DESCRIPTION

This module queries the CPAN Testers website (via the AJAX interface) and retrieves a simple data set of results. It then parses these to answer a few simple questions.

INTERFACE

The Constructor

• new

  Instatiates the object CPAN::WWW::Testers. Requires a hash of parameters, with 'config' being the only mandatory key. Note that 'config' can be anything that Config::IniFiles accepts for the -file option.

Counter Methods

• all

  For the given query, the total number of reports stored.

• pass

  For the given query, the total number of PASS reports stored.

• fail

  For the given query, the total number of FAIL reports stored.

• na

  For the given query, the total number of NA reports stored.

• unknown

  For the given query, the total number of UNKNOWN reports stored.

• pc_pass

  For the given query, the percentage number of PASS reports stored against all reports stored.

• pc_fail

  For the given query, the percentage number of FAIL reports stored against all reports stored.

• pc_na

  For the given query, the percentage number of NA reports stored against all reports stored.

• pc_unknown

  For the given query, the percentage number of UNKNOWN reports stored against all reports stored.

Data Methods

• data

  Returns the basic data structure as a hash reference. If a version is passed as a parameter, the data only for that version is returned. Otherwise all the results are returned, with the version as the top level key of the hash.

• raw

  Returns the raw content returned from the server.
