Generate a map from specifications on a wiki

Prereqs

The Hexgrid modules and MWTemplate modules must be in @INC

Invoking

Writes to STDOUT by default; use -o/--outfile <file> to write to a <file> instead

The script has 2 flags controlling files generated:

• --regiondir <dir>: If specified, also generate maps for each region and location, writing them to files in <dir>. Off by default.
• --html/--no-html: Whether to generate (an) SVG file(s) or (an) html file(s), including logic for popups on clicks (currently half done). Makes html by default.

Examples of the four combinations:

1. perl wiki-map.pl -o output/Map.svg --no-html --api https://vipersgate.obscuritus.ca/api.php Creates a main map as an SVG output/Map.svg
2. perl wiki-map.pl -o output/Map.svg --no-html --regiondir output --api https://vipersgate.obscuritus.ca/api.php Creates a main map as an SVG output/Map.svg and an SVG for each region and location, also in the output dir
3. perl wiki-map.pl -o output/Map.html --api https://vipersgate.obscuritus.ca/api.php Creates a main map with popups as output/Map.html
4. perl wiki-map.pl -o output/Map.html --regiondir output --api https://vipersgate.obscuritus.ca/api.php Creates a main map with popups as output/Map.html and an html page for each region and location, also in the output dir

1 is intented to make just a map for the main page. Unnecessary if using 2.

2 is intended to make a map for the main page, and for each Region, Subregion and Location page.

3 is intended to be linked to and haswill have click-toggleable popups.

4 is an artifact of the above 3 and doesn't have intended use.
