Full Discussion: Listing the files in a directory
Homework and Emergencies Homework & Coursework Questions Listing the files in a directory Post 302737051 by Corona688 on Wednesday 28th of November 2012 10:24:54 AM

Thank you for filling out the template.

A few problems:

1) Variables can't have spaces in their names. No of dir = $# is wrong.

2) You shouldn't put spaces on either side of the equal sign. something = asdf is wrong. Do something=asdf

3) You got your if-statement nearly right, but not quite. Don't capitalize anything. Your ; is also in the wrong place.

If it helps, imagine it like this:

Code:
if [ something ]
then
...
fi

To combine any of that onto one line, you'd put ; where there's newlines, so you'd get if [ something ] ; then

4) You can't put a variable in a variable like this: ${$count} it just doesn't expand there. There's a better way, anyway.

The shift command will get rid of the first parameter. If your parameters were a b c d before, after you run shift they will be b c d. So you can loop until $# is zero, running shift at the bottom of your loop, using $1 every time instead of using $1, $2, $3...

Catalyst::Helper::HTML::FormFu(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       Catalyst::Helper::HTML::FormFu(3pm)

NAME

       Catalyst::Helper::HTML::FormFu - Helper to deploy HTML::FormFu template files.

SYNOPSIS

	   script/myapp_create.pl HTML::FormFu

DESCRIPTION

       As of version 0.02000, HTML::FormFu doesn't use the TT template files by default - it uses in internal rendering engine.

       If you don't want to customise the generated markup, you don't need to use Catalyst::Helper::HTML::FormFu at all.

       If you want to customise the generated markup, you'll need a local copy of the template files. To create the files in the default
       "root/formfu" directory, run:

	   script/myapp_create.pl HTML::FormFu

       To create the files in a different subdirectory of "root", pass the path as an argument. The following example would create the template
       files into the directory "root/forms".

	   script/myapp_create.pl HTML::FormFu forms

       You'll  also need to tell HTML::FormFu to use the TT renderer, this can be achieved with Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu, with the
       following Catalyst application YAML config:

	   ---
	   'Controller::HTML::FormFu':
	     constructor:
	       render_method: tt
