Re: Continually updated code (discussion)

I might try this (IIRC< epoptai's done this with framechat already): post v.1 in Craft and include (in the comment body) a link to your home node or possibly directly to a location from which the latest version can be downloaded. 'Course, you'll need a stable, reliable connection for that.

Update No, I guess epoptai hasn't done that (yet, anyhow =)

Three cheers for the "Generosity" bit =)

perl -e 'print "How sweet does a rose smell? "; chomp $n = <STDIN>; $r
+ose = "smells sweet to degree $n"; *other_name = *rose; print "$other
+_name\n"'

framechat does have the ability to check for an updated version of itself on perlmonks as arturo suggests. This is done by providing a link on the help page that compares the script's version info with a hidden tag on a small node containing the current version info. reputer also has this feature. Update: deprecated asks for elaboration: The script contains the following hash: `my%info = ( version => '1.2', date => '20010510' );` [download] A small node on perlmonks contains the following HTML comment: `<!--INFO:version=1.1,date=20010415-->` [download] To check for an update, the user clicks a link that downloads the version node and compares it with the %info hash, if they differ a message with links to the new code appear. See the source links above for the code that does it. Perhaps a similar strategy can be used for a module, but having it check at intervals.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
