CPAN-Testers-WWW-Reports-Query-Reports ====================================== This distribution queries the CPAN Testers website and retrieves a data set. For a date request, the data set returned relates to the ids that can be retrieved for that date. A range request will return the records for the requested IDs. DEPENDENCIES The distribution requires the following modules: JSON::XS WWW::Mechanize INSTALLATION To install this module, untar the tarball into the directory of choice then type the following on the command line (substitute make with nmake or dmake if appropriate): perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Alternatively you may wish to use the CPAN.pm, CPANPLUS or cpanminus as your installer, which will automatically detect uninstalled prerequisities and install those too for you. Initially released during the 2012 QA Hackathon in Paris. SYNOPSIS # establish the object my $query = CPAN::Testers::WWW::Reports::Query::Reports->new; # get list of ids for a particular date my $result = $query->date( '2012-02-08' # must be YYYY-MM-DD format ); # $query is a hash ref print "From: $result->{from}, To: $result->{to}, Range: $result->{range}\n"; # $result->{list} is an array of the actual ids posted for the given date. # note that this list may not include all ids within $result->{range}. print "List: " . join(', ',@{$result->{list}}) . "\n"; # get metabase for a range of ids my $result = $query->range( '20080300-20120330' # '20120330' # just get # '20120330-' # from until the latest [see caveat] # '-20120330' # previous reports up to [see caveat] # '-' # the latest reports [see caveat] ); # $result is a hash ref, with the reports ids as the top level keys my @ids = sort keys %$result; my $id = $ids[0]; print "id = $id, dist = '$result->{$id}{dist}', version = '$result->{$id}{version}'\n"; # get the raw data for all results, or a specific version if supplied my $data = $query->raw; # get the last error my $error = $query->error; Note that when using the range parameter, at most only 2500 records will be returned. This is to avoid accidental requests for all records! BUGS, PATCHES & FIXES There are no known bugs at the time of this release.

However, since 2008 CPAN Testers has grown far beyond the expectations of it's original creators. As a consequence it now requires considerable funding to help support the infrastructure. In early 2012 the Enlightened Perl Organisation very kindly set-up a CPAN Testers Fund within their donatation structure, to help the project cover the costs of servers and services. If you would like to donate to the CPAN Testers Fund, please follow the link below to the Enlightened Perl Organisation's donation site. https://members.enlightenedperl.org/drupal/donate-cpan-testers If your company would like to support us, you can donate financially via the fund link above, or if you have servers or services that we might use, please send an email to admin@cpantesters.org with details. Our full list of current sponsors can be found at our I <3 CPAN Testers site. http://iheart.cpantesters.org AUTHOR Barbie for Miss Barbell Productions http://www.missbarbell.co.uk.
