I finally got my little template working with this module. I found all the discussion and example code necessary, including cpan paragraph
I'm trying to use github to post bulky modules. author's github repo is the greater context in which this works:
sub get_html_filename{
use Net::SFTP::Foreign;
use File::Basename;
use Cwd;
use 5.01;
my $sftp = shift;
# get working directory
my $dir = getcwd();
my $word = basename($dir);
say "word is $word";
# get files from /pages
my $ls = $sftp->ls("/pages", wanted => qr/$word/)
or warn "unable to retrieve ".$sftp->error;
print "$_->{filename}\n" for (@$ls);
my @remote_files = map { $_->{filename} } @$ls;
say "files are @remote_files";
my $rref = \@remote_files;
my $filetype = "html";
my $old_num = highest_number($rref, $filetype, $word);
print "old num is $old_num\n";
my $new_num = $old_num + 1;
my $html_file = $word.$new_num.'.'.$filetype;
return $html_file;
}
Abridged output from stdout:
$ perl powell1.pl
title is powell
values are [correct]
object created, back in main
word is powell
powell1.html
powell2.html
files are powell1.html powell2.html
old num is 2
new file is powell3.html

The page, populated by mundane matters, accomplishes its humble task: page posted (no porn). How to dereference a reference to an array of hashrefs is something that runrig posted on 2013 node, to wit:
my $ls = $sftp->ls('/home/ftptest/inbound', no_wanted => qr/^\./ );
my @names_and_sizes = map { { filename => $_->{filename}, size => $_->
+{a}->size } } @$ls;
# or...
my %size = map { $_->{filename} => $_->{a}->size } @$ls;
To shoehorn this into an array of filenames, I turned this into:
my @remote_files = map { $_->{filename} } @$ls;
and I was back in business. Thanks all for comments and code. |
