NAME
File::SafeDO -- safer do file for perl
SYNOPSIS
use File::SafeDO qw(
DO
doINCLUDE
);
$rv = DO($file,[optional no warnings string])
DESCRIPTION
* $rv = DO($file,[optional] "no warnings string");
This is a fancy 'do file'. It first checks that the file exists and
is readable, then does a 'do file' to pull the variables and
subroutines into the current name space. The 'do' is executed with
full perl warnings so that syntax and construct errors are reported
to STDERR. A string of no warnings may optionally be specified as a
second argument. This is equivalent to saying:
no warnings qw(string of no values);
See: man perllexwarnings for a full listing of warning names.
input: file/path/name,
[optional] string of "no" warnings
returns: last value in file
or undef on error
prints warning
i.e. DO('myfile','once redefine');
This will execute 'myfile' safely and suppress 'once' and 'redefine'
warnings to STDERR.
* $rv = doINCLUDE($file,[optional] "no warnings string");
The function is similar to DO above with the addition of recursive
loads.
Function will recursively load a file which returns a hash pointer
with the a key of the form:
'INCLUDE' => somefile.
The file which it loads may contain only HASHs or SUBs. The HASH
KEYS will be promoted into the parent hash, augmenting and replacing
existing keys already present. Subroutines are simply imported into
the name space as is the case with a 'do' or 'require'.
