CodeKit Perl Source Code Setup

[PHP Setup] [Index] [Code Administration] ## CodeKit Perl Source Code Setup Read the Overview and the Code Table Setup pages first. The CodeKit Perl source code is in the perl directory:
        CodeKit.pm        - CodeKit module definition.
        ck_admin.pl       - Setup for ck_admin_main.pl.
        ck_admin_main.pl  - CodeKit Translation Utility.
        ck_connect.pl     - Database connection setup.
        ck_demo.pl        - CodeKit Demo page.
        regression.test   - Regression test.
        Makefile.PL       - Makefile setup.
CodeKit.pm requires the DBI.pm module. The Translation Utility and the Demo page need the CGI.pm module. #### 1. Database Schema and Core Record Loading Read and follow directions for Code Table Setup. Load and test the ck_code table schema definition as well as the core data records. If you want to run the demo load the demo data records as well. #### 2. Database Connection Setup Customize the ck_connect.pl file to open a database handle to your database. If your application setup has already opened a database handle, use that handle instead of opening a new one. The handle should be set up to autocommit. ck_connect.pl is used by ck_admin.pl, ck_demo.pl and by regression.test. #### 3. CodeKit.pm Installation Copy the CodeKit.pm file into a directory on your Perl include path. Or do the makefile thing:
        $ perl Makefile.PL
        $ make
        $ make test
        # make install
Run regression.test on the basic BabelKit class functions. This will fail unless you have completed the above steps! #### 4. CodeKit Administration Page Setup You may wish to customize the ck_admin.pl file to your situation: Require and open a CodeKit handle. Set the $perm_add, $perm_upd and $perm_del global variables. These let the user add, update and delete codes. Define the cka_sess_url() function. Customize this if you are carrying session identifiers in your urls. Require ck_admin_main.pl and call the cka_admin_main() function. It is fine to make multiple copies of ck_admin.pl to set up different permissions for different classes of users. #### 5. Demo Page Setup In order for the demo page to function, you will need to load the demo data records. [PHP Setup] [Index] [Code Administration]
