I use this simple library module. It is called from the beginning of the
first script encountered in a set of scripts. This substitutes for a
require statement for the corresponding modules.
Call as:
unshift @INC, './lib';
require 'LibChk.pl';
&LibChk::Install ( # check libraries for currency
'WhoisLib.pl',
'SocksLib.pl',
'DomRegLib.pl',
);
library:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
# LibChk.pl
#
# version 1.01 6-16-00
# copyright Michael Robinton michael@bizsystems.com
#
# WARNING!! httpd must be 'HUP'ed if this library is modified
#
# check for library changes and load if necessary or not present
#
package LibChk;
use vars qw ( %Modified ); # library modification times
# Input: list of libraries (path must be in @INC)
sub Install {
foreach my $i (@_) {
if ( ! exists $Modified{$i} || # if undefined time
! exists $INC{$i} || # missing
$Modified{$i} != (stat "./$INC{$i}" )[9] ) { # or changed
delete $INC{$i} if defined $INC{$i};
require $i;
$Modified{$i} = (stat "./$INC{$i}" )[9];
}
}
}
