Man, reputer is going to answer all my reputation questions.Here are some comments I have after having had a bit of a play with it.
- The documentation is extremely good and to the point. Too bad there is not a lot of it :)
- When you run reputer and click on its link to come to this page, the URL appears as
http://www.perlmonks.org//index.pl?node=reputer+reply which makes things barf later
on. This could be because I set my "domain" as http://www.perlmonks.org/ (note the trailing slash).
- When I started it up, the script died with a mysterious error (okay, it coughed up the line
number). Turns out that in sub getsave had code like
open(DAT,"> $_[0]") or die "$!";
I think it's better to be more explicit about what's going on
open(DAT,"> $_[0]") or die "open $_[0] for output: $!";
- From here I was able to figure out what was going on, namely, a place to write the
reputer data files, which gets back to the documentation... it's takes a bit of sleuthing
to find out what the script wants in order to get it going. Some of the things included:
setting up a directory chowned to nobody, fixing the shebang line
- When I ran the script with warnings enabled it spewed loads of messages into the
error_log. Are you interested in patches?
- Is your spacebar broken? A little whitespace would go along way to lightening up the code
and making it a bit readable, e.g. lining up assignments, a space between my and the variable it declares
More later as I play further.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
