RoPkg::Utils (3pm)

0.4.6

RoPkg::Utils is a collection of methods used by all other modules in RoPkg.

 #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict; use warnings;

use RoPkg::Utils;

sub main { my $u = new RoPkg::Utils;

print $u->ZeroPad(1),$/, $u->ZeroPad(1, 3),$/, RoPkg::Utils::ZeroPad(1, 3),$/;

eval { $u->CreateFile('/tmp.xyz', 'test message'); };

if (my $e = Exception::Class->caught('File::Create')) { print $e->message,$/; exit(1); }

return 0; }

main();

When we run this, we have:

01 001 001 Could not create /tmp.xyz Permission denied

new()

GetHumanDate($timestamp)

SecToTime($seconds)

AddSlash($text)

DelSlash($text)

ReadFile($file_path)

CleanURI($uri)

CleanPath($path)

GetMD5($path)

All methods raise the following exceptions:

*) Param::Missing when a required parameter is not found in the parameters list.

*) Param::Wrong when a parameter does not comply with the rules. For example when a method expects a number and finds a string.

Besides these exceptions, each method might raise some specific exceptions (see CreateFile). new() is provided for \s-1OO\s0. It doesn't do anything special, besides the blessing.

RoPkg::Utils exports all the methods from the above list. Of course, you can select which ones you want to import.

Example:

use RoPkg::Utils qw(ZeroPad);

sub main { print ZeroPad(1, 3),$/; }

main();

\$1

Check if the parameters from the list are defined inside the object. If the parameters are not defined Param::Missing exception is raised.

Example

package RoPkg::TesterPkg;

sub new { my ($class, %opt) = @_; my $self;

$self = bless { %opt }, $class;

$self->_test_options_1(); $self->_test_options_2();

return $self; }

sub _test_options_1 { my ($self) = @_;

RoPkg::Utils::CheckParam($self, qw(dbo dbo_method));

return 1; }

sub _test_options_2 { my ($self) = @_; my $ru;

$ru = new RoPkg::Utils; $ru->CheckParam($self, qw(dbo dbo_method));

return 1; }

1; This method is usefull when you need to pad with zeroes some numbers. For the moment positive and negative numbers are suported (only integer ones). This method takes 2 parameters $number and $pad_length. The $number is the number who is going to be padded, $pad_length is the maximum length. Zeroes are added until $pad_length is reached. If $pad_length is not defined, length($number)+1 is used. If $pad_length is less than number length, no padding is done. Ex: ZeroPad(1, 2) => 01 ZeroPad(12, 5) => 00012 ZeroPad(-3, 4) => -003 ZeroPad(10, 2) => 10 Used to find a month numeric index (1..12). For the moment full month names and short month names (first 3 letters) are supported. 2 parameters may be passed to this method: $month_name and $padding. $month_name must be January .. December or Jan .. Dec . If the month_name is not found, Param::Unknown exception is raised. $padding is used to pad the numeric index of the month. When padding is not defined, no padding is made. Ex: GetMonthNo('Jan') => 1 GetMonthNo('Jan', 2) => 01 GetMonthNo('January') => 1 GetMonthNo('January', 2) => 01 Takes two parameters. A element value and a list of elements. The methods, search the element value within the list. Returns 1 if the element was found, 0 otherwise. Ex: ElemInList(1, qw(1 2 3 4)) => 1 ElemInList(1, qw(2 3 4)) => 0 Converts the timestamp to \s-1YYYY/MM/DD\s0 \s-1HH:MM\s0 format. Ex: GetHumanDate(12345678) => '1970/05/23 23:21' Converts the seconds to <x days> \s-1HH:MM:SS\s0 format. Ex: SecToTime\|(3) => 00:00:03 SecToTime(61) => 00:01:01 Adds a slash at the end of the string, if the slash is not present. Othewise, leaves the string untouched. Ex: AddSlash('mydirectory') => 'mydirectory/' AddSlash('/tmp/') => '/tmp/'; Removes the slash from the end of the string. If the string has multiple slashes, only the last one is removed. If the string doesn't have any slashes at the end, no modification is made. Ex: DelSlash('/tmp/') => '/tmp' DelSlash('/tmp//') => '/tmp/' Creates a file (with the filename specified), and optionally set the content of the file to the one specified by $content variable. If $content is not defined, the file is just created. If the file can't be created File::Create exception is raised. Returns 1 upon success. Reads the content of the specified file into a variable. If the file can't be opened a File::Open exception is raised. On success returns the file content or !defined if the file is empty. Cleans the $uri from the excedent / -es .

Example:

my $uri = 'http://www.packages.ro//test///uri'; $uri = CleanURI($uri); print $uri,$RS;

the result is: http://www.packages.ro/test/uri

CleanURI recognise only ftp,http and rsync uri's . Any other uri is ignored Cleans the $path from the excedent / -es .

Example:

my $path = '/var/ftp/mirrors///pub//debian.org//'; $path = CleanPath($path); print $path, $RS;

the result is: /var/ftp/mirrors/pub/debian.org/ Returns the base64 md5 sum for the specified file.
