DESCRIPTION

       "CPANPLUS::Internals::Utils" holds a few convenience functions for CPANPLUS libraries.

METHODS

   $cb->_mkdir( dir => '/some/dir' )
       "_mkdir" creates a full path to a directory.

       Returns true on success, false on failure.

   $cb->_chdir( dir => '/some/dir' )
       "_chdir" changes directory to a dir.

       Returns true on success, false on failure.

   $cb->_rmdir( dir => '/some/dir' );
       Removes a directory completely, even if it is non-empty.

       Returns true on success, false on failure.

   $cb->_perl_version ( perl => 'some/perl/binary' );
       "_perl_version" returns the version of a certain perl binary.  It does this by actually
       running a command.

       Returns the perl version on success and false on failure.

   $cb->_version_to_number( version => $version );
       Returns a proper module version, or '0.0' if none was available.

   $cb->_whoami
       Returns the name of the subroutine you're currently in.

   _get_file_contents( file => $file );
       Returns the contents of a file

   $cb->_move( from => $file|$dir, to => $target );
       Moves a file or directory to the target.

       Returns true on success, false on failure.

   $cb->_copy( from => $file|$dir, to => $target );
       Moves a file or directory to the target.

       Returns true on success, false on failure.

   $cb->_mode_plus_w( file => '/path/to/file' );
       Sets the +w bit for the file.

       Returns true on success, false on failure.

   $uri = $cb->_host_to_uri( scheme => SCHEME, host => HOST, path => PATH );
       Turns a CPANPLUS::Config style "host" entry into an URI string.

       Returns the uri on success, and false on failure

   $cb->_vcmp( VERSION, VERSION );
       Normalizes the versions passed and does a '<=>' on them, returning the result.

   $cb->_home_dir
       Returns the user's homedir, or "cwd" if it could not be found

   $path = $cb->_safe_path( path => $path );
       Returns a path that's safe to us on Win32 and VMS.

       Only cleans up the path on Win32 if the path exists.

       On VMS, it encodes dots to _ using "VMS::Filespec::vmsify"

   ($pkg, $version, $ext) = $cb->_split_package_string( package => PACKAGE_STRING );
       Splits the name of a CPAN package string up into its package, version and extension parts.

       For example, "Foo-Bar-1.2.tar.gz" would return the following parts:

           Package:    Foo-Bar
           Version:    1.2
           Extension:  tar.gz
