NAME

Module::Packaged - Report upon packages of CPAN distributions

SYNOPSIS

   use Module::Packaged;
 
   my $p = Module::Packaged->new();
   my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar');
   # $dists is now:
   # {
   # cpan    => '1.08',
   # debian  => '1.03',
   # fedora  => '0.22',
   # freebsd => '1.07',
   # gentoo  => '1.05',
   # openbsd => '0.22',
   # suse    => '0.23',
   # }
 
   # meaning that Archive-Tar is at version 1.08 on CPAN but only at
   # version 1.07 on FreeBSD, version 1.05 on Gentoo, version 1.03 on
   # Debian, version 0.23 on SUSE and version 0.22 on OpenBSD

DESCRIPTION

CPAN consists of distributions. However, CPAN is not an isolated system - distributions are also packaged in other places, such as for operating systems. This module reports whether CPAN distributions are packaged for various operating systems, and which version they have.

Note: only CPAN, Debian, Fedora (Core 2), FreeBSD, Gentoo, Mandriva (10.1), OpenBSD (3.6) and SUSE (9.2) are currently supported. I want to support everything else. Patches are welcome.

METHODS

new()

The new() method is a constructor: 
   my $p = Module::Packaged->new();

check()

The check() method returns a hash reference. The keys are various distributions, the values the version number included: 
   my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar');
