App::DiffCPANReleases - Diff contents of two CPAN releases
This document describes version 0.001 of App::DiffCPANReleases (from Perl distribution App-DiffCPANReleases), released on 2017-08-07.
See the included script diff-cpan-releases.
Usage:
diff_cpan_releases(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]
Diff contents of two CPAN releases.
Examples:
Download two Perl releases and diff them:
diff_cpan_releases( release1 => "My-Dist\@1.001", release2 => "My-Dist\@1.002");
Compare My-Dist 1.001 vs the latest:
diff_cpan_releases( release1 => "My-Dist\@1.001", release2 => "My-Dist");
For the release, you can enter a tarball filename/path (e.g. Foo-Bar-1.23.tar.gz or /tmp/Foo-Bar-4.567.tar.bz2) or just a distname followed by @ and version number (e.g. Foo-Bar@1.23) or just a distname (e.g. Foo-Bar) to mean the latest release of a distribution. The release tarballs will be downloaded (except when you already specify a tarball path) then diff-ed using App::DiffTarballs.
