NAME

    msa -- Access Mike's script archive interactively

DOWNLOAD

msa

SYNOPSIS

    msa

DESCRIPTION

For convenient command line access to Mike's Script archive, here's a simple ftp-like utility to browse and download from it. Just call msa from the command line with no arguments, and it will listen to one of the following commands:

h

Help. Display all available commands.

ls

List all available scripts and modules on Mike's Script Archive.

get scriptname

Fetch the script from Mike's Script Archive and save it in a file with the same name in the current directory. If a file with this name exists already, msa will have the user confirm to overwrite it.

getall

Get all scripts in msa at once. They'll all going to be copied into the current directory and made executable, so you might want to call it like

    mkdir ~/bin
    cd ~/bin
    msa 
    msa> getall
    ...

q

Quit the shell.

EXAMPLES

    $ msa
    >h
    Commands: ls get q
    >ls
    CronDaemon.pm Pick.pm htmlstylize relay limitmail f amazon
    >get Pick.pm
    Getting http://perlmeister.com/scripts/Pick.pm ...
    Pick.pm ready
    >q
    $
