=head1 NAME

CPANPLUS::Backend - programmer's interface to CPANPLUS

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    my $cb      = CPANPLUS::Backend->new;
    my $conf    = $cb->configure_object;

    my $author  = $cb->author_tree('KANE');
    my $mod     = $cb->module_tree('Some::Module');
    my $mod     = $cb->parse_module( module => 'Some::Module' );

    my @objs    = $cb->search(  type    => TYPE,
                                allow   => [...] );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides the programmer's interface to the C
libraries.

=head1 ENVIRONMENT

When C is loaded, which is necessary for just
about every  operation, the environment variable
C is set to the current process id.

Additionally, the environment variable C
will be set to the version of C.

This information might be useful somehow to spawned processes.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 $cb = CPANPLUS::Backend->new( [CONFIGURE_OBJ] )

This method returns a new C object.
This also initialises the config corresponding to this object.
You have two choices in this:

=over 4

=item Provide a valid C object

This will be used verbatim.

=item No arguments

Your default config will be loaded and used.

=back

New will return a C object on success and die on
failure.

=pod

=head2 $href = $cb->module_tree( [@modules_names_list] )

Returns a reference to the CPANPLUS module tree.

If you give it any arguments, they will be treated as module names
and C will try to look up these module names and
return the corresponding module objects instead.

See L for the operations you can perform on a
module object.

            ### because ODS-2 does not retain the case of
            ### filenames that are created.
            ### The problem is the filename is being converted
            ### to a module name and then looked up in the
            ### %$modtree hash.
            ###
            ### As a fix, we do a search on VMS instead --
            ### more cpu cycles, but it gets around the case

=head2 $href = $cb->author_tree( [@author_names_list] )

Returns a reference to the CPANPLUS author tree.

and C will try to look up these author names and

=head2 @mods = $cb->search( type => TYPE, allow => AREF, [data => AREF, verbose => BOOL] )

C enables you to search for either module or author objects,
based on their data. The C you can specify is any of the
accessors specified in C or
C. C will determine by the C you
specified whether to search by author object or module object.

You have to specify an array reference of regular expressions or
strings to match against. The rules used for this array ref are the
same as in C, so read that manpage for details.

The search is an C search, meaning that if C of the criteria
match, the search is considered to be successful.

You can specify the result of a previous search as C to limit
the new search to these module or author objects, rather than the
entire module or author tree.  This is how you do C searches.

Returns a list of module or author objects on success and false
on failure.

See L for the operations you can perform on a
module object.

C tries to find a C object that
matches your query. Here's a list of examples you could give to
C;

=over 4

=item Text::Bastardize

=item Text-Bastardize

=item Text/Bastardize.pm

=item Text-Bastardize-1.06

=item AYRNIEU/Text-Bastardize

=item AYRNIEU/Text-Bastardize-1.06

=item AYRNIEU/Text-Bastardize-1.06.tar.gz

=item http://example.com/Text-Bastardize-1.06.tar.gz

=item file:///tmp/Text-Bastardize-1.06.tar.gz

=item /tmp/Text-Bastardize-1.06

=item ./Text-Bastardize-1.06

=item .

=back

These items would all come up with a C object for
C. The ones marked explicitly as being version 1.06
would give back a C object of that version.
Even if the version on CPAN is currently higher.

The last three are examples of PATH resolution. In the first, we supply
an absolute path to the unwrapped distribution. In the second the
distribution is relative to the current working directory.
In the third, we will use the current working directory.

If C is unable to actually find the module you are looking
for in its module tree, but you supplied it with an author, module
and version part in a distribution name or URI, it will create a fake
C object for you, that you can use just like the
real thing.

See L for the operations you can perform on a
module object.

If even this fancy guessing doesn't enable C to create
a fake module object for you to use, it will warn about an error and
return false.

This method reloads the source files.

If C is set to true, this will fetch new source files
from your CPAN mirror. Otherwise, C will do its
usual cache checking and only update them if they are out of date.

By default, C will be false.

The verbose setting defaults to what you have specified in your
config file.

Returns true on success and false on failure.

This method allows flushing of caches.
There are several things which can be flushed:

=over 4

=item * C

The return status of methods which have been attempted, such as
different ways of fetching files.  It is recommended that automatic
flushing be used instead.

=item * C

The return status of URIs which have been attempted, such as
different hosts of fetching files.  It is recommended that automatic
flushing be used instead.

=item * C

Information about modules such as prerequisites and whether
installation succeeded, failed, or was not attempted.

=item * C

This resets PERL5LIB, which is changed to ensure that while installing
modules they are in our @INC.

=item * C

This resets the cache of modules we've attempted to load, but failed.
This enables you to load them again after a failed load, if they
somehow have become available.

=item * C

Flush all of the aforementioned caches.

=back

Returns true on success and false on failure.

Creates a local mirror of CPAN, of only the most recent sources in a

in your C you can use your local mirror to install
from.

It takes the following arguments:

=over 4

=item path

The location where to create the local mirror.

=item index_files

Enable/disable fetching of index files. You can disable fetching of the
index files if you don't plan to use the local mirror as your primary
site, or if you'd like up-to-date index files be fetched from elsewhere.

Defaults to true.

=item force

Forces refetching of packages, even if they are there already.

Defaults to whatever setting you have in your C.

=item verbose

Prints more messages about what its doing.

Defaults to whatever setting you have in your C.

=head2 $file = $cb->autobundle([path => OUTPUT_PATH, force => BOOL, verbose => BOOL])

Writes out a snapshot of your current installation in C bundle
style. This can then be used to install the same modules for a
different or on a different machine by issuing the following commands:

    ### using the default shell:
    CPAN Terminal> i file://path/to/Snapshot_XXYY.pm

    ### using the API
    $modobj = $cb->parse_module( module => 'file://path/to/Snapshot_XXYY.pm' );

It will, by default, write to an 'autobundle' directory under your
cpanplus home directory, but you can override that by supplying a
C argument.

It will return the location of the output file on success and false on
failure.
