Hello, not a technical problem, i'm just looking for opinions. Using "Archive::Zip", i made a script with the main purpose of making a quick backup of a folder and all its subfolders in a zip file.
The script can take a few parameters: - the main folder backup (mandatory); - the full path of the destination zip file (mandatory); - filename pattern (regex) of files to include; - min or max modified age of files to include; - a "delete" flag that tell the script if it has to unlink the files after archiving. Since we have many folders with many small text files, now i want to use it to compress older files and delete them from disks, so that they're still available for a while, but don't take as much space as before. That poses the problem of executing my script for several folders, with different parameters for each of them. Now i'm wondering if i have to include the possibility of multiple "backups" in the script itself, if i better write another script that calls this one with different parameters each time, or if i better make a module of my original script (though it seems too much, since it's not code reuse but just script relaunching). I'd like to know your thoughts about this. -- Zanardi2k3 "Why do i need you, feet, when i have wings to fly?"
