JavaScript::Bookmarklet Description

Utility library and command-line script for converting human-readable JavaScript code into bookmarklet form A "bookmarklet" is a little JavaScript script that's intended to be run from a web browser's bookmarks bar or menu. The reason they work as "bookmarks" is that the JavaScript source code is crammed into the form of a URL using the "javascript:" scheme.JavaScript::Bookmarklet is based on a text filter John Gruber of Daring Fireball fame wrote that makes writing --- and especially revising --- JavaScript bookmarklets much more pleasant.Developing or modifying bookmarklets can be irritating, to say the least, because of this requirement that the JavaScript code be in the form of a URL.So the problem developing bookmarklets is this: You want to write and edit normal JavaScript code, but you need to publish hard-to-read URLs.This package provides to means of using this functionality -- as a utility method that can be called in an application and as a script that can be used on the command-line or in editors like BBEdit.SYNOPSIS use JavaScript::Bookmarklet qw(make_bookmarklet); my $src = < < JAVASCRIPT var str = document.title; alert(str); JAVASCRIPT my $bookmarklet = make_bookmarklet($src); print $bookmarklet;The output of this script would be: // javascript:var str = document.title;alert(str); var str = document.title; alert(str); Requirements: · Perl
