Apache-VimColor

Apache::VimColor - Apache mod_perl Handler for syntax highlighting in HTML.

DESCRIPTION

This apache handler converts text files in syntax highlighted HTML output using Text::VimColor. If allowed by the configuration the visitor can also download the text-file without syntax highlighting.

Since Text::VimColor isn't the fastest module this version can use Cache::Cache to cache the parsed files. Also the ETag and LastModified HTTP headers are set to help browsers and proxy servers to cache the URL.

REQUIREMENTS

perl 5.6.0 or later
Apache2 <http://httpd.apache.org/>
mod_perl2 <http://perl.apache.org/>
vim <http://www.vim.org/>
Text::VimColor <http://cpan.org/modules/by-module/Text/>

Optional but recommended:

Cache::Cache <http://cpan.org/modules/by-module/Cache/>

INSTALL

Same procedure as every year, James!

To install, first make sure all of the above requirements are met. Then cd to the directory that contains this README file and type the following:

perl Makefile.PL

If you wish to install this bundle somewhere other than the default location then type something like:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/me/perl

Then to build run make

make

If you have write access to the install directory (or the one specified by PREFIX) then you can now type:

make install

Assuming that the install target is in your PERL5LIB path then you are now ready to use Apache::VimColor. Configurate your Apache as described in the man page. Enjoy!
