ShellUtil

ShellUtil

• bivio: one shell script (to rule them all :-)

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Bivio::ShellUtil;
Bivio::ShellUtil->required_main(@ARGV);

• first shell argument specifies a module name (looked up by our ClassLoader)

• second shell argument specifies a method on that module

• any following arguments are passed into the method

• standard flags for setting realms, users, input, output, and similar

• (did we mention that we use perl for everything)
