App::lcpan::Cmd::dist_meta - Get distribution metadata
This document describes version 1.068 of App::lcpan::Cmd::dist_meta (from Perl distribution App-lcpan), released on 2021-06-05.
Usage:
handle_cmd(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Get distribution metadata.
This function is not exported.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
cpan => dirname
Location of your local CPAN mirror, e.g. /path/to/cpan.
Defaults to ~/cpan.
~/cpan
dist* => perl::distname
index_name => filename (default: "index.db")
Filename of index.
If index_name is a filename without any path, e.g. index.db then index will be located in the top-level of cpan. If index_name contains a path, e.g. ./index.db or /home/ujang/lcpan.db then the index will be located solely using the index_name.
index_name
index.db
cpan
./index.db
/home/ujang/lcpan.db
use_bootstrap => bool (default: 1)
Whether to use bootstrap database from App-lcpan-Bootstrap.
If you are indexing your private CPAN-like repository, you want to turn this off.
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.
Return value: (any)
