NAME Dist::Util::Debian - Utilities related to Perl distribution and Debian VERSION This document describes version 0.007 of Dist::Util::Debian (from Perl distribution Dist-Util-Debian), released on 2018-10-23. SYNOPSIS use Dist::Util::Debian qw( dist2deb deb_exists dist_has_deb deb_ver dist_deb_ver ); say dist2deb("HTTP-Tiny"); # -> libhttp-tiny-perl say dist_has_deb("HTTP-Tiny"); # -> 1 say dist_has_deb("Foo"); # -> 0 say dist_has_deb({use_allpackages=>1}, "HTTP-Tiny", "Foo"); # -> (1, 0) say dist_deb_ver("HTTP-Tiny"); # -> "0.070-1" say dist_deb_ver("Foo"); # -> undef say dist_deb_ver({use_allpackages=>1}, "HTTP-Tiny", "Foo"); # -> ("0.070-1", undef) DESCRIPTION FUNCTIONS dist2deb($dist, ...) => list It uses the simple rule of turning $dist to lowercase and adds "lib" + "-perl" prefix and suffix. A small percentage of distributions do not follow this rule. dist_has_deb([ \%opts, ] $dist, ...) => bool|list[bool] Return true if distribution named $dist has a corresponding Debian package. Currently the way the routine checks this is rather naive: it checks the corresponding Debian package against this URL: . Will warn and return undef on error, e.g. the URL cannot be checked or does not contain negative/positive indicator of existence. Can accept multiple dists and will return a list of bools in that case. Known options: * use_allpackages => bool If you need to check a lot of distributions (hundreds or more) then the default way of checking each distribution against a URL might be too slow. An alternative way, enabled if you set this option to true, is to download (at the time of this writing, Jan 2017, the size is about 1.7M) then parse it locally. The file will be cached to a temporary file and reused for a day. Function will return undef if the allpackages index cannot be donwloaded. deb_exists([ \%opts, ] $deb, ...) => bool|list[bool] deb_ver([ \%opts, ] $deb, ...) => str|list[str] dist_deb_ver([ \%opts, ] $deb, ...) => str|list[str] HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at .
