DESCRIPTION

This module queries the CPAN Testers website (via the AJAX interface) and retrieves a simple data set of results. It then parses these to answer a few simple questions.

INTERFACE

The Constructor

  • new

    Instatiates the object CPAN::WWW::Testers. Requires a hash of parameters, with 'config' being the only mandatory key. Note that 'config' can be anything that Config::IniFiles accepts for the -file option.

    Available parameters are

      item * dist (required)

      The distribution to provide a summary for. An error will be returned if no distribution name is provided.

      item * version (optional)

      Filter based on a specific distribution version. Defaults to the latest version.

      item * perlmat (optional)

      Filter based on perl maturity, i.e. whether a development version (5.21.3) or a stable version (5.20.1). Values are:

      • 0 = all reports =item * 1 = stable versions only =item * 2 = development versions only

      item * patches (optional)

      Filter based on whether the perl version is a patch. Values are:

      • 0 = all reports =item * 1 = patches only =item * 2 = exclude patches

      Defaults to all reports.

      item * perlver (optional)

      Filter based on Perl version, e.g. 5.20.1. Defaults to all versions.

      item * osname (optional)

      Filter based on Operating System name, e.g. MSWin32. Defaults to all Operating Systems.

      item * format (optional)

      Available formats are: 'csv', 'html' and 'xml'. Defaults to 'html'.

Status Methods

  • is_success

    Returns 1 if request succeeded, otherwise 0.

  • error

    Returns the error if the request was unsuccessful.

Counter Methods

  • all

    For the given query, the total number of reports stored.

  • pass

    For the given query, the total number of PASS reports stored.

  • fail

    For the given query, the total number of FAIL reports stored.

  • na

    For the given query, the total number of NA reports stored.

  • unknown

    For the given query, the total number of UNKNOWN reports stored.

  • pc_pass

    For the given query, the percentage number of PASS reports stored against all reports stored.

  • pc_fail

    For the given query, the percentage number of FAIL reports stored against all reports stored.

  • pc_na

    For the given query, the percentage number of NA reports stored against all reports stored.

  • pc_unknown

    For the given query, the percentage number of UNKNOWN reports stored against all reports stored.

Data Methods

  • data

    Returns the basic data structure as a hash reference. If a version is passed as a parameter, the data only for that version is returned. Otherwise all the results are returned, with the version as the top level key of the hash.

  • raw

    Returns the raw content returned from the server.

I would also like to thank Leo Lapworth from prompting me to write this, sorry its taken so long to release. However, you may be interested in his alternative query distribution CPAN::Testers::Reports::Query::JSON.

Initially released during the 2012 QA Hackathon in Paris.

CPAN TESTERS FUND

CPAN Testers wouldn't exist without the help and support of the Perl community. However, since 2008 CPAN Testers has grown far beyond the expectations of it's original creators. As a consequence it now requires considerable funding to help support the infrastructure.

In early 2012 the Enlightened Perl Organisation very kindly set-up a CPAN Testers Fund within their donatation structure, to help the project cover the costs of servers and services.

If you would like to donate to the CPAN Testers Fund, please follow the link below to the Enlightened Perl Organisation's donation site.

https://members.enlightenedperl.org/drupal/donate-cpan-testers

If your company would like to support us, you can donate financially via the fund link above, or if you have servers or services that we might use, please send an email to admin@cpantesters.org with details.

Our full list of current sponsors can be found at our I <3 CPAN Testers site.
