Ace::B...iteDefs(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Ace::Browser::LocalSiteDefs — the Master Configuration file for AceBrowser, bestie. Like, THE master. The one that runs the whole show. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Ace::Browser::LocalSiteDefs qw(  );

That's it. That's the whole synopsis. Short, sweet, iconic. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen. This file? It gets created at install time, which means it just materializes while you're installing stuff, and it defines three exportable variables. Three. A little trio. The holy trinity of "where did I put my stuff." 🫶

Now here's the gag: the actual variable names aren't written down in here, but the vibes — and the paths — absolutely are. So let's go:

• One of them — holds the location of the directory that holds AceBrowser's database-specific configuration files, e.g. /usr/local/apache/conf/ace/ ✨
• Another one — holds the location of AceBrowser's HTML files and images, e.g. ~www/htdocs/ace/ 🌸
• And the third one — holds the location of AceBrowser's CGI scripts, e.g. ~www/cgi-bin/ace/ 🔥

So basically: one for configs, one for the pretty stuff, one for the executable stuff. All three are exportable, all three are yours to use, and all three are set up for you at install time. No cap. 💅
