exported symbols. This module may implement some of |
1063 | its methods by loading dynamic C or C++ objects, but that should be |
1064 | totally transparent to the user of the module. Likewise, the module |
1065 | might set up an AUTOLOAD function to slurp in subroutine definitions on |
1066 | demand, but this is also transparent. Only the F<.pm> file is required to |
1067 | exist. See L<perlsub>, L<perltoot>, and L<AutoLoader> for details about |
1068 | the AUTOLOAD mechanism. |
1069 | |

1075 | |
1076 | Do similar modules already exist in some form? |
2e1d04bc |
1077 | |
1078 | If so, please try to reuse the existing modules either in whole or |
1079 | by inheriting useful features into a new class. If this is not |
1080 | practical try to get together with the module authors to work on |
1081 | extending or enhancing the functionality of the existing modules. |
1082 | A perfect example is the plethora of packages in perl4 for dealing |
1083 | with command line options. |
1084 | |
1085 | If you are writing a module to expand an already existing set of |
1086 | modules, please coordinate with the author of the package. It |
1087 | helps if you follow the same naming scheme and module interaction |
1088 | scheme as the original author. |
1089 | |
ac634a9a |
1090 | =item * |
1091 | |
1092 | Try to design the new module to be easy to extend and reuse. |
2e1d04bc |
1093 | |
1094 | Try to C<use warnings;> (or C<use warnings qw(...);>). |
1095 | Remember that you can add C<no warnings qw(...);> to individual blocks |
1096 | of code that need less warnings. |
1097 | |
1098 | Use blessed references. Use the two argument form of bless to bless |
1099 | into the class name given as the first parameter of the constructor, |
1100 | e.g.,: |
1101 | |
1102 | sub new { |
1103 | my $class = shift; |
1104 | return bless {}, $class; |
1105 | } |
1106 | |
1107 | or even this if you'd like it to be used as either a static |
1108 | or a virtual method. |
1109 | |
1110 | sub new { |
1111 | my $self = shift; |
1112 | my $class = ref($self) || $self; |
1113 | return bless {}, $class; |
1114 | } |
1115 | |
1116 | Pass arrays as references so more parameters can be added later |
1117 | (it's also faster). Convert functions into methods where |
1118 | appropriate. Split large methods into smaller more flexible ones. |
1119 | Inherit methods from other modules if appropriate. |
1120 | |
1121 | Avoid class name tests like: C<die "Invalid" unless ref $ref eq 'FOO'>. |
1122 | Generally you can delete the C<eq 'FOO'> part with no harm at all. |
1123 | Let the objects look after themselves! Generally, avoid hard-wired |
1124 | class names as far as possible. |
1125 | |
1126 | Avoid C<< $r->Class::func() >> where using C<@ISA=qw(... Class ...)> and |
1127 | C<< $r->func() >> would work (see L<perlbot> for more details). |
1128 | |
1129 | Use autosplit so little used or newly added functions won't be a |
1130 | burden to programs that don't use them. Add test functions to |
1131 | the module after __END__ either using AutoSplit or by saying: |
1132 | |
1133 | eval join('',<main::DATA>) || die $@ unless caller(); |
1134 | |
1135 | Does your module pass the 'empty subclass' test? If you say |
1136 | C<@SUBCLASS::ISA = qw(YOURCLASS);> your applications should be able |
1137 | to use SUBCLASS in exactly the same way as YOURCLASS. For example, |
63acfd00 |
1138 | does your application still work if you change: C<< $obj = YOURCLASS->new(); >> |
1139 | into: C<< $obj = SUBCLASS->new(); >> ? |
2e1d04bc |
1140 | |
1141 | Avoid keeping any state information in your packages. It makes it |
1142 | difficult for multiple other packages to use yours. Keep state |
1143 | information in objects. |
1144 | |
1145 | Always use B<-w>. |
1146 | |
1147 | Try to C<use strict;> (or C<use strict qw(...);>). |
1148 | Remember that you can add C<no strict qw(...);> to individual blocks |
1149 | of code that need less strictness. |
1150 | |
1151 | Always use B<-w>. |
1152 | |

1153 | Follow the guidelines in L<perlstyle>. |

1159 | Some simple style guidelines |
2e1d04bc |
1160 | |
1161 | The perlstyle manual supplied with Perl has many helpful points. |

