When you deploy your software, do you also have a common directory structure associated with it? For instance, if I were to deploy to /home/my-user, would there be common directories under /home/my-user such as sh, log, bin, files? If so, you could develop a common approach to deployment by having your user enter in the common path to the directory.

For example:

#My Deployment Script

echo "Enter Deployment Directory"
read DEPLOY_DIR

if [ ! -d $DEPLOY_DIR ]
then
echo "$DEPLOY_DIR Not A Directory"
exitt 1
fi

export UNIX_ENV=$DEPLOY_DIR

. $UNIX_ENV/envFile #Source in the environment file

#envFile
#Add all path variables to the env file so
#that you never have to change a path #again!

export SH_PATH=$UNIX_ENV/sh
export BIN_PATH=$UNIX_ENV/bin
export LOG_PATH=$UNIX_ENV/log

If this is not an option, then you can used sed to change all of the paths based upon user input. There will be a little effort to ensure your changing the correct line in each file. This can easly be overcome by tagging the line in each file that you want to have changed. Make sure that before you change your original file that you make a backup!

html::display

HTML::Display(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					HTML::Display(3pm)

NAME

       HTML::Display - display HTML locally in a browser

SYNOPSIS

	 use strict;
	 use HTML::Display;

	 # guess the best value from $ENV{PERL_HTML_DISPLAY_CLASS}
	 # or $ENV{PERL_HTML_DISPLAY_COMMAND}
	 # or the operating system, in that order
	 my $browser = HTML::Display->new();
	 warn "# Displaying HTML using " . ref $browser;
	 my $location = "http://www.google.com/";
	 $browser->display(html => $html, location => $location);

	 # Or, for a one-off job :
	 display("<html><body><h1>Hello world!</h1></body></html>");

DESCRIPTION

       This module abstracts the task of displaying HTML to the user. The displaying is done by launching a browser and navigating it to either a
       temporary file with the HTML stored in it, or, if possible, by pushing the HTML directly into the browser window.

       The module tries to automagically select the "correct" browser, but if it dosen't find a good browser, you can modify the behaviour by
       setting some environment variables :

	 PERL_HTML_DISPLAY_CLASS

       If HTML::Display already provides a class for the browser you want to use, setting "PERL_HTML_DISPLAY_CLASS" to the name of the class will
       make HTML::Display use that class instead of what it detects.

	 PERL_HTML_DISPLAY_COMMAND

       If there is no specialized class yet, but your browser can be controlled via the command line, then setting "PERL_HTML_DISPLAY_COMMAND" to
       the string to navigate to the URL will make HTML::Display use a "system()" call to the string. A %s in the value will be replaced with the
       name of the temporary file containing the HTML to display.

   %HTML::Display::os_default
       The hash %HTML::Display::os_default contains pairs of class names for the different operating systems and routines that test whether this
       script is currently running under it. If you you want to dynamically add a new class or replace a class (or the rule), modify %os_default :

	 # Install class for MagicOS
	 $HTML::Display::os_default{"HTML::Display::MagicOS"}
	   = sub { $^O =~ qr/magic/i };

   __PACKAGE__->new %ARGS
   $browser->display( %ARGS )
       Will display the HTML. The following arguments are valid :

	 base	  => Base to which all relative links will be resolved
	 html	  => Scalar containing the HTML to be displayed
	 file	  => Scalar containing the name of the file to be displayed
						       This file will possibly be copied into a temporary file!

	 location    (synonymous to base)

       If only one argument is passed, then it is taken as if

	 html => $_[0]

       was passed.

EXPORTS

       The subroutine "display" is exported by default

COMMAND LINE USAGE

       Display some HTML to the user :

	 perl -MHTML::Display -e "display '<html><body><h1>Hello world</body></html>'"

       Display a web page to the user :

	 perl -MLWP::Simple -MHTML::Display -e "display get 'http://www.google.com'"

       Display the same page with the images also working :

	 perl -MLWP::Simple -MHTML::Display -e "display html => get('http://www.google.com'),
							location => 'http://www.google.com'"
