Parse::Distname is yet another distribution name parser. It works almost the
|
|
same as CPAN::DistnameInfo, but Parse::Distname takes a different approach. It
|
|
tries to extract a version part of a distribution and treat the rest as a
|
|
distribution name, contrary to CPAN::DistnameInfo which tries to define a name
|
|
part and treat the rest as a version.
|
|
|
|
Because of this difference, when Parse::Distname parses a weird distribution
|
|
name such as "AUTHOR/v1.0.tar.gz", it says the name is empty and the version is
|
|
"v1.0", while CPAN::DistnameInfo says the name is "v" and the version is "1.0".
|
|
See test files in this distribution if you need more details. As of this
|
|
writing, Parse::Distname returns a different result for about 200+ distributions
|
|
among about 320000 BackPan distributions.
