💖 DPKG::Parse::Packages 💖

okay bestie, so this is DPKG::Parse::Packages, a Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (that's the 3pm part of the manual name, iykyk). And no cap, it does exactly one thing but it does it gorgeously: it parses the Packages file. Slay. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

DPKG::Parse::Packages — Parse the Packages file. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the main character moment, fr fr:

use DPKG::Parse::Packages;

my $packages = DPKG::Parse::Packages->new(
    'filename' => '/usr/src/packages/Packages',
);
while (my $entry = $packages->next_package) {
    print $entry->package . " " . $entry->version . "\n";
}

my $postfix = $packages->get_package('name' => 'postfix');

look at that. create it, loop it, grab a package by name. iconic. 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

DPKG::Parse::Packages parses a dpkg/apt style Packages file and turns every single entry into a DPKG::Parse::Entry object. one entry, one object, no crumbs left behind. ✨

need the tea on get_package and next_package? that's over in DPKG::Parse. literally go look, it's all there. 🫶

want the whole lore on the entry objects themselves? DPKG::Parse::Entry has you covered, bestie. 🎀

🎀 METHODS 🎀

  • new('filename' => '/usr/src/packages/Packages') — creates a brand new DPKG::Parse::Packages object, fresh out of the box. and by default? it tries to open /usr/src/packages/Packages, so if you don't pass a filename it's just gonna go for that one. defaults, we love her. 💖
