# Author: Jean-Michel Hiver
# Description: This class parses a template in 'canonical syntax'
# (referred as the 'UGLY SYNTAX' in the manual) and generates Perl
# code that can be turned into a subroutine using eval().

# find_filepath ($filename, @paths);
# ----------------------------------
# Finds the filepath for $filename in @paths
# and returns it.
sub find_filepath
{
    my $filename = shift;
    for (@_)
    {
	s/\/$//;
	return $_ if (-e "$_/$filename");
    }
}


# find_filename ($language, @paths);
# ----------------------------------
# Finds the filename for $language in @paths.
# For example, if $language is 'fr-CA' it might return
#
# fr-CA.html
# fr-CA.xml
# fr.html
# en.html
sub find_filename

# parent_language ($lang);
# ------------------------
# Returns the parent language for $lang, i.e.
# 'fr-CA' => 'fr' => $Petal::LANGUAGE => undef.
#
# $DEFAULT is set to 'en' by default but that can be changed, e.g.
#   local $Petal::LANGUAGE = 'fr' for example

	return $lang;
    };
    
    $lang eq $Petal::LANGUAGE and return;
    return $Petal::LANGUAGE;
}


# exists_filename ($language, $path);
# -----------------------------------
# looks for a file that matches $langage.<extension> in $path
# if the file is found, returns the filename WITH its extension.
#
# example:
#
#   # $filename will be either 'en-US.html, en-US.xml, ... or 'undef'.
#   my $filename = exists_filename ('en-US', './scratch');
