=== NAME ===
CGI::FormMagick::Setup - setup/initialisation routines for FormMagick
In a root terminal you can do the command below if you want to display the up-to-date content
perldoc CGI::FormMagick::Setup
=== SYNOPSIS ===
use CGI::FormMagick;

=== DESCRIPTION ===
==== default_xml_filename() ====
default source filename to the same as the perl script, with .xml extension

==== parse_xml() ====

Parses the XML input, setting $fm->{xml} to a usable hash of the form elements, and $fm->{lexicon} to a hash of the l10n lexicon.

The $fm->{xml} hash has the following form:

{
’form’ => {
’post-event’ => ’submit_order’,
’title’ => ’FormMagick demo application’
},
’pages’ => [
{
’post-event’ => ’lookup_group_info’,
’fields’ => [
{
’type’ => ’text’,
’id’ => ’firstname’,
’validation’ => ’nonblank’,
’label’ => ’first name’
},
{
’type’ => ’text’,
’id’ => ’lastname’,
’validation’ => ’nonblank’,
’label’ => ’last name’
}
{
’type’ => ’fragment’,
’content’ => ’This is a simple fragment’
}
{
’type’ => ’subroutine’,
’src’ => ’fragment_subroutine_name()’
}
],
’name’ => ’Personal’,
’title’ => ’Personal details’
}
]
};

Note on lexicon files: If FormMagick was given a charset argument, then the output will be encoded in that character set. Otherwise, it will be in UTF-8.

==== clean_field_list ====

Given a messy field list (as seen as @page_fields in parse_xml()), removes extraneous data and returns a clean list.

==== clean_page_list(\@form_elements, \%form_attributes) ====

Given a messy list of form elements (as seen as @form_elements in parse_xml()), removes extraneous data and returns: 1) a clean list of pages in the form, and 2) a lexicon hash.

==== $self->clean_xml_array($xml) ====

Cleans up XML by removing superfluous stuff. Given an array of XML, returns a cleaner array.

==== initialise_sessiondir($self) ====

Figures out where the session tokens should be kept.
