This module (and the included ot tool) is geared upon opening a Perl source code file with a browser. You can specify a module name (e.g. Foo::Bar), a qualified function name (Foo::Bar::func_name()), or a sentence copy-pasted from git-grep or stack trace output.

Script: ot

Browser::Open

Author: CFRANKS

A web browser can open many types of files, so this application is sometimes appropriate. The module will pick an available browser. You don\'t have to specify the path in URL form, e.g. file:/path/to/file; the module recognizes standard /unix/path/syntax.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
