General
Please write your code to the general [StyleGuide] of EPrints
Below the license block, you need to document the name, description and synopsis (a synopsis is an example of usage) of the Package.
=head1 NAME EPrints::MyModule - A one line description of MyModule =head1 DESCRIPTION One or two paragraphs explaining the function of EPrints::MyModule. =head1 SYNOPSIS use EPrints::MyModule; my $obj = EPrints::MyModule->new( $opts ); $obj->do_thing( $thingy ); =head1 METHODS =over 4 =cut
After this overview section, the METHODS title begins the section for inline subroutine documentation.
Methods
Public Methods
Each public subroutine should have POD documentation above it, with hashes to separate it from the method above. A large module should probably be split into different sections, e.g. "CONSTRUCTOR METHODS", "ACCESSOR METHODS", etc. Private methods can be documented using Perl comments.
###################################################################### =pod =item $objname = EPrints::StyleGuide->my_sub( $arg1, [$opt_arg2], \%opts ) A description of what my_sub does and arguments it takes ($opt_arg2 is shown as optional by using brackets). A description of $arg1 if needed, along with an example: EPrints::StyleGuide->my_sub( "eprintid" ); EPrints::StyleGuide->my_sub( $arg1, undef, { opt1 => $var1, # What is var1 opt2 => $var2, # What is var2 } ); Further elaboration on the effect of $var2. =cut ###################################################################### sub my_sub { ... }
