NAME

App::lcpan::Cmd::author_deps - List dependencies for all of the dists of an author

VERSION

This document describes version 1.064 of App::lcpan::Cmd::author_deps (from Perl distribution App-lcpan), released on 2021-04-21.

FUNCTIONS

handle_cmd

Usage:

handle_cmd(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

List dependencies for all of the dists of an author.

For a CPAN author, this subcommand is a shortcut for doing:

% lcpan deps Your-Dist

for all of your distributions. It shows just how many modules are you currently using in one of your distros on CPAN.

To show how many modules from other authors you are depending:

% lcpan author-deps YOURCPANID --module-author-isnt YOURCPANID

To show how many of your own modules you are depending in your own distros:

% lcpan author-deps YOURCPANID --module-author-is YOURCPANID

To find whether there are any prerequisites that you mention in your distributions that are currently broken (not indexed on CPAN):

% lcpan author-deps YOURCPANID --broken --dont-uniquify

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• added_or_updated_since => date

  Include only records that are added/updated since a certain date.

• added_or_updated_since_last_index_update => true

  Include only records that are added/updated since the last index update.

• added_or_updated_since_last_n_index_updates => posint

  Include only records that are added/updated since the last N index updates.

• added_since => date

  Include only records that are added since a certain date.

• added_since_last_index_update => true

  Include only records that are added since the last index update.

• added_since_last_n_index_updates => posint

  Include only records that are added since the last N index updates.

• author* => str

• cpan => dirname

  Location of your local CPAN mirror, e.g. /path/to/cpan.

  Defaults to ~/cpan.

• dont_uniquify => bool

  Allow showing multiple modules for different dists.

• flatten => bool

  Instead of showing tree-like information, flatten it.

  When recursing, the default is to show the final result in a tree-like table, i.e. indented according to levels, e.g.:

  % lcpan deps -R MyModule
  | module            | author  | version |
  |-------------------|---------|---------|
  | Foo               | AUTHOR1 | 0.01    |
  |   Bar             | AUTHOR2 | 0.23    |
  |   Baz             | AUTHOR3 | 1.15    |
  | Qux               | AUTHOR2 | 0       |

  To be brief, if Qux happens to also depends on Bar, it will not be shown in the result. Thus we don't know the actual Bar version that is needed by the dependency tree of MyModule. For example, if Qux happens to depends on Bar version 0.45 then MyModule indirectly requires Bar 0.45.

  To list all the direct and indirect dependencies on a single flat list, with versions already resolved to the largest version required, use the flatten option:

  % lcpan deps -R --flatten MyModule
  | module            | author  | version |
  |-------------------|---------|---------|
  | Foo               | AUTHOR1 | 0.01    |
  | Bar               | AUTHOR2 | 0.45    |
  | Baz               | AUTHOR3 | 1.15    |
  | Qux               | AUTHOR2 | 0       |

  Note that Bar's required version is already 0.45 in the above example.

• include_core => bool (default: 1)

  Include core modules.

• include_indexed => bool (default: 1)

  Include modules that are indexed (listed in 02packages.details.txt.gz).

• include_noncore => bool (default: 1)

  Include non-core modules.

• include_unindexed => bool (default: 1)

  Include modules that are not indexed (not listed in 02packages.details.txt.gz).

• index_name => filename (default: "index.db")

  Filename of index.

  If index_name is a filename without any path, e.g. index.db then index will be located in the top-level of cpan. If index_name contains a path, e.g. ./index.db or /home/ujang/lcpan.db then the index will be located solely using the index_name.

• level => int (default: 1)

  Recurse for a number of levels (-1 means unlimited).

• module_authors => array[str]

  Only list depended modules published by specified author(s).

• module_authors_arent => array[str]

  Do not list depended modules published by specified author(s).

• perl_version => str (default: "v5.30.0")

  Set base Perl version for determining core modules.

• phase => str (default: "runtime")

• rel => str (default: "requires")

• updated_since => date

  Include only records that are updated since certain date.

• updated_since_last_index_update => true

  Include only records that are updated since the last index update.

• updated_since_last_n_index_updates => posint

  Include only records that are updated since the last N index updates.

• use_bootstrap => bool (default: 1)

  Whether to use bootstrap database from App-lcpan-Bootstrap.

  If you are indexing your private CPAN-like repository, you want to turn this off.

• with_xs_or_pp => bool

  Check each dependency as XS/PP.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)
