NAME

EPrints - Institutional Repository software

User Comments


SYNOPSIS

 use EPrints qw();
 
 my $session = EPrints::Session->new( 1, "demoprints" );
 
 ...
 
 $session->terminate;

User Comments


DESCRIPTION

See http://www.eprints.org/.

User Comments


Available Symbols

You can pass options to the EPrints package that effect the EPrints initialisation e.g. 

 use EPrints qw( no_check_user );

User Comments

Do not check the current user/group is the same as the user/group in Systemsettings.

User Comments


Debugging Slow Processes

This module installs a signal handler that will print a stack trace if given a USR2 signal (if your system supports this signal). To print a stack trace to the error log execute: 

$ kill -USR2 PID

Where PID is the id number of the stalled process.

A shell script will print the stack trace to the console.

User Comments


METHODS

User Comments


EPrints->abort( $errmsg )

Print an error message and exit. If running under mod_perl then print the error as a webpage and exit.

This subroutine is loaded before other modules so that it may be used to report errors when initialising modules.

User Comments


$ep = EPrints->new();

Construct a new EPrints system object.

User Comments


$repo = $ep->repository( $repository_id, %options );

Return the repository with the given ID, or undef. Options are... optional.

Options noise=>1, etc.

User Comments


$repo = $ep->current_repository( %options );
