DESCRIPTION

metadate currently provides a way to save metadates externally from a file. This is most useful for non-story files, such as pictures or categories which can't contain metadates internally.

The file $external_file should contain entries in this format:

 # comment lines start with a "#"
 /home/user/blosxom/software=>11/17/2003 22:45
 /home/user/blosxom/software/screenshot.png=>11/18/2003 22:50
 /home/user/blosxom/software/static_file.patch.asc=>11/18/2003 22:50

metadates stores dates in %blosxom::files (for story files), %blosxom::others (for non-story files), or %metadate::dirs (for directories).
