Hi

I just wanted to hack a free nodelet hack (sic) on the fly, which automatically links any used or required module in code-sections to CPAN.

But I don't know what I'm doing wrong, can't make it work yet.

Not sure if it's a JS problem or related to Chrome and security issues (couldn't test in FF yet).

Before scratching all the efforts, I thought it might be reasonable to ask for help.

paste this into the JS Console

function linkCPAN() {
    let codes = document.getElementsByClassName('codetext');
    // let pattern = '$1<href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?$3">$3</
+a>';
    let replacer = function (match, p1, p2, p3) {
        return p1 + '<href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?' + p3 + '"
+>' + p3 + '</a>';
    };
    for (var i in codes) {
        if (!codes.hasOwnProperty(i)) continue;
        let text = codes[i];
        let inner = text.innerHTML;
        inner = inner.replace(/((use|require)\s+)((\w+)(::\w+)*)/g, re
+placer);
        console.log(inner);
        text.innerHTML = inner;
    }
}

and call linkCPAN()

you should see the properly replaced HTML in the console, but nothing happens in the window.

here some input for testing

use strict;
use Data::Dump;

Any ideas?

update

fixed JS has no hashes but objects bug with if (!codes.hasOwnProperty(i)) continue;
