CPANPLUS::Internals::Utils(3pm) 			 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			   CPANPLUS::Internals::Utils(3pm)

NAME
CPANPLUS::Internals::Utils - convenience functions for CPANPLUS SYNOPSIS
my $bool = $cb->_mkdir( dir => 'blah' ); my $bool = $cb->_chdir( dir => 'blah' ); my $bool = $cb->_rmdir( dir => 'blah' ); my $bool = $cb->_move( from => '/some/file', to => '/other/file' ); my $bool = $cb->_move( from => '/some/dir', to => '/other/dir' ); my $cont = $cb->_get_file_contents( file => '/path/to/file' ); my $version = $cb->_perl_version( perl => $^X ); DESCRIPTION
"CPANPLUS::Internals::Utils" holds a few convenience functions for CPANPLUS libraries. METHODS
$cb->_mkdir( dir => '/some/dir' ) "_mkdir" creates a full path to a directory. Returns true on success, false on failure. $cb->_chdir( dir => '/some/dir' ) "_chdir" changes directory to a dir. Returns true on success, false on failure. $cb->_rmdir( dir => '/some/dir' ); Removes a directory completely, even if it is non-empty. Returns true on success, false on failure. $cb->_perl_version ( perl => 'some/perl/binary' ); "_perl_version" returns the version of a certain perl binary. It does this by actually running a command. Returns the perl version on success and false on failure. $cb->_version_to_number( version => $version ); Returns a proper module version, or '0.0' if none was available. $cb->_whoami Returns the name of the subroutine you're currently in. _get_file_contents( file => $file ); Returns the contents of a file $cb->_move( from => $file|$dir, to => $target ); Moves a file or directory to the target. Returns true on success, false on failure. $cb->_copy( from => $file|$dir, to => $target ); Moves a file or directory to the target. Returns true on success, false on failure. $cb->_mode_plus_w( file => '/path/to/file' ); Sets the +w bit for the file. Returns true on success, false on failure. $uri = $cb->_host_to_uri( scheme => SCHEME, host => HOST, path => PATH ); Turns a CPANPLUS::Config style "host" entry into an URI string. Returns the uri on success, and false on failure $cb->_vcmp( VERSION, VERSION ); Normalizes the versions passed and does a '<=>' on them, returning the result. $cb->_home_dir Returns the user's homedir, or "cwd" if it could not be found $path = $cb->_safe_path( path => $path ); Returns a path that's safe to us on Win32 and VMS. Only cleans up the path on Win32 if the path exists. On VMS, it encodes dots to _ using "VMS::Filespec::vmsify" ($pkg, $version, $ext) = $cb->_split_package_string( package => PACKAGE_STRING ); Splits the name of a CPAN package string up into its package, version and extension parts. For example, "Foo-Bar-1.2.tar.gz" would return the following parts: Package: Foo-Bar Version: 1.2 Extension: tar.gz perl v5.18.2 2014-01-06 CPANPLUS::Internals::Utils(3pm)
