Welcome
WildBeard83,
The best way to achieve your desired results is always to break them down into smaller and smaller steps. Consider doing it manually and try to work out what tasks you need to do and then break each one down further.
Most languages end up with a very few basic concepts:-
- Execute in sequence
- Execute in a loop
- Execute depending on a condition
If you can refine your logic then it makes it easier to eventually write the code but computers are very obedient. They do
exactly what you tell them, even if that's not what you quite meant.
Running at midnight would mean scheduling with
cron would be well worthwhile.
So, to clarify your requirements:-
- Do you need to:-
- zip/compress each file individually
- zip/compress all the files for today into a single archive
- How will you match files based on the <daterange>
Sorry that there is no easy answer just yet, but if we can be certain of your needs, then I'm sure we can help you build something.
Regards,
Robin

file::find::rule::extending
File::Find::Rule::Extending(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Find::Rule::Extending(3)
NAME
File::Find::Rule::Extending - the mini-guide to extending File::Find::Rule
SYNOPSIS
package File::Find::Rule::Random;
use strict;
# take useful things from File::Find::Rule
use base 'File::Find::Rule';
# and force our crack into the main namespace
sub File::Find::Rule::random () {
my $self = shift()->_force_object;
$self->exec( sub { rand > 0.5 } );
}
1;
DESCRIPTION
File::Find::Rule went down so well with the buying public that everyone wanted to add extra features. With the 0.07 release this became a
possibility, using the following conventions.
Declare your package
package File::Find::Rule::Random;
use strict;
Inherit methods from File::Find::Rule
# take useful things from File::Find::Rule
use base 'File::Find::Rule';
Force your madness into the main package
# and force our crack into the main namespace
sub File::Find::Rule::random () {
my $self = shift()->_force_object;
$self->exec( sub { rand > 0.5 } );
}
Yes, we're being very cavalier here and defining things into the main File::Find::Rule namespace. This is due to lack of imaginiation on
my part - I simply can't find a way for the functional and oo interface to work without doing this or some kind of inheritance, and
inheritance stops you using two File::Find::Rule::Foo modules together.
For this reason try and pick distinct names for your extensions. If this becomes a problem then I may institute a semi-official registry
of taken names.
Taking no arguments.
Note the null prototype on random. This is a cheat for the procedural interface to know that your sub takes no arguments, and so allows
this to happen:
find( random => in => '.' );
If you hadn't declared "random" with a null prototype it would have consumed "in" as a parameter to it, then got all confused as it doesn't
know about a '.' rule.
