CPAN::Perl::Releases(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation
NAME
CPAN::Perl::Releases - Mapping Perl releases on CPAN to the location of
the tarballs
VERSION
version 5.20231129
SYNOPSIS
use CPAN::Perl::Releases qw[perl_tarballs];
my $perl = '5.14.0';
my $hashref = perl_tarballs( $perl );
print "Location: ", $_, "\n" for values %{ $hashref };
DESCRIPTION
CPAN::Perl::Releases is a module that contains the mappings of all
"perl" releases that have been uploaded to CPAN to the "authors/id/"
path that the tarballs reside in.
This is static data, but newer versions of this module will be made
available as new releases of "perl" are uploaded to CPAN.
FUNCTIONS
"perl_tarballs"
Takes one parameter, a "perl" version to search for. Returns an
hashref on success or "undef" otherwise.
The returned hashref will have a key/value for each type of
tarball. A key of "tar.gz" indicates the location of a gzipped tar
file and "tar.bz2" of a bzip2'd tar file. The values will be the
relative path under "authors/id/" on CPAN where the indicated
tarball will be located.
perl_tarballs( '5.14.0' );
Returns a hashref like:
{
"tar.bz2" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.bz2",
"tar.gz" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.gz"
}
Not all "perl" releases had "tar.bz2", but only a "tar.gz".
Perl tarballs may also be compressed using "xz" and therefore have
a "tar.xz" entry.
"perl_versions"
Returns the list of all the perl versions supported by the module
in ascending order. "TRIAL" and "RC" will be lower than an actual
release.
"perl_pumpkins"
Returns a sorted list of all PAUSE IDs of Perl pumpkins.
