NAME¶
Run::Parts::Perl - Pure Perl implementation of Debian's run-parts tool
VERSION¶
version 0.08
SYNOPSIS¶
Pure Perl reimplementation of basic functionality of Debian's
run-parts(8) tool.
run-parts(8) runs all the executable files named within constraints
described below, found in the given directory. Other files and directories are
silently ignored.
Additionally it can just print the names of the all matching files (not limited
to executables, but ignores blacklisted files like e.g. backup files), but
don't actually run them.
This is useful when functionality or configuration is split over multiple files
in one directory.
This module is not thought to be used directly and its interface may change. See
Run::Parts for a stable user interface.
FILE NAME CONSTRAINTS¶
On unix-ish operating systems, the file name (but not the path) must match
^[-A-Za-z0-9_]+$, i.e. may not contain a dot.
On dos-ish operating systems, the file name without suffix must match
^[-A-Za-z0-9_]+$, i.e. may not contain a dot. The suffix may contain
alphanumeric characters and is not mandatory. The full regular expression the
file name including the suffix must match is
^[-A-Za-z0-9_]+(\.[A-Za-z0-9]+)?$.
Debian's
run-parts(8) tool also offers to use alternative regular
expressions as file name constraints. This is not yet implemented in
Run::Parts::Perl.
