NAME
App::lcpan::Call - Check that local CPAN mirror exists and is fairly
recent
VERSION
This document describes version 0.120 of App::lcpan::Call (from Perl
distribution App-lcpan-Call), released on 2021-07-21.
FUNCTIONS
call_lcpan_script
Usage:
call_lcpan_script(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
"Call" lcpan script.
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* argv => *array[str]* (default: [])
* max_age => *duration*
Maximum index age (in seconds).
If unspecified, will look at "LCPAN_MAX_AGE" environment variable.
If that is also undefined, will default to 14 days.
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($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 ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is
called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional
metadata.
Return value: (any)
check_lcpan
Usage:
check_lcpan(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Check that local CPAN mirror exists and is fairly recent.
Will return status 200 if "lcpan" script is installed (available from
PATH), local CPAN mirror exists, and is fairly recent and queryable.
This routine will actually attempt to run "lcpan stats-last-index-time"
and return the result if the result is 200 *and* the index is updated
quite recently. By default "quite recently" is defined as not older than
2 weeks or whatever LCPAN_MAX_AGE says (in seconds).
This function is not exported by default, but exportable.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* max_age => *duration*
Maximum index age (in seconds).
If unspecified, will look at "LCPAN_MAX_AGE" environment variable.
If that is also undefined, will default to 14 days.
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($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)
ENVIRONMENT
LCPAN_MAX_AGE => int
Set the default of "max_age".
