Perldoc Browser
Perldoc Browser requires at least Perl v5.20.0 and may have other requirements if you enable a search backend. Perl dependencies are listed in cpanfile. To install them, use cpanm:
cpanm --installdeps . # no search dependencies
cpanm --installdeps --with-feature=install . # for install command
cpanm --installdeps --with-feature=pg .
cpanm --installdeps --with-feature=es .
cpanm --installdeps --with-feature=sqlite .
cpanm --installdeps --with-all-features .Perldoc Browser is configured by perldoc-browser.conf in the application directory. The configuration file is a Perl hash. The hypnotoad key will be used to configure Hypnotoad if it is used to start the web application.
The search backend can be set using the search_backend key. Recognized values are pg, es, sqlite, and none (default: disables the search and indexing).
The pg backend requires Mojo::Pg and a PostgreSQL server running at least version 9.6. The pg configuration key must be set to a database connection URL in the form postgresql://user:password@host:port/database.
The es backend requires Search::Elasticsearch and an Elasticsearch server running at least version 6.0. The es configuration key may be set to the URL to connect to the server (defaults to http://localhost:9200).
The sqlite backend requires Mojo::SQLite. The database is stored in the application home directory as perldoc-browser.sqlite by default. This may be configured by setting the sqlite configuration key to a file path, which must be an absolute path to a writable directory.
Perldoc Browser renders documentation from any Perls it finds installed in the configured perls_dir, which defaults to perls in the application directory. If no Perls are found here, it will display documentation for the Perl interpreter currently in use. The install command can be used to use Perl::Build to install one or more Perls to this directory.
./perldoc-browser.pl install 5.10.1 5.28.0Once a search backend is enabled, Perls must be indexed in this backend for contents of documents and document/function/variable names to be available to the search. The index command will index or reindex the contents and names of one or more Perls.
./perldoc-browser.pl index 5.10.1 5.28.0
./perldoc-browser.pl index all # reindexes all Perls found in perls_dirDan Book <dbook@cpan.org>
