CPAN::DistnameInfo Description

Extract distribution name and version from a distribution filename Many online services that are centered around CPAN attempt to associate multiple uploads by extracting a distribution name from the filename of the upload. For most distributions this is easy as they have used ExtUtils::MakeMaker or Module::Build to create the distribution, which results in a uniform name. But sadly not all uploads are created in this way.CPAN::DistnameInfo is a Perl module that uses heuristics that have been learnt by http://search.cpan.org/ to extract the distribution name and version from filenames and also report if the version is to be treated as a developer releaseThe constructor takes a single pathname, returning an object with the following methodscpanid If the path given looked like a CPAN authors directory path, then this will be the the CPAN id of the author.dist The name of the distributiondistvname The file name with any suffix and leading directory names removedfilename If the path given looked like a CPAN authors directory path, then this will be the path to the file relative to the detected CPAN author directory. Otherwise it is the path that was passed in.maturity The maturity of the distribution. This will be either released or developerextension The extension of the distribution, often used to denote the archive type (e.g. 'tar.gz')pathname The pathname that was passed to the constructor when creating the object.properties This will return a list of key-value pairs, suitable for assigning to a hash, for the known properties.version The extracted versionSYNOPSIS my $pathname = "authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/CPAN-DistnameInfo-0.02.tar.gz"; my $d = CPAN::DistnameInfo->new($pathname); my $dist = $d->dist; # "CPAN-DistnameInfo" my $version = $d->version; # "0.02" my $maturity = $d->maturity; # "released" my $filename = $d->filename; # "CPAN-DistnameInfo-0.02.tar.gz" my $cpanid = $d->cpanid; # "GBARR" my $distvname = $d->distvname; # "CPAN-DistnameInfo-0.02" my $extension = $d->extension; # "tar.gz" my $pathname = $d->pathname; # "authors/id/G/GB/GBARR/..." my %prop = $d->properties; Requirements: · Perl
