Publish script: Code

A (very) simple Perl HTML preprocessor and automatic publisher that I threw together for this very web site.

The hpp.pl script is the HTML preprocessor. It supports #define, #include, #do to evaluate arbitrary Perl code, and has two system #defines, modifiedTime and createdTime of the file the script was actually run on (ie, %modifiedTime% in an #included file is the modified time of the file with the #include, not the one being #included). The result is printed to stdout, for easy shell piping.

The sendtempfile.pl script is a simple script using Net::FTP to automatically FTP a file (tempfile) to a server. It's designed to work in a similar set up to mine in that it uploads it to a directory under a given root (such as /markpasc/www) depending on the directory you're in under a given root (such as d:\work\web\web).

The publish.bat pipes hpp.pl's results to 'tempfile', then invokes sendtempfile.pl to upload that file to the server.
