=head1 NAME

AN::Tools

Provides a common oject handle to all AN::Tools::* module methods and handles invocation configuration. 

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use AN::Tools;

 # Get a common object handle on all AN::Tools::* modules.
 my $an = AN::Tools->new();
 
 # Again, but this time sets some initial values in the '$an->data' hash.
 my $an = AN::Tools->new(
 {
 	data		=>	{
 		foo		=>	"",
 		bar		=>	[],
 		baz		=>	{},
 	},
 });
 
 # This example gets the handle and also sets the default user and log 
 # languages as Japanese, sets a custom log file and sets the log level to 
 # '2'.
 my $an = AN::Tools->new(
 {
 	'Log'		=>	{
 		user_language	=>	"jp",
 		log_language	=>	"jp"
 		level		=>	2,
 	},
 });

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The AN::Tools module and all sub-modules are designed for use by Alteeve-based applications. It can be used as a general framework by anyone interested.

Core features are;

* Supports per user, per logging language selection where translations from from XML-formatted "String" files that support UTF8 and variable substitutions.
* Support for command-line and HTML output. Skinning support for HTML-based user interfaces.
* Redundant database access, resynchronization and archiving.
* Highly-native with minimal use of external perl modules and compiled code.

=head2 data

This is the method used to access the main hash reference that all user-accessible values are stored in. This includes words, configuration file variables and so forth.

When called without an argument, it returns the existing '$an->data' hash reference.

 my $an = $an->data();

When called with a hash reference as the argument, it sets '$an->data' to the new hash.

 my $some_hash = {};
 my $an        = $an->data($some_hash);

Data can be entered into or access by treating '$an->data' as a normal hash reference.

 my $an = AN::Tools->new(
 {
 	data		=>	{
 		foo		=>	"",
 		bar		=>	[6, 4, 12],
 		baz		=>	{
			animal		=>	"Cat",
			thing		=>	"Boat",
		},
 	},
 });
 
 # Copy the 'Cat' value into the $animal variable.
 my $animal = $an->data->{baz}{animal};
 
 # Set 'A thing' in 'foo'.
 $an->data->{foo} = "A thing";

The C<$an> variable is set inside all modules and acts as shared storage for variables, values and references in all modules. It acts as the core storage for most applications using AN::Tools.

=cut
sub data
{
	my ($an) = shift;
	
	# Pick up the passed in hash, if any.
	$an->{DATA} = shift if $_[0];
	
	return ($an->{DATA});
}

=head2 environment

This is the method used to check or set whether the program is outputting to command line or a browser.

When called without an argument, it returns the current environment.

 if ($an->environment() eq "cli")
 {
 	# format for STDOUT
 }
 elsif ($an->environment() eq "html")
 {
 	# Use the template system to output HTML
 }

When called with a string as the argument, that string will be set as the environment string.

 $an->environment("cli");

Technically, any string can be used, however only 'cli' or 'html' are used by convention.

=cut
sub environment
{
	my ($an) = shift;
	
	# Pick up the passed in delimiter, if any.
	$an->{ENV_VALUES}{ENVIRONMENT} = shift if $_[0];
	
	return ($an->{ENV_VALUES}{ENVIRONMENT});
}

=head1 Submodule Access Methods

The methods below are used to access methods of submodules using 'C<< $an->Module->method() >>'.

=cut

=head2 Alert

Access the C<Alert.pm> methods via 'C<< $an->Alert->method >>'.

=cut
sub Alert
{
	my $self = shift;
	
	return ($self->{HANDLE}{ALERT});
}

=head2 Storage

Access the C<Storage.pm> methods via 'C<< $an->Storage->method >>'.

=cut
sub Storage
{
	my $self = shift;
	
	return ($self->{HANDLE}{STORAGE});
}

=head2 Words

Access the C<Words.pm> methods via 'C<< $an->Words->method >>'.

=cut
sub Words
{
	my $self = shift;
	
	return ($self->{HANDLE}{WORDS});
}


=head1 Private Functions;

These methods generally should never be called from a program using AN::Tools. However, we are not your boss.

=head2 _add_hash_reference

This is a helper to the '$an->_make_hash_reference' method. It is called each time a new string is to be created as a new hash key in the passed hash reference.

NOTE: Contributed by Shaun Fryer and Viktor Pavlenko by way of Toronto Perl Mongers.

=cut
sub _add_hash_reference
{
	my $self  = shift;
	my $href1 = shift;
	my $href2 = shift;
	
	for my $key (keys %$href2)
	{
		if (ref $href1->{$key} eq 'HASH')
		{
			$self->_add_hash_reference( $href1->{$key}, $href2->{$key} );
		}
		else
		{
			$href1->{$key} = $href2->{$key};
		}
	}
}

=head2 _make_hash_reference

This takes a string with double-colon seperators and divides on those double-colons to create a hash reference where each element is a hash key.

NOTE: Contributed by Shaun Fryer and Viktor Pavlenko by way of Toronto Perl Mongers.

=cut
sub _make_hash_reference
{
	my $self       = shift;

	{

		$elem->{$key} = $_href;
		$_href        = $elem;
	}
	$self->_add_hash_reference($href, $_href);
}

=head2 _set_defaults

This sets default variable values for the program.

=cut
sub _set_defaults
{
	my ($an) = shift;
	
	$an->data->{defaults} = {
		languages	=>	{
			'log'		=>	'en_CA',
			output		=>	'en_CA',
		},
	};
	
	return(0);
}

=head2 _set_paths

This sets default paths to many system commands, checking to make sure the binary exists at the path and, if not, try to find it.

=cut
sub _set_paths
{
	my ($an) = shift;
	
	# Executables
	$an->data->{path} = {

			},
			words		=>	{
				'an-tools.xml'		=>	"/usr/share/perl5/AN/an-tools.xml",
			},
	};
	
	# Make sure we actually have the requested files.
	foreach my $type (sort {$a cmp $b} keys %{$an->data->{path}})
	{
		# We don't look for logs because we'll create them if they don't exist.
		next if $type eq "logs";
