NAME

CPAN::SQLite::Info − extract information from CPAN indices

VERSION

version 0.220

DESCRIPTION

This module extracts information from the CPAN indices $CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz and $CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz.

A "CPAN::SQLite::Info" object is created with

my $info = CPAN::SQLite::Info−>new(CPAN => $cpan);

where $cpan specifies the top−level CPAN directory underneath which the index files are found. Calling

$info−>fetch_info();

will result in the object being populated with 3 hash references:

•

"$info−>{dists}"

This contains information on distributions. Keys of this hash reference are the distribution names, with the associated value being a hash reference with keys of
"dist_vers" − the version of the CPAN file
"dist_file" − the CPAN filename
"cpanid" − the CPAN author id
"dist_abs" − a description, if available
"modules" − specifies the modules present in the distribution:

for my $module (keys %{$info−>{$distname}−>{modules}}) {
print "Module: $module\n";
}

•

"$info−>{mods}"

This contains information on modules. Keys of this hash reference are the module names, with the associated values being a hash reference with keys of
"dist_name" − the distribution name containing the module
"mod_vers" − the version
"mod_abs" − a description, if available

•

"$info−>{auths}"

This contains information on CPAN authors. Keys of this hash reference are the CPAN ids, with the associated value being a hash reference with keys of
"fullname" − the author's full name
"email" − the author's email address
