PerlHoo::Summary
In this article, we crafted a simple Web directory using regular directories and comma delimited data files. Let's review our requirements and see how we did:
- Organizes information hierarchically
- Contains information about resources on the Internet
- Allows users to suggest new resources
- Allows editors to modify the directory content
- Is Simple to maintain
- Takes less than 1 week to develop
- Exports and imports directory content from/to multiple sources
In under 100 lines of code, we were able to meet requirements 1,2,4, and 5. Not bad for the equivalent of half a day's work. Still, requirements 3 and 7 will require some work. In Part II of the PerlHoo series, we will complete requirement 3 which will allow users to submit recommended additions to our Web directory.
