approach

The target is being able to batch process twiki pages. E.G. for spell checking, renaming the department name to the current on and so on. two scripts are provided:

• get_wiki_data.pl, which retrieves the raw version of a twiki page from a twiki server and stores it as a file locally.

• set_wiki_data.pl, which uses a local file and stores it as a twiki topic on a twiki server.

usage

      get_wiki_data.pl --url=http://localhost/twiki/bin/edit/Projects/TestLogbuch --fh=ProjectsTestLogbuch.twiki
      ispell  ProjectsTestLogbuch.twiki # or perl, sed ...
      set_wiki_data.pl --url=http://localhost/twiki/bin/edit/Projects/TestLogbuch --fh=ProjectsTestLogbuch.twiki

More attractive application are things like having some cron job monitor something ( a CVS module for example) and publish the results on a Twiki.

further documentation is in the man pages available after installation.

installation

Pretty much standard:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test # this will probably fail in test 2 and 3 if you do not ha e my setup. Don't worry
make install

code

• TwikiClient-1.9.tar.gz: perl source package
