Then, it installs these newly created temporary F<.par> files in the default location using L's C routine. Yes, that means you can install packages for the PPM without PPM. The module uses L to create the F<.par> files. Please note that this code I but hasn't been tested to full extent. =head2 EXPORT By default, the C subroutine is exported to the caller's namespace. =head1 SUBROUTINES This is a list of all public subroutines in the module. =head2 par_install_ppd This routine takes the same arguments as C from L except for the output directory and the options that set the meta data for the produced F<.par> file. The details are reproduced below. The only mandatory parameter is an URI for the PPD file to parse. Arguments: uri => 'ftp://foo/bar' or 'file:///home/you/file.ppd', ... verbose => 1/0 (verbose mode on/off) selectarch => Regular Expression. selectperl => Regular Expression. If a regular expression is specified using C, that expression is matched against the architecture settings of each implementation. The first matching implementation is chosen. If none matches, the implementations are tried in order of appearance. C works the same as C, but operates on the (minimum) perl version of an implementation. If both C and C are present, C operates on the implementations matched by C. That means C takes precedence. =head1 SEE ALSO The L module is used to create L<.par> distributions and install them. The L module converts the PPD package descriptions. PAR has a mailing list, , that you can write to; send an empty mail to to join the list and participate in the discussion. Please send bug reports to . The official PAR website may be of help, too: http://par.perl.org For details on the I, please refer to ActiveState's website at L. =head1 AUTHOR Steffen Mueller, Esmueller at cpan dot orgE =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 2006 by Steffen Mueller This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself, either Perl version 5.6 or, at your option, any later version of Perl 5 you may have available. =cut
