CPANPLUS::Internals
my $internals = CPANPLUS::Internals->_init( _conf => $conf ); my $backend = CPANPLUS::Internals->_retrieve_id( $ID );
This module is the guts of CPANPLUS -- it inherits from all other modules in the CPANPLUS::Internals::* namespace, thus defying normal rules of OO programming -- but if you're reading this, you already know what's going on ;)
Please read the CPANPLUS::Backend documentation for the normal API.
CPANPLUS::Backend
Get/set the configure object
Get/set the id
_init creates a new CPANPLUS::Internals object.
_init
You have to pass it a valid CPANPLUS::Configure object.
CPANPLUS::Configure
Returns the object on success, or dies on failure.
Flushes the designated caches from the CPANPLUS object.
CPANPLUS
Returns true on success, false if one or more caches could not be be flushed.
Registers a callback for later use by the internal libraries.
Here is a list of the currently used callbacks:
Is called when the user wants to be asked about what to do with prerequisites. Should return a boolean indicating true to install the prerequisite and false to skip it.
asked
Is called when the user should be prompted if he wishes to send the test report. Should return a boolean indicating true to send the test report and false to skip it.
Is called when the test report message has been composed, giving the user a chance to programatically alter it. Should return the (munged) message to be sent.
Is called when the user should be prompted to edit test reports about to be sent out by Test::Reporter. Should return a boolean indicating true to edit the test report in an editor and false to skip it.
Is called when 'make test' or 'Build test' fails. Should return a boolean indicating whether the install should continue even if the test failed.
Is called when the CPANPLUS::Dist::* metafile is created, like control for CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb, giving the user a chance to programatically alter it. Should return the (munged) text to be written to the metafile.
CPANPLUS::Dist::*
control
CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb
Adds a list of directories to the include path. This means they get added to @INC as well as $ENV{PERL5LIB}.
@INC
$ENV{PERL5LIB}
Returns true on success, false on failure.
Return the id of the last object stored.
Store this object; return its id.
Retrieve an object based on its ID -- return false on error.
Remove the object marked by $ID from storage.
Return all stored objects.
To install CPANPLUS, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.
