NAME App::PMUtils - Command-line utilities related to Perl modules VERSION This document describes version 0.722 of App::PMUtils (from Perl distribution App-PMUtils), released on 2019-06-01. SYNOPSIS This distribution provides the following command-line utilities related to Perl modules: * module-dir * pmbin * pmcat * pmchkver * pmcore * pmcost * pmdir * pmdoc * pmedit * pmgrep * pmhtml * pminfo * pmlatest * pmless * pmlines * pmlist * pmman * pmminversion * pmpath * pmstripper * pmuninst * pmversion * pmxs * podlist * podpath * pwd2mod * rel2mod The main purpose of these utilities is tab completion. FUNCTIONS pmdir Usage: pmdir(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta] Get directory of locally installed Perl module/prefix. This is basically a shortcut for: % pmpath -Pd MODULE_OR_PREFIX_NAME Sometimes I forgot that pmpath has a "-d" option, and often intuitively look for a pmdir command. This function is not exported. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * abs => *bool* Absolutify each path. * module* => *array[perl::modname]* * pm => *int* (default: 1) * pmc => *int* (default: 0) * pod => *int* (default: 0) 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) pmpath Usage: pmpath(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta] Get path to locally installed Perl module. This function is not exported. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * abs => *bool* Absolutify each path. * all => *bool* Return all found files for each module instead of the first one. * dir => *bool* Show directory instead of path. Also, will return "." if not found, so you can conveniently do this on a Unix shell: % cd C and it won't change directory if the module doesn't exist. * module* => *array[perl::modname]* * pm => *int* (default: 1) * pmc => *int* (default: 0) * pod => *int* (default: 0) * prefix => *int* (default: 0) 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) rel2mod Usage: rel2mod(%args) -> any Convert release name (e.g. Foo-Bar-1.23.tar.gz) to module name (Foo::Bar). This function is not exported. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * releases* => *array[str]* Return value: (any) FAQ What is the purpose of this distribution? Haven't other similar utilities existed? For example, mpath from Module::Path distribution is similar to pmpath in App::PMUtils, and mversion from Module::Version distribution is similar to pmversion from App::PMUtils distribution, and so on. True. The main point of these utilities is shell tab completion, to save typing. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .
