Dist::Util::Debian - Utilities related to Perl distribution and Debian

VERSION

This document describes version 0.001 of Dist::Util::Debian (from Perl distribution Dist-Util-Debian), released on 2017-01-13.

SYNOPSIS

use Dist::Util::Debian qw(
    dist_has_deb
);

say dist_has_deb("HTTP-Tiny"); # -> 1
say dist_has_deb("Foo");       # -> 0

DESCRIPTION

FUNCTIONS

dist_has_deb($dist) => bool

Return true if distribution named $dist has a corresponding Debian package. Currently the way the routine checks this is rather naive: it converts $dist to Debian package name by turning it to lowercase and adds "lib" + "-perl" prefix and suffix (a small percentage of distributions do not follow this rule). Then it checks against this URL: https://packages.debian.org/sid/$package.

Will warn and return undef on error, e.g. the URL cannot be checked or does not contain negative/positive indicator of existence.
