Chatbot::Alpha::Sort is a Perl module for alphabetic sorting of Chatbot::Alpha documents.

SYNOPSIS

use Chatbot::Alpha::Sort;

# Create a new sorter.
my $sort = new Chatbot::Alpha::Sort();

# Sort your files.
$sort->start (
dir => ./before,
out => ./after,
ext => cba,
);

Chatbot::Alpha::Sort can take your numerous unsorted Alpha documents, and create nicely formatted documents from A.cba to Z.cba with triggers sorted alphabetically within each document.

METHODS

new (ARGUMENTS)

Creates a new Chatbot::Alpha::Sort object. You should only need one object, since each sort request creates its own Chatbot::Alpha, unless you intend to run multiple sorts at the same time.

Returns a Chatbot::Alpha::Sort instance.

version

Returns the version number of the module.

start (ARGUMENTS)

Starts the sorting process. ARGUMENTS is a hash that you must pass in to tell the module how to do things. The arguments are as follows:

dir => DIRECTORY
The directory at which your original Alpha documents
can be found. Defaults to CWD.
out => DIRECTORY
Another directory for which your newly formatted Alpha
documents will be written to. Defaults to CWD.
ext => EXTENSION
The file extension of your Alpha documents. Defaults
to cba
files => SORT_TYPE
The sorting method for which your new files will be sorted.
See below for the sort types.
