NAME

6       CPANPLUS::Internals
7

SYNOPSIS

9           my $internals   = CPANPLUS::Internals->_init( _conf => $conf );
10           my $backend     = CPANPLUS::Internals->_retrieve_id( $ID );
11

DESCRIPTION

13       This module is the guts of CPANPLUS -- it inherits from all other
14       modules in the CPANPLUS::Internals::* namespace, thus defying normal
15       rules of OO programming -- but if you're reading this, you already know
16       what's going on ;)
17
18       Please read the "CPANPLUS::Backend" documentation for the normal API.

ACCESSORS

21       _conf
22           Get/set the configure object
23
24       _id Get/set the id
25

METHODS

27   $internals = CPANPLUS::Internals->_init( _conf => CONFIG_OBJ )
28       "_init" creates a new CPANPLUS::Internals object.
29
30       You have to pass it a valid "CPANPLUS::Configure" object.
31
32       Returns the object on success, or dies on failure.
33
34   $bool = $internals->_flush( list => \@caches )
35       Flushes the designated caches from the "CPANPLUS" object.
36
37       Returns true on success, false if one or more caches could not be be
38       flushed.
39
40   $bool = $internals->_register_callback( name => CALLBACK_NAME, code =>
41       CODEREF );
42       Registers a callback for later use by the internal libraries.
43
44       Here is a list of the currently used callbacks:
45
46       install_prerequisite
47           Is called when the user wants to be "asked" about what to do with
48           prerequisites. Should return a boolean indicating true to install
49           the prerequisite and false to skip it.
50
51       send_test_report
52           Is called when the user should be prompted if he wishes to send the
53           test report. Should return a boolean indicating true to send the
54           test report and false to skip it.
55
56       munge_test_report
57           Is called when the test report message has been composed, giving
58           the user a chance to programatically alter it. Should return the
59           (munged) message to be sent.
60
61       edit_test_report
62           Is called when the user should be prompted to edit test reports
63           about to be sent out by Test::Reporter. Should return a boolean
64           indicating true to edit the test report in an editor and false to
65           skip it.
66
67       proceed_on_test_failure
68           Is called when 'make test' or 'Build test' fails. Should return a
69           boolean indicating whether the install should continue even if the
70           test failed.
71
72       munge_dist_metafile
73           Is called when the "CPANPLUS::Dist::*" metafile is created, like
74           "control" for "CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb", giving the user a chance to
75           programatically alter it. Should return the (munged) text to be
76           written to the metafile.
77
78   $bool = $internals->_add_to_includepath( directories => \@dirs )
79       Adds a list of directories to the include path.  This means they get
80       added to @INC as well as $ENV{PERL5LIB}.
81
82       Returns true on success, false on failure.
83
84   $id = CPANPLUS::Internals->_last_id
85       Return the id of the last object stored.
86
87   $id = CPANPLUS::Internals->_store_id( $internals )
88       Store this object; return its id.
89
90   $obj = CPANPLUS::Internals->_retrieve_id( $ID )
91       Retrieve an object based on its ID -- return false on error.
92
93   CPANPLUS::Internals->_remove_id( $ID )
94       Remove the object marked by $ID from storage.
95
96   @objs = CPANPLUS::Internals->_return_all_objects
97       Return all stored objects.
