CPANPLUS::Internals::Source
### lazy load author/module trees ### $cb->_author_tree; $cb->_module_tree;
CPANPLUS::Internals::Source controls the updating of source files and the parsing of them into usable module/author trees to be used by CPANPLUS.
CPANPLUS
Functions exist to check if source files are still good to use as well as update them, and then parse them.
good to use
The flow looks like this:
$cb->_author_tree || $cb->_module_tree $cb->__check_trees $cb->__check_uptodate $cb->_update_source $cb->_build_trees $cb->__create_author_tree $cb->__retrieve_source $cb->__create_module_tree $cb->__retrieve_source $cb->__create_dslip_tree $cb->__retrieve_source $cb->_save_source $cb->_dslip_defs
Retrieve source files and return a boolean indicating whether or not the source files are up to date.
Takes several arguments:
A flag to force re-fetching of the source files, even if they are still up to date.
The absolute path to the directory holding the source files.
A boolean flag indicating whether or not to be verbose.
Will get information from the config file by default.
__check_uptodate checks if a given source file is still up-to-date and if not, or when update_source is true, will re-fetch the source file.
__check_uptodate
update_source
Takes the following arguments:
The source file to check.
The internal shortcut name for the source file (used for config lookups).
Flag to force updating of sourcefiles regardless.
Boolean to indicate whether to be verbose or not.
Returns a boolean value indicating whether the current files are up to date or not.
This method does the actual fetching of source files.
It takes the following arguments:
The full path where to write the files.
Returns a boolean to indicate success.
This method rebuilds the author- and module-trees from source.
Indicates whether any on disk caches are still ok to use.
A boolean flag indicating whether or not it is ok to use previously stored trees. Defaults to true.
Returns a boolean indicating success.
This method retrieves a storabled tree identified by $name.
$name
The internal name for the source file to retrieve.
A flag indicating whether the file-cache is up-to-date or not.
Returns a tree on success, false on failure.
This method saves all the parsed trees in storabled format if Storable is available.
Storable
Returns true on success, false on failure.
This method opens a source files and parses its contents into a searchable author-tree or restores a file-cached version of a previous parse, if the sources are uptodate and the file-cache exists.
A flag indicating whether the file-cache is uptodate or not.
This method opens a source files and parses its contents into a searchable module-tree or restores a file-cached version of a previous parse, if the sources are uptodate and the file-cache exists.
This method opens a source files and parses its contents into a searchable dslip-tree or restores a file-cached version of a previous parse, if the sources are uptodate and the file-cache exists.
This function returns the definition structure (ARRAYREF) of the dslip tree.
