Constant mirroring

I'm not sure how to best explain what I'd like to do, so let me give an example. I used to work in a department that deals with internet security. This department had an "internal" website (only people in the building can get on it) and an "external" website (anyone in the world can get on it -- like unix.com). One day I was told that someone was having trouble FTP'ing a file to the internal server. All he wanted to do was transfer the file between two computers -- he was going to FTP it up with one computer, then get it down from the other computer. He ended up FTP'ing the file to the external server to get the job done. It was deleted from the external server in a matter of minutes.

Apparently, the file he uploaded was "secret information" and it was determined by log files and stuff that someone else had downloaded it in those few minutes it was up there. It was also determined that the person who downloaded the file was actually a script that was constantly mirroring the server.

I now work somewhere else, and we have a number of websites. The management wants us to have an RSS feed (they actually don't even know what RSS is -- they just like to say it) that gets all the new stuff from all of our websites. Instead of making changes to each website, I thought it would be cool to have this same type of script that automatically grabs new information within minutes of it being posted.

I hope that makes sense. Sorry for story-time.

And no, I'm not the person that FTP'd the stuff. I wasn't cool enough to have access to "secrets". Smilie

NAME
PDF::API2::Annotation - annotation management METHODS
$ant = PDF::API2::Annotation->new Returns a annotation object (called from $page->annotation). $ant->link $page, %opts Defines the annotation as launch-page with page $page and options %opts (-rect, -border or 'dest-options'). $ant->url $url, %opts Defines the annotation as launch-url with url $url and options %opts (-rect and/or -border). $ant->file $file, %opts Defines the annotation as launch-file with filepath $file and options %opts (-rect and/or -border). $ant->pdfile $pdfile, $pagenum, %opts Defines the annotation as pdf-file with filepath $pdfile, $pagenum and options %opts (same as dest). $ant->text $text, %opts Defines the annotation as textnote with content $text and options %opts (-rect and/or -open). $ant->movie $file, $contentype, %opts Defines the annotation as a movie from $file with $contentype and options %opts (-rect). $ant->rect $llx, $lly, $urx, $ury Sets the rectangle of the annotation. $ant->border @b Sets the border-styles of the annotation, if applicable. $ant->content @lines Sets the text-content of the annotation, if applicable. $ant->open $bool Display the annotation either open or closed, if applicable. $ant->dest( $page, -fit => 1 ) Display the page designated by page, with its contents magnified just enough to fit the entire page within the window both horizontally and vertically. If the required horizontal and vertical magnification factors are different, use the smaller of the two, centering the page within the window in the other dimension. $ant->dest( $page, -fith => $top ) Display the page designated by page, with the vertical coordinate top positioned at the top edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire width of the page within the window. $ant->dest( $page, -fitv => $left ) Display the page designated by page, with the horizontal coordinate left positioned at the left edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire height of the page within the window. $ant->dest( $page, -fitr => [ $left, $bottom, $right, $top ] ) Display the page designated by page, with its contents magnified just enough to fit the rectangle specified by the coordinates left, bottom, right, and top entirely within the window both horizontally and vertically. If the required horizontal and vertical magnification factors are different, use the smaller of the two, centering the rectangle within the window in the other dimension. $ant->dest( $page, -fitb => 1 ) (PDF 1.1) Display the page designated by page, with its contents magnified just enough to fit its bounding box entirely within the window both horizontally and vertically. If the required horizontal and vertical magnification factors are different, use the smaller of the two, centering the bounding box within the window in the other dimension. $ant->dest( $page, -fitbh => $top ) (PDF 1.1) Display the page designated by page, with the vertical coordinate top positioned at the top edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire width of its bounding box within the window. $ant->dest( $page, -fitbv => $left ) (PDF 1.1) Display the page designated by page, with the horizontal coordinate left positioned at the left edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire height of its bounding box within the window. $ant->dest( $page, -xyz => [ $left, $top, $zoom ] ) Display the page designated by page, with the coordinates (left, top) positioned at the top-left corner of the window and the contents of the page magnified by the factor zoom. A zero(0) value for any of the parameters left, top, or zoom specifies that the current value of that parameter is to be retained unchanged. $ant->dest( $name ) (PDF 1.2) Connect the Annotation to a "Named Destination" defined elswere.
