NAME¶
CPAN::Reporter::History - Read or write a CPAN::Reporter history log
VERSION¶
version 1.2011
SYNOPSIS¶
use CPAN::Reporter::History 'have_tested';
@results = have_tested( dist => 'Dist-Name-1.23' );
DESCRIPTION¶
Interface for interacting with the CPAN::Reporter history file. Most methods are
private for use only within CPAN::Reporter itself. However, a public function
is provided to query the history file for results.
USAGE¶
The following function is available. It is not exported by default.
"have_tested()"¶
# all reports for Foo-Bar-1.23
@results = have_tested( dist => 'Foo-Bar-1.23' );
# all NA reports
@results = have_tested( grade => 'NA' );
# all reports on the current Perl/platform
@results = have_tested();
Searches the CPAN::Reporter history file for records exactly matching search
criteria, given as pairs of field-names and desired values.
Ordinary search criteria include:
- •
- "dist" -- the distribution tarball name without any filename
suffix; from a "CPAN::Distribution" object, this is provided by
the "base_id" method.
- •
- "phase" -- phase the report was generated during: either 'PL',
'make' or 'test'
- •
- "grade" -- CPAN Testers grade: 'PASS', 'FAIL', 'NA' or
'UNKNOWN'; Also may be 'DISCARD' for any failing reports not sent due to
missing prerequisites
Without additional criteria, a search will be limited to the current version of
Perl and the current architecture and OS version. Additional criteria may be
specified explicitly or, by specifying the empty string, "q{}", will
match that field for
any record.
# all reports for Foo-Bar-1.23 on any version of perl
# on the current architecture and OS version
@results = have_tested( dist => 'Foo-Bar-1.23', perl => q{} );
These additional criteria include:
- •
- "perl" -- perl version and possible patchlevel; this will be
dotted decimal (5.6.2) starting with version 5.6, or will be numeric style
as given by $] for older versions; if a patchlevel exists, it must be
specified similar to "5.11.0 patch 12345"
- •
- "archname" -- platform architecture name as given by
$Config{archname}
- •
- "osvers" -- operating system version as given by
$Config{osvers}
The function returns an array of hashes representing each test result, with all
of the fields listed above.
