Perl module to read and write CPAN Changes files
CPAN::Checksums - Write a CHECKSUMS file for a directory as on CPAN
This bundle defines modules that may be of interest to those discussing
and implementing the Perl 6 language. Some of these are proof-of-concepts
that the respective authors have implemented to show how things might
work in Perl 6.
Following the release of CPAN::Mini, the CPAN::Mini::Inject module
was created to add additional distributions into a minicpan mirror.
While it was created for use with a minicpan mirror, similar
functionality can be reused in other situations.
CPAN::Inject replicates the basics of this functionality.
Specifically, it takes an arbitrary tarball and adds it to the CPAN
sources directory for a particular author, and then add the new
file to the CHECKSUMS file.
CPAN::Meta::Check verifies if requirements described in a CPAN::Meta
object are present.
The functions in this module implement or assist the writing of
programs, or parts of them, in Continuation Passing Style (CPS).
Briefly, CPS is a style of writing code where the normal call/return
mechanism is replaced by explicit "continuations", values passed in
to functions which they should invoke, to implement return behaviour.
The Portable Coroutine Library (PCL) implements the low level
functionality for coroutines. For a definition of the term coroutine
see The Art of Computer Programming by Donald E. Knuth. Coroutines
are a very simple cooperative multitasking environment where the
switch from one task to another is done explicitly by a function
call.
A CPAN::Meta::Requirements object models a set of version constraints like those
specified in the META.yml or META.json files in CPAN distributions. It can be
built up by adding more and more constraints, and it will reduce them to the
simplest representation.
Logically impossible constraints will be identified immediately by thrown
exceptions.
This module implements a subset of the YAML specification for use in
reading and writing CPAN metadata files like META.yml and MYMETA.yml.
It should not be used for any other general YAML parsing or generation
task.
CPAN::DistnameInfo 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 release.
