A PERL script to aid in the setup of Serendipity Blog (S9Y) especially in a
|
|
shared environment.
|

This script is released to the public domain under the GPL licence, it is free

These notes are intended to assist others in developing the script to provide
|
|
extra functionality, and convert it for use on alternative platforms.
|
|
|
|
Initial development of the script took place in a Linux environment, and it is
|
|
therefore likely to contain commands and features which may not work on other
|
|
platforms (e.g. Windows).
|
|
|
|
Files making up the complete package are spread across a directory hierarchy, and
|
|
generally contain only one subroutine.

In order to convert this script for Windows usage you will need to resolve any
|
|
issues surrounding functions as described below, amongst others.
|
|
|
|
1. The command system('clear') is used to clear the terminal screen in menus and
|
|
elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
2. The commands chmod and chown are used in the file output routines.
|
|
|
|
3. Sudo functionality is provided through system('') calls that contain the sudo
|
|
command prefix.
|
|
|
|
4. The path/name of the datafile used to store data between runs is set in
|
|
./include/data/init_vars.pl, which includes '/'.
|
|
|
|
5. Login UID/GID and superuser information is collected in
|
|
./include/data/init_vars.pl using PERL '$' variables and the getpwuid()
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
6. Default data is set in ./include/data/init_data.pl, such as path names with
|
|
'/'.
|
|
|
|
7. Data is also set in ./include/data/check_globals.pl, such as path names with
|
|
'/'.
|
|
|
|
There will almost certainly be other issues that could affect the script
|
|
operation on a Windows platform, these are the ones I know may make/break the
|
|
script.
