SUBROUTINES/METHODS

validate_args ()

Validates the arguments to the client. Uses @ARGV as parameters. Checks if the command is recognized, and whether the list, delete and makedir commands receive one argument, and upload/download receive two. Returns the lowercased valid command for future use.

Provides an example on how to process the data returned by the list() method of Net::SharePoint::Basic . The items are listed in alphabetical order. The folders have '/' attached to their name, and their item count is used as 'size'.

Prints "No contents detected" if the folder is empty.

process_result ($$)

Processes the results of the executed command. In most cases the last message stored in the log ($object->{log} is being used, as $object->{log}[-1][2]. For listed items see print_list_report. When deletion is requested for a non-existent item, a warning is emitted.
