DESCRIPTION

This module provides utility functions for CPANPLUS::Dist::Debora.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

parse_version

  my $version = parse_version($string);

Returns a version object.

module_is_distributed_with_perl

  my $is_included = module_is_distributed_with_perl($name, $version);

Checks whether the specified module is part of the standard Perl distribution.

decode_utf8

  my $string = decode_utf8($bytes);

Decodes UTF-8 encoded bytes to a string.

slurp_utf8

  my $string = slurp_utf8($filename);

Reads UTF-8 encoded data from a file.

spew_utf8

  my $ok = spew_utf8($filename, $string);

Writes a string to a file.

can_run

  my $path = can_run($program);

Locates an external command and returns the path to the binary or the undefined value.

run

  my $ok = run(
      command  => [$program, @args],
      dir      => $dir,
      buffer   => \$bytes,
      verbose  => 0|1,
      on_error => sub { say "Could not run '$_[0]': $_[1]" },
  );

Runs an external command in the current or specified directory. Optionally stores the command output in a variable.

unix_path

Converts an OS specific path into a Unix path with forward slashes.

filetype

  my $type = filetype($filename);

Determines a file's type. Returns "data", "executable", "script" or "text";

find_most_recent_mtime

  my $mtime = find_most_recent_mtime($sourcedir);

Searches the specified directory recursively for the last modified file. Returns the modification time.

find_shared_objects

  my @filenames = @{find_shared_objects($stagingdir)};

Searches the specified directory recursively for shared objects and executable programs.

is_testing

  my $is_testing = is_testing;

Returns true if automated or release testing is enabled.

DIAGNOSTICS

Could not run 'COMMAND'

An external command could not be run.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Environment variables

AUTOMATED_TESTING, RELEASE_TESTING
