PERL2HTML(1) General Commands Manual PERL2HTML(1) NAME perl2html - generates highlighted html-files from Perl source SYNOPSIS perl2html [options] [filename...] DESCRIPTION This manual page documents how to use perl2html. If no arguments are given on the command line of perl2html, it reads from stdin and writes to stdout. If invoked with filenames as arguments perl2html will write it's output into new files. Names of output files are generated by appending ".html" to the corresponding input filename. Installing as a CGI program perl2html can be installed as a CGI program and convert source files on the fly. In order to set this up for apache the webmaster has to add the two lines AddType text/x-perl .pl .pm Action text/x-perl /cgi-bin/perl2html to the webserver configuration file. perl2html depends on the web- server properly setting environment variable PATH_TRANSLATED to the pathname of the source file. If perl2html has been compiled with op- tion -DCOMPRESSION=1 then it will invoke gzip to compress the generated HTML before sending it to the requesting browser. Of course perl2html takes care to check if the browser accepts gzip encoding. OPTIONS -- Interpret all following arguments on the command line as file- names. This is useful, if you want to convert files beginning with a '-'. -b filename Insert the file 'filename' after converted data and before HTML footer. See also the -s option. -c Turns off CGI-script detection and HTTP header generation. This is needed to use perl2html as a subcommand in another CGI script. -h filename Insert the file 'filename' after the HTML headers and before the converted data. See also the -s option. -n Number lines and label them with 'line' followed by the line number. Empty lines get no label, but the linecounter will count them nevertheless. With this feature you can refer to special lines of code from other parts of the generated file or from ex- ternal files with a line like this: <A HREF="foo.pl.html#line301">Go to line 301</A> -s With this option you can suppress the generation of HTML head- ers. This is especially useful together with options -b file and -h file. -t title Set the title to 'title'. The default is the filename you con- verted or "stdin" if reading from stdin. This option is only used if -s is not set. -u Print usage information. -w width sets the WIDTH attribute for HTML tag <PRE>. If this option is not used a default of 80 is assumed. (Currently most browsers are ignoring this attribute). -V reports the version number of perl2html. EXIT STATUS perl2html returns 0 on success, 1 if input files are not existing/read- able, 2 if output files are not creatable/writable, 3 if invoked with illegal options and 4 if gzip cannot be invoked.
