NAME Dist::Surveyor - Survey installed modules and determine the specific distribution versions they came from SYNOPSIS my $options = { opt_match => $opt_match, opt_perlver => $opt_perlver, opt_remnants => $opt_remnants, distro_key_mod_names => $distro_key_mod_names, }; my @installed_releases = determine_installed_releases($options, \@libdirs); DESCRIPTION Surveys your huge ball of Perl modules, jammed together inside a directory, and tells you exactly which module is installed there. For quick start, and a fine example of this module usage, see dist_surveyor. This module have one exported function - determine_installed_releases determine_installed_releases($options, $search_dirs) $options includes: opt_match A regex qr//. If exists, will ignore modules that doesn't match this regex opt_perlver Skip modules that are included as core in this Perl version opt_remnants If true, output will include old distribution versions that have left old modules behind distro_key_mod_names A hash-ref, with a list of irregular named releases. i.e. 'libwww-perl' => 'LWP'. $search_dirs is an array-ref containing the list of directories to survey. Returns a list, where each element is a hashref representing one installed distibution. This hashref is what MetaCPAN returns for https://fastapi.metacpan.org/v1/release/$author/$release, with two additional keys: * 'url' - that same as 'download_url', but without the hostname. can be used to download the file for your favorite mirror * 'dist_data' - Hashref containing info about the release, i.e. percent_installed. (fully installed releases will have '100.00') OTHERS This module checks $::DEBUG and $::VERBOSE for obvious proposes. This module uses Dist::Surveyor::Inquiry to communicate with MetaCPAN. Check that module's documentation for options and caching. You can use Dist::Surveyor::MakeCpan to take the list of releases and create a mini-cpan containing them.