1163 | Coding style is a matter of personal taste. Many people evolve their |
1164 | style over several years as they learn what helps them write and |
1165 | maintain good code. Here's one set of assorted suggestions that |
1166 | seem to be widely used by experienced developers: |
1167 | |
1168 | Use underscores to separate words. It is generally easier to read |
1169 | $var_names_like_this than $VarNamesLikeThis, especially for |
1170 | non-native speakers of English. It's also a simple rule that works |
1171 | consistently with VAR_NAMES_LIKE_THIS. |
1172 | |
1173 | Package/Module names are an exception to this rule. Perl informally |
1174 | reserves lowercase module names for 'pragma' modules like integer |
1175 | and strict. Other modules normally begin with a capital letter and |
1176 | use mixed case with no underscores (need to be short and portable). |
1177 | |
1178 | You may find it helpful to use letter case to indicate the scope |
1179 | or nature of a variable. For example: |
1180 | |
1181 | $ALL_CAPS_HERE constants only (beware clashes with Perl vars) |
1182 | $Some_Caps_Here package-wide global/static |
1183 | $no_caps_here function scope my() or local() variables |
1184 | |
1185 | Function and method names seem to work best as all lowercase. |
1186 | e.g., C<< $obj->as_string() >>. |
1187 | |
1188 | You can use a leading underscore to indicate that a variable or |
1189 | function should not be used outside the package that defined it. |
1190 | |

1192 | |
1193 | Select what to export. |
2e1d04bc |
1194 | |
1195 | Do NOT export method names! |
1196 | |
1197 | Do NOT export anything else by default without a good reason! |
1198 | |
1199 | Exports pollute the namespace of the module user. If you must |
1200 | export try to use @EXPORT_OK in preference to @EXPORT and avoid |
1201 | short or common names to reduce the risk of name clashes. |
1202 | |
1203 | Generally anything not exported is still accessible from outside the |
1204 | module using the ModuleName::item_name (or C<< $blessed_ref->method >>) |
1205 | syntax. By convention you can use a leading underscore on names to |
1206 | indicate informally that they are 'internal' and not for public use. |
1207 | |
1208 | (It is actually possible to get private functions by saying: |
1209 | C<my $subref = sub { ... }; &$subref;>. But there's no way to call that |
1210 | directly as a method, because a method must have a name in the symbol |
1211 | table.) |
1212 | |
1213 | As a general rule, if the module is trying to be object oriented |
1214 | then export nothing. If it's just a collection of functions then |
1215 | @EXPORT_OK anything but use @EXPORT with caution. |
1216 | |
ac634a9a |
1217 | =item * |
1218 | |
1219 | Select a name for the module. |
2e1d04bc |
1220 | |
1221 | This name should be as descriptive, accurate, and complete as |
1222 | possible. Avoid any risk of ambiguity. Always try to use two or |
1223 | more whole words. Generally the name should reflect what is special |
1224 | about what the module does rather than how it does it. Please use |
1225 | nested module names to group informally or categorize a module. |
1226 | There should be a very good reason for a module not to have a nested name. |
1227 | Module names should begin with a capital letter. |
1228 | |
1229 | Having 57 modules all called Sort will not make life easy for anyone |
1230 | (though having 23 called Sort::Quick is only marginally better :-). |
1231 | Imagine someone trying to install your module alongside many others. |
1232 | If in any doubt ask for suggestions in comp.lang.perl.misc. |
1233 | |
1234 | If you are developing a suite of related modules/classes it's good |
1235 | practice to use nested classes with a common prefix as this will |
1236 | avoid namespace clashes. For example: Xyz::Control, Xyz::View, |
1237 | Xyz::Model etc. Use the modules in this list as a naming guide. |
1238 | |
1239 | If adding a new module to a set, follow the original author's |
1240 | standards for naming modules and the interface to methods in |
1241 | those modules. |
1242 | |
4844a3be |
1243 | If developing modules for private internal or project specific use, |
1244 | that will never be released to the public, then you should ensure |
1245 | that their names will not clash with any future public module. You |
1246 | can do this either by using the reserved Local::* category or by |
1247 | using a category name that includes an underscore like Foo_Corp::*. |
1248 | |
2e1d04bc |
1249 | To be portable each component of a module name should be limited to |
1250 | 11 characters. If it might be used on MS-DOS then try to ensure each is |
1251 | unique in the first 8 characters. Nested modules make this easier. |

1255 | Have you got it right? |
2e1d04bc |
1256 | |
1257 | How do you know that you've made the right decisions? Have you |
1258 | picked an interface design that will cause problems later? Have |
1259 | you picked the most appropriate name? Do you have any questions? |
1260 | |
1261 | The best way to know for sure, and pick up many helpful suggestions, |
1262 | is to ask someone who knows. Comp.lang.perl.misc is read by just about |
1263 | all the people who develop modules and it's the best place to ask. |
1264 | |
1265 | All you need to do is post a short summary of the module, its |
1266 | purpose and interfaces. A few lines on each of the main methods is |
1267 | probably enough. (If you post the whole module it might be ignored |
1268 | by busy people - generally the very people you want to read it!) |
1269 | |
1270 | Don't worry about posting if you can't say when the module will be |
1271 | ready - just say so in the message. It might be worth inviting |
1272 | others to help you, they may be able to complete it for you! |

