NAME

CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Util - Utility functions for CPAN::Access::AdHoc

SYNOPSIS

 use CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Util;

 say 'The CPAN default plugins are ',
     join ', ', CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Util::plugins(
         'CPAN::Access::AdHoc::Default::CPAN' );

DESCRIPTION

This module provides utility functions to CPAN::Access::AdHoc. It is private to the CPAN-Access-AdHoc distribution. Documentation is for the benefit of the author only.

SUBROUTINES

This module provides the following public subroutines (which are nonetheless private to the CPAN-Access-AdHoc distribution):

__attr

This subroutine/method returns the hash element of its argument which is named after the caller's name space. This element is initialized to an empty hash if necessary.

__expand_distribution_path

This subroutine takes as its argument a putative distribution path relative to the authors/id/ directory. If it does not begin with the two levels of directory that are derived from the author name, these are added. The expanded path is returned.

__guess_media_type

 __guess_media_type( $resp, $path );

This subroutine guesses the media type and encoding.

The first argument is an HTTP::Response object such as would have been returned by a successful fetch of the data.

The second argument is optional, and is the URL or path used to fetch the data. If the second argument is defined, it sets the Content-Location header in $resp. If $path is not defined, it defaults to $resp->header( 'Content-Location' ), and an exception is thrown if there is none.

The method loads the Content-Type and Content-Encoding headers of the $resp object with its best guess at what they are. Nothing is returned.

Note that the arguments are reversed from LWP::MediaTypes::guess_media_type().

__load

This subroutine takes as its arguments one or more module names, and loads them.

__whinge

This subroutine loads Carp, and then passes its arguments to carp().

__wail

This subroutine loads Carp, and then passes its arguments to croak().

__weep

This subroutine loads Carp, and then passes its arguments to confess(), prefixed by the text 'Programming Error - '.
