Simple dashboard for monitoring CPAN modules

To configure this system to work with your system, do the following:

• Register with Coveralls using your Github login
• Activate the repos that you want to report on Coveralls
• Edit the dashboard.json file so it is configured correctly
• Push changes to your repos
• Run dashboard

Note: For (slightly) more detail about setting up Coveralls, see my presentation on the subject.

You configure the system by editing dashboard.json. There are two main sections in the file.

• author - information about the author of the modules.
  • github - your Github username.
  • cpan - your CPAN username.
• output - various output parameters
  • file - the name of the output file.
  • template - the name of the input template.
  • title - the title to use on the output page.
  • menu - a list of menu items to appear in header of the output page. Each item should be a JSON object with a link attribute and a title attribute.
  • analytics - a Google Analytics code. If this is given, then a Google Analytics section is added to the output.