1323 | Adding a Copyright Notice. |
ac634a9a |
1324 | |
2e1d04bc |
1325 | How you choose to license your work is a personal decision. |
1326 | The general mechanism is to assert your Copyright and then make |
1327 | a declaration of how others may copy/use/modify your work. |
1328 | |
2a551100 |
1329 | Perl, for example, is supplied with two types of licence: The GNU GPL |
1330 | and The Artistic Licence (see the files README, Copying, and Artistic, |
1331 | or L<perlgpl> and L<perlartistic>). Larry has good reasons for NOT |
1332 | just using the GNU GPL. |
2e1d04bc |
1333 | |
1334 | My personal recommendation, out of respect for Larry, Perl, and the |
1335 | Perl community at large is to state something simply like: |
1336 | |
1337 | Copyright (c) 1995 Your Name. All rights reserved. |
1338 | This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or |
1339 | modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. |
1340 | |
1341 | This statement should at least appear in the README file. You may |
1342 | also wish to include it in a Copying file and your source files. |
1343 | Remember to include the other words in addition to the Copyright. |

1347 | Give the module a version/issue/release number. |
2e1d04bc |
1348 | |
1349 | To be fully compatible with the Exporter and MakeMaker modules you |
1350 | should store your module's version number in a non-my package |
1351 | variable called $VERSION. This should be a floating point |
1352 | number with at least two digits after the decimal (i.e., hundredths, |
1353 | e.g, C<$VERSION = "0.01">). Don't use a "1.3.2" style version. |
1354 | See L<Exporter> for details. |
1355 | |
1356 | It may be handy to add a function or method to retrieve the number. |
1357 | Use the number in announcements and archive file names when |
1358 | releasing the module (ModuleName-1.02.tar.Z). |
1359 | See perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker.pm for details. |

1363 | How to release and distribute a module. |
2e1d04bc |
1364 | |
1365 | It's good idea to post an announcement of the availability of your |
1366 | module (or the module itself if small) to the comp.lang.perl.announce |
1367 | Usenet newsgroup. This will at least ensure very wide once-off |
1368 | distribution. |
1369 | |
1370 | If possible, register the module with CPAN. You should |
1371 | include details of its location in your announcement. |
1372 | |
1373 | Some notes about ftp archives: Please use a long descriptive file |
1374 | name that includes the version number. Most incoming directories |
1375 | will not be readable/listable, i.e., you won't be able to see your |
1376 | file after uploading it. Remember to send your email notification |
1377 | message as soon as possible after uploading else your file may get |
1378 | deleted automatically. Allow time for the file to be processed |
1379 | and/or check the file has been processed before announcing its |
1380 | location. |
1381 | |
1382 | FTP Archives for Perl Modules: |
1383 | |
1384 | Follow the instructions and links on: |

1418 | There is no requirement to convert anything. |
2e1d04bc |
1419 | |
1420 | If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Perl 4 library scripts should |
1421 | continue to work with no problems. You may need to make some minor |
1422 | changes (like escaping non-array @'s in double quoted strings) but |
1423 | there is no need to convert a .pl file into a Module for just that. |

1426 | |
1427 | Consider the implications. |
2e1d04bc |
1428 | |
1429 | All Perl applications that make use of the script will need to |
1430 | be changed (slightly) if the script is converted into a module. Is |
1431 | it worth it unless you plan to make other changes at the same time? |

1434 | |
1435 | Make the most of the opportunity. |

1436 | |
1437 | If you are going to convert the script to a module you can use the |
1438 | opportunity to redesign the interface. The guidelines for module |
1439 | creation above include many of the issues you should consider. |

1512 | =head1 NOTE |
1513 | |
1514 | Perl does not enforce private and public parts of its modules as you may |
1515 | have been used to in other languages like C++, Ada, or Modula-17. Perl |
1516 | doesn't have an infatuation with enforced privacy. It would prefer |
1517 | that you stayed out of its living room because you weren't invited, not |
1518 | because it has a shotgun. |
1519 | |
1520 | The module and its user have a contract, part of which is common law, |
1521 | and part of which is "written". Part of the common law contract is |
1522 | that a module doesn't pollute any namespace it wasn't asked to. The |
1523 | written contract for the module (A.K.A. documentation) may make other |
1524 | provisions. But then you know when you C<use RedefineTheWorld> that |
1525 | you're redefining the world and willing to take the consequences. |
