NAME

CPANPLUS::Internals

SYNOPSIS

    my $internals   = CPANPLUS::Internals−>_init( _conf => $conf );
    my $backend     = CPANPLUS::Internals−>_retrieve_id( $ID );

DESCRIPTION

This module is the guts of CPANPLUS -- it inherits from all other modules in the CPANPLUS::Internals::* namespace, thus defying normal rules of OO programming -- but if you’re reading this, you already know what’s going on ;)

Please read the "CPANPLUS::Backend" documentation for the normal API .

ACCESSORS

_conf

Get/set the configure object

_id

Get/set the id

METHODS

$internals = CPANPLUS::Internals−>_init( _conf => CONFIG_OBJ )
"_init" creates a new CPANPLUS::Internals object.

You have to pass it a valid "CPANPLUS::Configure" object.

Returns the object on success, or dies on failure.

$bool = $internals−>_flush( list => \@caches )
Flushes the designated caches from the "CPANPLUS" object.

Returns true on success, false if one or more caches could not be be flushed.

$bool = $internals−>_register_callback( name => CALLBACK_NAME , code => CODEREF );
Registers a callback for later use by the internal libraries.

Here is a list of the currently used callbacks:
install_prerequisite

Is called when the user wants to be "asked" about what to do with prerequisites. Should return a boolean indicating true to install the prerequisite and false to skip it.

send_test_report

Is called when the user should be prompted if he wishes to send the test report. Should return a boolean indicating true to send the test report and false to skip it.

munge_test_report

Is called when the test report message has been composed, giving the user a chance to programatically alter it. Should return the (munged) message to be sent.

edit_test_report

Is called when the user should be prompted to edit test reports about to be sent out by Test::Reporter. Should return a boolean indicating true to edit the test report in an editor and false to skip it.

proceed_on_test_failure

Is called when ’make test’ or ’Build test’ fails. Should return a boolean indicating whether the install should continue even if the test failed.

munge_dist_metafile

Is called when the "CPANPLUS::Dist::*" metafile is created, like "control" for "CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb", giving the user a chance to programatically alter it. Should return the (munged) text to be written to the metafile.

$bool = $internals−>_add_to_includepath( directories => \@dirs )
Adds a list of directories to the include path. This means they get added to @INC as well as $ENV{PERL5LIB}.

Returns true on success, false on failure.

$id = CPANPLUS::Internals−>_last_id
Return the id of the last object stored.

$id = CPANPLUS::Internals−>_store_id( $internals )
Store this object; return its id.

$obj = CPANPLUS::Internals−>_retrieve_id( $ID )
Retrieve an object based on its ID -- return false on error.

CPANPLUS::Internals−>_remove_id( $ID )
Remove the object marked by $ID from storage.

@objs = CPANPLUS::Internals−>_return_all_objects
Return all stored objects.
