There are many utilities like this, but this one is mine. Actually, I don't have anything solid yet, but my work for the day shall be dedicated to producing a sitemap generator that I can use on my own sites and integrate into other utilities I plan on creating in the near term future.
What makes mine different? Hopefully, the completenes of the utility, the clean interface, and the ease of use for first time sitemap generation and continued maintenance of said sitemap. Also, I need the ability to create sitemaps with a number of different interfaces, so it will produce sitemaps for Yahoo, Google, and an html sitemap page as well. It should be easily extensible so that I can add other templates in the future.
For templating and extensibility, I'm thinking the CPAN module HTML::Template would be good. But the first step is to find all of the files that I'm looking for. I've done this before with PHP, but I have a newfound interest in Perl, so I'm going to start of with that. Perhaps I'll create multiple interfaces so that people can pick and choose which one they want to install.
Step 1) Read directories, get file info, insert into database.
Of course, the one book I want right now i smissing and my safari account is full. What happened to my Perl Cookbook?
