NAME

WWW::PAUSE::Simple - An API for PAUSE

VERSION

This document describes version 0.452 of WWW::PAUSE::Simple (from Perl distribution WWW-PAUSE-Simple), released on 2021-08-26.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This module provides several functions for performing common tasks on PAUSE. There is also a CLI script pause distributed separately in App::pause.

FUNCTIONS

delete_files

Usage:

delete_files(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Delete files.

When a file is deleted, it is not immediately deleted but has scheduled_for_deletion status for 72 hours, then deleted. During that time, the file can be undeleted.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

This function supports dry-run operation.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • files* => array[str]

    File names/wildcard patterns.

  • password => str

    PAUSE password.

    If unset, default value will be searched from ~/.pause. Encrypted .pause is not yet supported.

  • protect_files => array[str]

    Protect some files/wildcard patterns from delete/cleanup.

  • retries => int (default: 5)

    Number of retries when received 5xx HTTP error from server.

    The retry uses an exponential backoff strategy of delaying 3, 6, 12, 24, ..., 3600, 3600, ... seconds.

  • username => str

    PAUSE ID.

    If unset, default value will be searched from ~/.pause. Encrypted .pause is not yet supported.

Special arguments:

  • -dry_run => bool

    Pass -dry_run=>1 to enable simulation mode.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

delete_old_releases

Usage:

delete_old_releases(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Delete older versions of distributions.

Currently does not look for releases in subdirectories.

By default does not include developer (trial) releases. To include that, use --include-dev.

To only cleanup developer releases, you can use --include-dev and --exclude-nondev.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

This function supports dry-run operation.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • detail => bool

    Whether to return detailed records.

  • include_dev => bool (default: 0)

    Whether to include cleaning up non-dev releases.

  • include_nondev => bool (default: 1)

    Whether to include cleaning up non-dev releases.

  • num_keep => int (default: 1)

    Number of new versions (including newest) to keep.

    1 means to only keep the newest version, 2 means to keep the newest and the second newest, and so on.

  • password => str

    PAUSE password.

    If unset, default value will be searched from ~/.pause. Encrypted .pause is not yet supported.

  • protect_files => array[str]

    Protect some files/wildcard patterns from delete/cleanup.

  • retries => int (default: 5)

    Number of retries when received 5xx HTTP error from server.

    The retry uses an exponential backoff strategy of delaying 3, 6, 12, 24, ..., 3600, 3600, ... seconds.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
