SYNOPSIS

  use CPAN::Perl::Releases qw[perl_tarballs];

  my $perl = '5.14.0';

  my $hashref = perl_tarballs( $perl );

  print "Location: ", $_, "\n" for values %{ $hashref };

DESCRIPTION

This is static data, but newer versions of this module will be made available as new releases of "perl" are uploaded to CPAN.

FUNCTIONS

"perl_tarballs"

Takes one parameter, a "perl" version to search for. Returns an hashref on success or "undef" otherwise.

The returned hashref will have a key/value for each type of tarball. A key of "tar.gz" indicates the location of a gzipped tar file and "tar.bz2" of a bzip2'd tar file. The values will be the relative path under "authors/id/" on CPAN where the indicated tarball will be located.

  perl_tarballs( '5.14.0' );

  Returns a hashref like:

  {
    "tar.bz2" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.bz2",
    "tar.gz" => "J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.14.0.tar.gz"
  }
    

Not all "perl" releases had "tar.bz2", but only a "tar.gz".

Perl tarballs may also be compressed using "xz" and therefore have a "tar.xz" entry.

"perl_versions"

Returns the list of all the perl versions supported by the module in ascending order. "TRIAL" and "RC" will be lower than an actual release.

"perl_pumpkins"

Returns a sorted list of all PAUSE IDs of Perl pumpkins.
