NAME

App::ListPerlReleases - List Perl releases

VERSION

This document describes version 0.004 of App::ListPerlReleases (from Perl distribution App-ListPerlReleases), released on 2021-01-01.

SYNOPSIS

See the included script list-perl-releases.

DESCRIPTION

This distribution offers list-perl-releases, a CLI front-end for CPAN::Perl::Releases.

FUNCTIONS

list_perl_releases

Usage:

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

List of Perl releases.

This utility uses CPAN::Perl::Releases's perl_tarballs() to list releases of Perl interpreters. For each release, it provides information such as version number and location of tarballs in releaser author's directory on CPAN.

Update the CPAN::Perl::Releases module to get the latest list of releases.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • detail => bool (default: 0)

    Return array of full records instead of just ID fields.

    By default, only the key (ID) field is returned per result entry.

  • exclude_fields => array[str]

    Select fields to return.

  • fields => array[str]

    Select fields to return.

  • query => str

    Search.

  • random => bool (default: 0)

    Return records in random order.

  • result_limit => int

    Only return a certain number of records.

  • result_start => int (default: 1)

    Only return starting from the n'th record.

  • sort => array[str]

    Order records according to certain field(s).

    A list of field names separated by comma. Each field can be prefixed with '-' to specify descending order instead of the default ascending.

  • tarball => str

    Only return records where the 'tarball' field equals specified value.

  • tarball.contains => str

    Only return records where the 'tarball' field contains specified text.

  • tarball.in => array[str]

    Only return records where the 'tarball' field is in the specified values.

  • tarball.is => str

    Only return records where the 'tarball' field equals specified value.

  • tarball.isnt => str

    Only return records where the 'tarball' field does not equal specified value.

  • tarball.max => str

    Only return records where the 'tarball' field is less than or equal to specified value.

  • tarball.min => str

    Only return records where the 'tarball' field is greater than or equal to specified value.

  • tarball.not_contains => str

    Only return records where the 'tarball' field does not contain specified text.

  • tarball.not_in => array[str]

    Only return records where the 'tarball' field is not in the specified values.

  • tarball.xmax => str

    Only return records where the 'tarball' field is less than specified value.

  • tarball.xmin => str

    Only return records where the 'tarball' field is greater than specified value.

  • version => str

    Only return records where the 'version' field equals specified value.

  • version.contains => str

    Only return records where the 'version' field contains specified text.

  • version.in => array[str]

    Only return records where the 'version' field is in the specified values.

  • version.is => str

    Only return records where the 'version' field equals specified value.

  • version.isnt => str

    Only return records where the 'version' field does not equal specified value.

  • version.max => str

    Only return records where the 'version' field is less than or equal to specified value.

  • version.min => str

    Only return records where the 'version' field is greater than or equal to specified value.

  • version.not_contains => str

    Only return records where the 'version' field does not contain specified text.

  • version.not_in => array[str]

    Only return records where the 'version' field is not in the specified values.

  • version.xmax => str

    Only return records where the 'version' field is less than specified value.

  • version.xmin => str

    Only return records where the 'version' field is greater than specified value.

  • with_field_names => bool

    Return field names in each record (as hash/associative array).

    When enabled, function will return each record as hash/associative array (field name => value pairs). Otherwise, function will return each record as list/array (field value, field value, ...).

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.
