search

Synopsis

cpran search [options] [arguments]

Description

Searches both the local and remote catalogs of CPrAN plugins.

The argument to search must be a single regular expression. Currently, search tries to match it on the plugni’s name, and returns a list of all those who do.

When executed directly, it will print information on the matched plugins, including their name, version, and a short description. If searching the locally installed plugins, both the local and the remote versions will be displayed.

Examples

# Show all available plugins
cpran search .*
# Show installed plugins with the string "utils" in their name
cpran search -i utils

Options

--installed

Search the local (installed) CPrAN catalog.

--debug

Print debug messages.

Methods

_match()

Performs the search agains the specified fields of the plugin.

_add_output_row()

Generates and adds a line for the output table. This subroutine internally calls make_output_row() and attaches it to the table.

_make_output_row()

Generates the appropriate line for a single plugin specified by name. Takes the name as an argument, and returns a list suitable to be plugged into a Text::Table object.

The output depends on the current options: if –installed is enabled, the returned list will have both the local and the remote versions.
