=head1 NAME
Perl::Installed - Get meta information of a perl installation
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Perl::Installed;
my $perl = Perl::Installed->new( prefix => "/usr/local" );
# Retrieve all files and symlinks
my @files = $perl->files();
# Retrieve configuration parameters
my $cfg = $perl->config();
print "$cfg->{version} on $cfg->{osname}\n";
=head1 DESCRIPTION
When you point C<Perl::Installed> to a perl installation by telling it the
prefix (e.g. "/usr" or "/usr/local"), it will provide meta data, like
the files the installation consists of or the $Config hash it uses.
This way, you can bundle up perl installations for package management
systems like Redhat's RPM or Debian's dpkg. Note that the perl installation
you're using to perform the bundling isn't necessarily identical with
the perl installation you're bundling up.
=head1 METHODS
=over 4
=item new( prefix => "..." )
Constructor, takes the prefix of the perl installation as a mandatory
parameter. Usually the prefix of a perl installation is either
"/usr" (perl therefore being at /usr/bin/perl) or "/usr/local".
=item files()
Looks at the installation's .packlist and returns the files therein.
It returns a reference to an array with an element for each file/symlink.
Every array element is a reference to a hash with the following entries:
path - Path to the file/symlink
type - "file" or "link"
from - If 'path' is a symlink, this entry tells where it's pointing
to (usually where the corresponding file is).
Example:
my @files = $perl->files();
for my $file (@files) {
if( $file->{type} eq "file" ) {
print "File: $file->{path}\n";
} elsif( $file->{type} eq "link" ) {
print "Link: $file->{path} -> $file->{from}\n";
}
}
=item config()
Returns a reference to the perl installation's $Config hash, just as
if you had said C<use Config> and used C<%Config> afterwards. Note that
the perl installation you're using to perform the bundling isn't
necessarily identical with the perl installation you're bundling up, so
it will
=item packlistfile()
Return the path to the packlist file of the perl core.
