# RUNNING

The followme script is run on the directory or file passed as its argument. If
no argument is given, it is run on the current directory. If a file is passed,
the script is run on the directory the file is in and followme is run in
quick mode. Quick mode is an implicit promise that only the named file has
been changed since last time. Each module can make of this assumption what it
will, but it is supposed to shorten the list of files examined.

Followme looks for its configuration files in all the directories above the
directory it is run from and runs all the modules it finds in them. But they are
are only run on the folder it is run from and subfolders of it. Followme only
looks at the folder it is run from to determine if other files in the folder
need to be updated. So after changing a file, followme should be run from the
directory containing the file.
Templates support the basic control structures in Perl: "for" loops and
"if-else" blocks. Creating output is a two step process. First you generate a
subroutine from one or more templates, then you call the subroutine with your
data to generate the output.

The template format is line oriented. Commands are enclosed in html comments
(<!-- -->). A command may be preceded by white space. If a command is a block
command, it is terminated by the word "end" followed by the command name. For

configuration files in subdirectories. See L<App::Followme::Guide> for an
overview of the available modules.

A larger website will be spread across several folders. Each folder can have its
own configuration file. If they contain modules, they will be run on that folder
and all the subfolders below it.

Followme is run from the folder it is invoked from if it is called with no
arguments, or if it is run with arguments, it will run on the folder passed as
an argument or the folder the file passed as an argument is contained in.
Followme looks for its configuration files in all the directories above the
directory it is run from and runs all the modules it finds in them. But they are
are only run on the folder it is run from and subfolders of it. Followme
only looks at the folder it is run from to determine if other files in the
folder need to be updated. So after changing a file, it should be run from the
directory containing the file.

When followme is run, it searches the directories above it for configuration
files. The topmost file defines the top directory of the website. It reads each
configuration file it finds and then starts updating the directory passed as an
argument to run, or if no directory is passed, the directory the followme script
is run from.

Configuration file lines are organized as lines containing
