CPAN::Perl::Releases − Mapping Perl releases on CPAN to the location of the tarballs
version 5.20191220
use
CPAN::Perl::Releases qw[perl_tarballs];
my $perl = '5.14.0';
my $hashref = perl_tarballs( $perl );
print "Location: ", $_, "\n" for values
%{ $hashref };
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.
"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".
Perl tarballs may also be compressed using "xz" and therefore have a "tar.xz" entry.
"perl_versions"
Returns the list of all the perl versions supported by the module in ascending order. "TRIAL" and "RC" will be lower than an actual release.
"perl_pumpkins"
Returns a sorted list of all PAUSE IDs of Perl pumpkins.
