NAME

WWW::AUR::PKGBUILD - Parse PKGBUILD files created for makepkg

SYNOPSIS

use WWW::AUR::PKGBUILD;

# Read a PKGBUILD from a file handle...
open my $fh, '<', 'PKGBUILD' or die "open: $!";
my $pb = WWW::AUR::PKGBUILD->new( $fh );
close $fh;

# Or read from text
my $pbtext = do { local (@ARGV, $/) = 'PKGBUILD'; <> };
my $pbobj  = WWW::AUR::PKGBUILD->new( $pbtext );
my %pb     = $pbobj->fields();

# Array fields are converted into arrayrefs...
my $deps = join q{, }, @{ $pb{depends} };

my %pb = $pb->fields();
print <<"END_PKGBUILD";
pkgname = $pb{pkgname}
pkgver  = $pb{pkgver}
pkgdesc = $pb{pkgdesc}
depends = $deps
END_PKGBUILD

# There are also method accessors for all fields

DESCRIPTION

This class reads the text contents of a PKGBUILD file and does some primitive parsing. PKGBUILD fields (ie pkgname, pkgver, pkgdesc) are extracted into a hash. Bash arrays are extracted into an arrayref (ie depends, makedepends, source).

Remember, bash is more lenient about using arrays than perl is. Bash treats one-element arrays the same as non-array parameters and vice-versa. Perl doesn't. I might use a module to copy bash's behavior later on.

CONSTRUCTOR

$OBJ = WWW::AUR::PKGBUILD->new( $PBTEXT | $PBFILE );

All this does is create a new WWW::AUR::PKGBUILD object and then call the "read" method with the provided arguments.

$PBTEXT

A scalar containing the text of a PKGBUILD file.

$PBFILE

A filehandle of an open PKGBUILD file.

METHODS

fields

%PBFIELDS = $OBJ->fields();
%PBFIELDS

The fields and values of the PKGBUILD. Bash arrays (those values defined with parenthesis around them) are converted to array references.

read

%PBFIELDS = $OBJ->read( $PBTEXT | $PBFILE );
$PBTEXT

A scalar containing the text of a PKGBUILD file.

$PBFILE

A filehandle of an open PKGBUILD file.

%PBFIELDS

The fields and values of the PKGBUILD. Bash arrays (those values defined with parenthesis around them) are converted to array references.

PKGBUILD Field Accessors

undef | $TEXT | $AREF = ( $OBJ->pkgname     | $OBJ->pkgver     |
                          $OBJ->pkgdesc     | $OBJ->url        |
                          $OBJ->license     | $OBJ->install    |
                          $OBJ->changelog   | $OBJ->source     |
                          $OBJ->noextract   | $OBJ->md5sums    |
                          $OBJ->sha1sums    | $OBJ->sha256sums |
                          $OBJ->sha384sums  | $OBJ->sha512sums |
                          $OBJ->groups      | $OBJ->arch       |
                          $OBJ->backup      | $OBJ->depends    |
                          $OBJ->makedepends | $OBJ->optdepends |
                          $OBJ->conflicts   | $OBJ->provides   |
                          $OBJ->replaces    | $OBJ->options    )

Each standard field of a PKGBUILD can be accessed by using one of these accessors. The "fields" method returns a hashref containing ALL bash variables defined globally.

undef

If the field was not defined in the PKGBUILD undef is returned.

$TEXT

If a field is defined but is not a bash array it is returned as a scalar text value.

$AREF

If a field is defined as a bash array (with parenthesis) it is returned as an array reference.
