NAME
       Run::Parts - Offers functionality of Debian's run-parts tool in Perl


VERSION
       version 0.09


SYNOPSIS
       Run::Parts offers functionality of Debian's run-parts(8) tool in Perl.

       run-parts runs all the executable files named within constraints described in run-parts(8) and
       Run::Parts::Perl, found in the given directory.  Other files and directories are silently ignored.

       Additionally it can just print the names of the all matching files (not limited to executables, but
       ignores blacklisted files like e.g. backup files), but don't actually run them.

       This is useful when functionality or configuration is split over multiple files in one directory. A
       typical convention is that the directory name ends in ".d". Common examples for such split configuration
       directories:

           /etc/cron.d/
           /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/
           /etc/apt/sources.list.d/,
           /etc/aptitude-robot/pkglist.d/
           /etc/logrotate.d/
           /etc/rsyslog.d/

       Perhaps a little code snippet.

           use Run::Parts;

           my $rp  = Run::Parts->new('directory'); # chooses backend automatically
           my $rpp = Run::Parts->new('directory', 'perl'); # pure perl backend
           my $rpd = Run::Parts->new('directory', 'debian'); # uses /bin/run-parts

           my @file_list        = $rp->list;
           my @executables_list = $rpp->test;
           my $commands_output  = $rpd->run;
           ...


BACKENDS
       Run::Parts contains two backend implementations.  Run::Parts::Debian actually uses /bin/run-parts and
       Run::Parts::Perl is a pure Perl implementation of a basic set of run-parts(8)' functionality.

       Run::Parts::Debian may or may not work with RedHat's simplified shell-script based reimplementation of
       Debian's run-parts(8).

       By default Run::Parts uses Run::Parts::Debian if /bin/run-parts exists, Run::Parts::Perl otherwise. But
       you can also choose any of the backends explicitly.


METHODS
   new (Constructor)
       Creates a new Run::Parts object. Takes one parameter, the directory on which run-parts should work.

   run_parts_command
       Returns the run-parts(8) command to run with the given command parameter.

   list
       Lists all relevant files in the given directory. Equivalent to "run-parts --list".

   test
       Lists all relevant executables in the given directory. Equivalent to "run-parts --test".

   run
       Runs all relevant executables in the given directory. Equivalent to "run-parts".

   concat
       Returns the concatenated contents of all relevant files in the given directory. Equivalent to "cat
       `run-parts --list`".
