Here is the problem as I understand it.
1. You have a ton of scripts that have hard coded paths
2. Each time a new deployment occurs, you must edit the paths
3. Your sick of manually editing the paths!
Proposal:
-- Create a script that anyone can use that will do the following.
1. Copy the files in questions (deploy them were they need to be)
2. For each file and path that needs a change, Prompt the user with the existing directory paths. Ask user if this is correct (if so, exit) if not ask user to specify the path.
3. Validate the users input.
4. Backup the original config files that you are about to change.
5. Use sed to change the path by replacing the old path in the file with what the user just requested.
6. Work on a more robust deployment plan
Here is a
link to some sed info to get you started

graphics::primitive::canvas
Graphics::Primitive::Canvas(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Graphics::Primitive::Canvas(3pm)
NAME
Graphics::Primitive::Canvas - Component composed of paths
DESCRIPTION
Graphics::Primitive::Canvas is a component for drawing arbitrary things. It holds Paths and Operations.
SYNOPSIS
use Graphics::Primitive::Canvas;
my $canvas = Graphics::Primitive::Canvas->new;
$canvas->move_to($point); # or just $x, $y
$canvas->do($op);
DESCRIPTION
The Canvas is a container for multiple Paths. It has a path that is the operative path for all path-related methods. You can treat the
Canvas as if it was a path, calling methods like line_to or move_to.
When you are ready to perform an operation on the path, call the do method with the operation you want to call as an argument. Drawing a
line and stroking it would look like:
$canvas->move_to(0, 0);
$canvas->line_to(10, 10);
my $op = Graphics::Primitive::Operation::Stroke->new;
$stroke->brush->color(
Graphics::Color::RGB->new(red => 0, blue => 1, green => 1)
);
$canvas->do($op);
When you instantiate a Canvas a newly instantiated path resides in path. After you call do that current path is moved to the paths list
and new path is placed in current_path. If you want to keep the path around you can call save before do then call restore to put a saved
copy of the path back into path.
METHODS
Constructor
new Creates a new Graphics::Primitive::Canvas
Instance Methods
do Given an operation, pushes the current path onto the path stack.
FIXME: Example
path
The current path this canvas is using.
path_count
Count of paths in paths.
paths
Arrayref of hashrefs representing paths combined with their operations:
[
{
path => $path,
op => $op
},
]
restore
Replace the current path by popping the top path from the saved path list.
save
Copy the current path and push it onto the stack of saved paths.
saved_paths
List of saved paths. Add to the list with save and pop from it using restore.
saved_path_count
Count of paths saved in saved_paths.
