SYNOPSIS

12
13         my \%packages = Test::AutoBuild::Lib::package_snapshot($package_types);
14         my \%newpackages = Test::AutoBuild::Lib::new_packages(\%before, \%after);
15
16         my $string = Test::AutoBuild::Lib::pretty_size($bytes);

DESCRIPTION

21       The Test::AutoBuild::Lib module provides a library of routines that are
22       shared across many different modules.
23

METHODS

25       my %packages = Test::AutoBuild::Lib::new_packages(\%before, \%after);
26           Compares the sets of packages defined by the "before" and "after"
27           package snapshots. The returned hash ref will have entries for any
28           files in "after", but not in "before", or any files which were mod‐
29           ified between "before" and "after" snapshots.
30
31       my $string = Test::AutoBuild::Lib::pretty_date($seconds);
32           Formats the time specified in the "seconds" parameter to follow the
33           style "Wed Jan 14 2004 21:45:23 UTC".
34
35       my $string = Test::AutoBuild::Lib::pretty_time($seconds);
36           Formats an interval in seconds for friendly viewing according to
37           the style "2h 27m 12s" - ie 2 hours, 27 minutes and 12 seconds.
38
39       my $string = Test::AutoBuild::Lib::pretty_size($bytes);
40           Formats the size specified in the "bytes" parameter for friendly
41           viewing. If the number of bytes is > 1024x1024 then it formats in
42           MB, with 2 decimal places. Else if the number of bytes is > 1024 it
43           formats in kb with 2 decimal places. Otherwise it just formats as
44           bytes.
45
46       my $status = Test::AutoBuild::Lib::run($comnand, \%env);
47           Executes the program specified in the "command" argument.  The
48           returned value is the output of the commands standard output
49           stream. Prior to running the command, the environment variables
50           specified in the "env" parameter are set. This environment is modi‐
51           fied locally, so the changes are only in effect for the duration of
52           this method.
53
54       ($config, $fh, $error) = Test::AutoBuild::Lib::load_template_con‐
55       fig($file, [\%vars])
56           This method loads the content of the configuration file $file,
57           passes it through the Template module, and then creates an instance
58           of the Config::Record module. The second optiona %vars parameter is
59           a hash reference containing a set of variables which will be passed
60           through to the templating engine. A 3 element list is returned, the
61           first element containing the Config::Record object, the second a
62           scalar containing the post-processed configuration file, the last
63           containing any error message generated.
