NAME

CPAN::Local::Distribution::Role::FromURI - Allow distributions to be fetched from remote uris

VERSION

version 0.010

DESCRIPTION

This role allows a distribution object to be created from a remote URI rather than from a local file. The URI will be fetched and saved locally, and "filename" in CPAN::Local::Distribution will be set to the local file's name.

package CPAN::Local::Distribution::Custom
{
  use Moose;
  extends 'CPAN::Local::Distribution';
  with 'CPAN::Local::Distribution::Role::FromURI';
}

package main
{
  my $distro = CPAN::Local::Distribution::Custom->new(
      uri   => 'http:://www.somepan.org/authors/id/F/FO/FOOBAR/Foo-Bar-0.001.tar.gz',
      cache => '/path/to/cache'
  );

  say $distro->filename; # /path/to/cache/authors/id/F/FO/FOOBAR/Foo-Bar-0.001.tar.gz
  say $distro->authorid; # FOOBAR
}

ATTRIBUTES

uri

The remote distribution URI. The last part of the path must be a valid distribution name.

cache

Directory where the distribution will be downloaded to. A temporarary directory will be used if none is specified. If the distribution already exists in the cache, it will not be downloaded again.
