To set up and run the Perl code you provided, follow the steps below. This guide assumes you are using a Unix-like system (e.g., Linux or *BSD or macOS) and have Perl installed.
Before running the code, you need to install the required Perl modules. Open your terminal and execute the following command:
cpanm Mojolicious DBI File::Slurp
or
cpan install Mojolicious::Lite
cpan install DBI
cpan install File::Slurp
This command uses the cpanm tool to install the necessary modules (Mojolicious, DBI, and File::Slurp). If you don't have cpanm installed, you can install it by running cpan App::cpanminus.
The code uses an SQLite database to store the pastes. Create an empty SQLite database file named pastes.db in the same directory as the Perl script. You can do this with the following command:
touch pastes.db && mkdir pastes
Once you have installed the modules and created the database file, you can run the Perl script. Open your terminal and navigate to the directory containing the script (cd path/to/script). Then execute the following command:
perl paste.pl daemon -m production -l http://0.0.0.0:7878
This command starts the Mojolicious application as a daemon process. You should see output similar to:
[Sun Jun 23 12:34:56 2023] [info] Listening at "http://ip:7878"
Open a web browser and visit http://ip:7878 to access the application. You should see a web page with a text area where you can enter your content.
You can test the application by entering some content in the text area and clicking the "Create paste" button. The application will generate a unique ID for the paste and display the paste's details.
To access the raw content of a paste, you can click the "RAW" button on the paste's detail page.
That's it! You have successfully set up and run the Perl script. You can continue using the application by creating and accessing pastes through the web interface.
Note: Remember to keep the terminal running while you want the application to be accessible. You can stop the application by pressing Ctrl+C in the terminal.
