This site is meant to be a publically editable and curated collection of Perl tutorials. It is based on Ikiwiki and uses Git as backend, with the wiki data in fact being stored on Github itself. This means that to edit the wiki you can use either the web interfaces, or fork the data repo and send pull requests on github.
The wiki has two main repositories:
- perltut-base - contains the wiki configuration as well as any plugins
- perltut-data - contains the wiki data itself
Setup process:
- clone git repo [[https://github.com/wchristian/ikiwiki]]
- follow instructions here: [[http://ikiwiki.info/install/]]
- create a user called
perltuthub, thensuto it andcd ~ - setup .ssh dir
- git clone [email protected]:perl-doc-cats/perl-tutorial-org-base.git .
- git clone [email protected]:perl-doc-cats/perl-tutorial-org-data.git PerlTutorialHub
- ikiwiki -setup ~/PerlTutorialHub.setup
- point web server at
public_html/PerlTutorialHub - set up empty cgi handler to execute ikiwiki.cgi ELF file
Infrastructure:
- the domainname perl-tutorial.org is owned by [[tinita]] (see the whois entry)
- the server is a linode instance owned by [[Mithaldu]], which is used for a variety of smaller online services as well
