App::DocKnot::Util - Shared utility functions for other DocKnot modules
use App::DocKnot::Util qw(

);
use Path::Tiny qw(path);
print_checked('some stdout output');
my @inputs = (path('/input-1'), path('/input-2'));

Perl 5.24 or later and the modules List::SomeUtils, Path::Tiny, and
Sort::Versions, available from CPAN.
This module collects utility functions used by other App::DocKnot modules. It is
not really intended for use outside of DocKnot, but these functions can be
used if desired.
- is_newer(FILE, SOURCE[, SOURCE ...])
- Returns a true value if FILE exists and has a last modified
time that is newer or equal to the last modified times of all SOURCE
files, and otherwise returns a false value. Used primarily to determine if
a given output file is up-to-date with respect to its source files. All
paths must be Path::Tiny objects.
- latest_tarball(PATH, NAME)
- Returns data including a file list for the latest tarballs
(by version number) for a given software package NAME in the directory
PATH (which must be a Path::Tiny object). Versions are compared using
Sort::Versions. The return valid is a hash with the following keys:
- files
- The list of files found for that version.
- version
- The version number extracted from this set of files.
- print_checked(ARG[, ARG ...])
- The same as print (without a file handle argument), except
that it throws a text exception on failure as if autodie affected print
(which it unfortunately doesn't because print cannot be prototyped).
- print_fh(FH, NAME, DATA[, DATA ...])
- Writes the concatenation of the DATA elements (interpreted
as scalar strings) to the file handle FH. NAME should be the name of (or
Path::Tiny object for) the file open as FH, and is used for error
reporting.
This is mostly equivalent to "print {fh}" but throws a text
exception in the event of a failure.
