NAME

Treex::Core::Resource - Access to shared resources

VERSION

version 2.20210102

SYNOPSIS

use Treex::Core::Resource qw(require_file_from_share); my $path = require_file_from_share('relative/path/to/file/within/Treex/Share'); open my $MODEL, '<', $path or log_fatal($!);

# or my $path = require_file_from_share('./relative/path/from/the/current/directory'); my $path = require_file_from_share('/absolute/path');

DESCRIPTION

This module provides access to shared resources (e.g. models). First it tries to locate it on local computer. If not found, download from server (http://ufallab.ms.mff.cuni.cz/). If the path starts with "." or "/" it is searched in the local file system (and not in Treex Share).

SUBROUTINES

require_file_from_share($path_to_file, $who_wants_it, $make_executable, $skip_download)

Try to locate file in local resource paths, if not found, try to download it and stores it to first writable path. Obtains paths from Treex::Core::Config->resource_path() Returns path to file.

If $make_executable is true, execute rights are set on the downloaded file.

If $skip_download is true, automatic download is skipped and only the path tho the file or the first writable path is returned. The caller block must check the existence of the file and handle the download itself (useful for downloading and unpacking of larger archives).
