NAME

App::ListNewCPANDists - List new CPAN distributions in a given time period

VERSION

This document describes version 0.007 of App::ListNewCPANDists (from Perl distribution App-ListNewCPANDists), released on 2018-03-12.

FUNCTIONS

list_monthly_new_cpan_dists

Usage:

 list_monthly_new_cpan_dists(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

List new CPAN distributions in a given month.

Like list_new_cpan_dists but you only need to specify month and year instead of starting and ending time period.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• month* => int

• year* => int

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)

list_monthly_new_cpan_dists_html

Usage:

 list_monthly_new_cpan_dists_html(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

List new CPAN distributions in a given month (HTML format).

Like list_monthly_new_cpan_dists but produces HTML table instead of data structure.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• month* => int

• year* => int

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)

list_new_cpan_dists

Usage:

 list_new_cpan_dists(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

List new CPAN distributions in a given time period.

This utility queries MetaCPAN to find out what CPAN distributions are new in a given time period (i.e. has their first release made during that time period). This utility also collects the information in a SQLite database which defaults to ~/cpan/index-lncd.db or ~/index-lncd.db if ~/cpan~ does not exist. You can customize the location of the generated SQLite database using the cpan and db_name arguments.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• cpan => dirname

  Location of your local CPAN mirror, e.g. /path/to/cpan.

  Defaults to ~/cpan. This actually does not need to be a real CPAN local mirror, but can be just an empty directory. If you use happen to use App::lcpan, you can use the local CPAN mirror generated by lcpan (which also defaults to ~/cpan) to store the database.

• db_name => filename (default: "index-lncd.db")

  Filename of database.

• from_time* => date

• to_time => date

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)
