NAME

App::CPANModulesUtils - Command-line utilities related to Acme::CPANModules

VERSION

This document describes version 0.007 of App::CPANModulesUtils (from Perl distribution App-CPANModulesUtils), released on 2021-11-26.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This distribution includes the following command-line utilities related to Acme::CPANModules:

FUNCTIONS

acme_cpanmodules_for

Usage:

 acme_cpanmodules_for(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

List Acme::CPANModules distributions that mention specified modules.

This utility consults lcpan (local indexed CPAN mirror) to check if there are Acme::CPANModules distributions that mention specified modules. This is done by checking the presence of a dependency with the relationship x_mentions.

See also App::lcpan which has a "x-mentions-for-mod" subcommand that does the same thing.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • modules* => array[perl::modname]

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

gen_acme_cpanmodules_module_from_acme_cpanlists_list

Usage:

 gen_acme_cpanmodules_module_from_acme_cpanlists_list(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Generate an Acme::CPANModules module file from an Acme::CPANLists module list.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • input_list_index => nonnegint

    Required if the Acme::CPANLists module contains more than one module list.

  • input_module* => perl::modname

    "Acme::CPANLists::" will be prepended if module name does not begin with it.

  • output_file => filename

    will default to "lib/Acme/CPANModules/<YourModuleName>.pm

  • output_module => perl::modname

    "Acme::CPANModules::" will be prepended if module name does not begin with it.

    Will default to the Acme::CPANLists module name, with CPANLists replaced by CPANModules.

  • overwrite => true

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

gen_acme_cpanmodules_module_from_webpage

Usage:

 gen_acme_cpanmodules_module_from_webpage(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Generate an Acme::CPANModules module file a webpage.

This routine will download the webpage, extract the links in it, extract the CPAN modules mentioned in the links, and use the extracted CPAN modules as entries for the Acme::CPANModules module.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • description => str

    Add description to the list.

  • output_file => filename

    will default to "lib/Acme/CPANModules/<YourModuleName>.pm

  • output_module* => perl::modname

    "Acme::CPANModules::" will be prepended if module name does not begin with it.

  • overwrite => true

  • url* => str

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
