This document describes version 0.002 of WWW::RT::CPAN (from Perl distribution WWW-RT-CPAN), released on 2017-02-03.

SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
use WWW::RT::CPAN qw(
    list_dist_active_tickets
    list_dist_resolved_tickets
    list_dist_rejected_tickets
);
my $res = list_dist_active_tickets(dist => 'Acme-MetaSyntactic');

Sample result:


            

              
              
[
  200,
  "OK",
  [
    {
      broken_in => [], # e.g. ["0.40", "0.41"]
      fixed_in => [],
      id => 120076,
      last_updated_raw => "8 hours ago",
      severity => "Wishlist",
      status => "new",
      title => "Option to return items in order?",
    },
    {
      broken_in => [],
      fixed_in => [],
      id => 118805,
      last_updated_raw => "3 months ago",
      severity => "Wishlist",
      status => "new",
      title => "Print list of categories of a theme?",

[400, "No such distribution"]

DESCRIPTION

This module provides some functions to retrieve data from https://rt.cpan.org by scraping the web pages. Compared to RT::Client::REST, it provides less functionality but it can get public information without having to log in first.

FUNCTIONS

list_dist_active_tickets

Usage:


            

              
              
list_dist_active_tickets(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

List active tickets for a distribution.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • dist* => perl::distname
