CPAN::API::HOWTO(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide CPAN::API::HOWTO(3pm)NAME
CPAN::API::HOWTO - a recipe book for programming with CPAN.pm
RECIPES
All of these recipes assume that you have put "use CPAN" at the top of your program.
What distribution contains a particular module?
my $distribution = CPAN::Shell->expand(
"Module", "Data::UUID"
)->distribution()->pretty_id();
This returns a string of the form "AUTHORID/TARBALL". If you want the full path and filename to this distribution on a CPAN mirror, then
it is ".../authors/id/A/AU/AUTHORID/TARBALL".
What modules does a particular distribution contain?
CPAN::Index->reload();
my @modules = CPAN::Shell->expand(
"Distribution", "JHI/Graph-0.83.tar.gz"
)->containsmods();
You may also refer to a distribution in the form A/AU/AUTHORID/TARBALL.

CPAN::Perl::Releases(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation CPAN::Perl::Releases(3pm)NAME
CPAN::Perl::Releases - Mapping Perl releases on CPAN to the location of the tarballs
VERSION
version 0.60
SYNOPSIS
use CPAN::Perl::Releases qw[perl_tarballs];
my $perl = '5.14.0';
my $hashref = perl_tarballs( $perl );
print "Location: ", $_, "
" for values %{ $hashref };
DESCRIPTION
CPAN::Perl::Releases is a module that contains the mappings of all "perl" releases that have been uploaded to CPAN to the "authors/id/"
path that the tarballs reside in.
This is static data, but newer versions of this module will be made available as new releases of "perl" are uploaded to CPAN.
FUNCTIONS
"perl_tarballs"
Takes one parameter, a "perl" version to search for. Returns an hashref on success or "undef" otherwise.
The returned hashref will have a key/value for each type of tarball. A key of "tar.gz" indicates the location of a gzipped tar file and
"tar.bz2" of a bzip2'd tar file. The values will be the relative path under "authors/id/" on CPAN where the indicated tarball will be
located.
perl_tarballs( '5.14.0' );
Returns a hashref like:
{
"tar.bz2" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.bz2",
"tar.gz" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.gz"
}
Not all "perl" releases had "tar.bz2", but only a "tar.gz".

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).

This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)
