NAME Perinci::Access::Lite - A lightweight Riap client library VERSION This document describes version 0.150 of Perinci::Access::Lite (from Perl distribution Perinci-Access-Lite), released on 2022-10-28. DESCRIPTION This module is a lightweight alternative to Perinci::Access. It has less prerequisites but does fewer things. The things it supports: * Local (in-process) access to Perl modules and functions Currently only "call", "meta", and "list" actions are implemented. Variables and other entities are not yet supported. The "list" action only gathers keys from %SPEC and do not yet list subpackages. * HTTP/HTTPS * HTTP over Unix socket Differences with Perinci::Access: * For network access, uses HTTP::Tiny module family instead of LWP This results in fewer dependencies. HTTP::Tiny (and HTTP::Tiny::UNIX) are even specified as runtime recommends dependencies instead of runtime requires, so if your script or downstream library requires HTTP access, you'll need to specify the dependencies explicitly. * No wrapping, no argument checking For 'pl' or schemeless URL, no wrapping (Perinci::Sub::Wrapper) is done, only normalization (using Perinci::Sub::Normalize). * No transaction or logging support * No support for some schemes This includes: Riap::Simple over pipe/TCP socket. ADDED RESULT METADATA This class might add the following property/attribute in result metadata: x.hint.result_binary => bool If result's schema type is "buf", then this class will set this attribute to true, to give hints to result formatters. ATTRIBUTES riap_version => float (default: 1.1) METHODS new(%attrs) => obj $pa->request($action, $url, $extra) => hash HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at .

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2022, 2016, 2015, 2014 by perlancar .
