VERSION

version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

NOTICE: This module and the Sub::Spec standard is deprecated as of Jan 2012. Rinci is the new specification to replace Sub::Spec, it is about 95% compatible with Sub::Spec, but corrects a few issues and is more generic. Perinci::* is the Perl implementation for Rinci and many of its modules can handle existing Sub::Spec sub specs.

This module provides load_ss_module(), usually used as shown in Synopsis, a la Perl's use().

This module uses Log::Any for logging.

FUNCTIONS

None are exported.

load_ss_module(%args) -> [STATUS_CODE, ERR_MSG, RESULT]

Load a module specified using Sub::Spec URI.

"Load" a module specified by using Sub::Spec::URI (e.g. pm://Foo::Bar or http://example.com/Foo::Bar). Actually, what is being done is query the remote URI for available functions, and for each function, create a proxy (and get its spec from the URI, if available). The proxy function will then call the remote function.

Returns a 3-element arrayref. STATUS_CODE is 200 on success, or an error code between 3xx-5xx (just like in HTTP). ERR_MSG is a string containing error message, RESULT is the actual result.

Arguments (* denotes required arguments):

  • into => str

    Package name to put proxy functions into.

    Default is to be determined from URI. For example, if URI is pm://Foo::Bar, then 'into' will be set to 'Foo::Bar'.

  • uri* => str

    Location of module.

TODO

* Can't work with other server URI's except pm://
