}DESCRIPTION
This utility module fetches information about pandoc releases via GitHub API. It requires at least Perl 5.14 or HTTP::Tiny and JSON::PP installed.
FUNCTIONS
list( [ since => $version ] [, verbose => 0|1 ] )
Get a list of all releases, optionally since a given pandoc version. Option verbose will print URLs before each request.
METHODS
download( arch => $arch, dir => $dir [, bin => $bin] [, verbose => 0|1] )
Download the Debian release file for some architecture (e.g. amd64) to directory dir, unless already there. Optionally extract pandoc binary to bin directory named after version number (e.g. bin/2.1.2). The binary can then be wrapped as instance of Pandoc:
my $pandoc = Pandoc->new("$dir/$version");Returns the version number as Pandoc::Version on success.
