NAME

CPAN::Testers::Search - Interface to search CPAN Testers.

VERSION

Version 0.02

DESCRIPTION

This module is a very thin wrapper for "Find A Tester" feature provided by cpantesters.org.

METHODS

search()

Search a CPAN Tester for the given ID or GUID. Please use with care and do *NOT* generate spam attacks on testers. Currently CPAN Testers reports are publicly available via the CPAN Testers Reports site, using a unique ID used by 'cpanstats' database or a GUID used by the Metabase data store. Either of these can be used to perform a lookup. The ID or GUID is displayed via the report display on the CPAN Testers Reports site. For example,

http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/7019327
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/07019335-b19f-3f77-b713-d32bba55d77f

Here 7019327 is the ID and 07019335-b19f-3f77-b713-d32bba55d77f is the GUID.

use strict; use warnings;
use CPAN::Testers::Search;

my $tester = CPAN::Testers::Search->new();

print $tester->search('7019327') . "\n";
# or
print $tester->search('07019335-b19f-3f77-b713-d32bba55d77f') . "\n";
# or
print $tester->search(id => '7019327') . "\n";
# or
print $tester->search(guid => '07019335-b19f-3f77-b713-d32bba55d77f') . "\n";
