Acme::CPANAuthors - We are CPAN authors
use Acme::CPANAuthors;
my $authors = Acme::CPANAuthors->new('Japanese');
my $number = $authors->count;
my @ids = $authors->id;
my @distros = $authors->distributions('ISHIGAKI');
my $url = $authors->avatar_url('ISHIGAKI');
my $kwalitee = $authors->kwalitee('ISHIGAKI');
my @info = $authors->look_for('ishigaki');
If you don't like this interface, just use a specific authors list.
use Acme::CPANAuthors::Japanese;
my %authors = Acme::CPANAuthors::Japanese->authors;
# note that ->author is context sensitive.
# however, you can't write this without dereference
# as "keys" checks the type (actually, the number) of args.
for my $name (keys %{ Acme::CPANAuthors::Japanese->authors }) {
print Acme::CPANAuthors::Japanese->authors->{$name}, "\n";
}
Sometimes we just want to know something to confirm we're not alone, or to see if we're doing right things, or to look for someone we can rely on. This module provides you some basic information on us.
creates an object and loads the subclasses you specified. If you don't specify any subclasses, it tries to load all the subclasses found just under the "Acme::CPANAuthors" namespace.
returns how many CPAN authors are registered.
returns all the registered ids by default. If called with an id, this returns if there's a registered author of the id.
returns all the registered authors' name by default. If called with an id, this returns the name of the author of the id.
returns an array of Parse::CPAN::Packages::Distribution objects for the author of the id. See Parse::CPAN::Packages for details.
returns gravatar url of the id shown at search.cpan.org. see http://site.gravatar.com/site/implement for details.
returns kwalitee information for the author of the id. This information is scraped from http://kwalitee.perl.org/.
my @authors = Acme::CPANAuthors->look_for('SOMEONE');
foreach my $author (@authors) {
printf "%s (%s) belongs to %s.\n",
$author->{id}, $author->{name}, $author->{category};
}
takes an id or a name (or a part of them, or even an regexp) and returns an array of hash references, each of which contains an id, a name, and a basename of the class where the person is registered. Note that this will load all the installed Acme::CPANAuthors:: modules but Acme::CPANAuthors::Not and modules with deeper namespaces.
As of writing this, there're more than a dozen of lists on the CPAN, including:
Thank you all. And I hope more to come.
