Break perlwrap.pm into multiple files. Break perlwrap.pm out into .pm files in perl/lib. With this commit, we keep perlwrap.pm around and still load it as before. The next commit will delete perlwrap.pm and start loading perl files directly from disk at runtime.

10=head1 DESCRIPTION
11
12The BarnOwl module contains the core of BarnOwl's perl
13bindings. Source in this module is also run at startup to bootstrap
14barnowl by defining things like the default style.
15
16=for NOTE
17These following functions are defined in perlglue.xs. Keep the
18documentation here in sync with the user-visible commands defined
19there!
20
21=head2 command STRING
22
23Executes a BarnOwl command in the same manner as if the user had
24executed it at the BarnOwl command prompt. If the command returns a
25value, return it as a string, otherwise return undef.
26
27=head2 getcurmsg
28
29Returns the current message as a C<BarnOwl::Message> subclass, or
30undef if there is no message selected
31
32=head2 getnumcols
33
34Returns the width of the display window BarnOwl is currently using
35
36=head2 getidletime
37
38Returns the length of time since the user has pressed a key, in
39seconds.
40
41=head2 zephyr_getrealm

45=head2 zephyr_getsender
46
47Returns the fully-qualified name of the zephyr sender barnowl is
48running as, e.g. C<nelhage@ATHENA.MIT.EDU>
49
50=head2 zephyr_zwrite COMMAND MESSAGE
51
52Sends a zephyr programmatically. C<COMMAND> should be a C<zwrite>
53command line, and C<MESSAGE> is the zephyr body to send.
54
55=head2 ztext_stylestrip STRING
56
57Strips zephyr formatting from a string and returns the result
58
59=head2 zephyr_getsubs
60
61Returns the list of subscription triples <class,instance,recipient>,
62separated by newlines.
63
64=head2 queue_message MESSAGE
65
66Enqueue a message in the BarnOwl message list, logging it and
67processing it appropriately. C<MESSAGE> should be an instance of
68BarnOwl::Message or a subclass.
69
70=head2 admin_message HEADER BODY
71
72Display a BarnOwl B<Admin> message, with the given header and body.
73
74=head2 start_question PROMPT CALLBACK
75
76Displays C<PROMPT> on the screen and lets the user enter a line of
77text, and calls C<CALLBACK>, which must be a perl subroutine
78reference, with the text the user entered
79
80=head2 start_password PROMPT CALLBACK
81
82Like C<start_question>, but echoes the user's input as C<*>s when they
83input.
84
85=head2 start_edit_win PROMPT CALLBACK
86
87Like C<start_question>, but displays C<PROMPT> on a line of its own
88and opens the editwin. If the user cancels the edit win, C<CALLBACK>
89is not invoked.
90
91=head2 get_data_dir
92
93Returns the BarnOwl system data directory, where system libraries and
94modules are stored
95
96=head2 get_config_dir
97
98Returns the BarnOwl user configuration directory, where user modules
99and configuration are stored (by default, C<$HOME/.owl>)
100
101=head2 popless_text TEXT
102
103Show a popup window containing the given C<TEXT>
104
105=head2 popless_ztext TEXT
106
107Show a popup window containing the provided zephyr-formatted C<TEXT>
108
109=head2 error STRING

112callback or hook called in perl code from BarnOwl, a C<die> will be
113caught and passed to C<error>.
114
115=head2 getnumcolors
116
117Returns the number of colors this BarnOwl is capable of displaying
118
119=head2 add_dispatch FD CALLBACK
120
121Adds a file descriptor to C<BarnOwl>'s internal C<select()>
122loop. C<CALLBACK> will be invoked whenever data is available to be
123read from C<FD>.
124
125=head2 remove_dispatch FD
126
127Remove a file descriptor previously registered via C<add_dispatch>
128
129=head2 create_style NAME OBJECT
130
131Creates a new barnowl style with the given NAME defined by the given
132object. The object must have a C<description> method which returns a
133string description of the style, and a and C<format_message> method
134which accepts a C<BarnOwl::Message> object and returns a string that
135is the result of formatting the message for display.

163}
164
165=head2 AUTOLOAD
166
167BarnOwl.pm has a C<AUTOLOAD> method that translates unused names in
168the BarnOwl:: namespace to a call to BarnOwl::command() with that
169command. Underscores are also translated to C<->s, so you can do
170e.g. C<BarnOwl::start_command()> and it will be translated into
171C<start-command>.
172
173So, if you're looking for functionality that you can't find in the
174perl interface, check C<:show commands> or C<commands.c> in the
175BarnOwl source tree -- there's a good chance it exists as a BarnOwl
176command.
177
178=head3 BUGS
179
180There are horrible quoting issues here. The AUTOLOAD simple joins your
181commands with spaces and passes them unmodified to C<::command>
