NAME

       Run::Parts::Perl - Pure Perl implementation of Debian's run-parts tool

VERSION

       Version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

       Pure Perl reimplementation of basic functionality of Debian's run-parts tool.

       run-parts runs all the executable files named within constraints described below, 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.

       This module is not thought to be used directly and its interface may change. See
       Run::Parts for a stable user interface.

FILE NAME CONSTRAINTS

       On unix-ish operating systems, the file name (but not the path) must match
       ^[-A-Za-z0-9_]+$, i.e. may not contain a dot.

       On dos-ish operating systems, the file name without suffix must match ^[-A-Za-z0-9_]+$,
       i.e. may not contain a dot. The suffix may contain alphanumeric characters and is not
       mandatory. The full regular expression the file name including the suffix must match is
       ^[-A-Za-z0-9_]+(\.[A-Za-z0-9]+)?$.

       Debian's run-parts tool also offers to use alternative regular expressions as file name
       constraints. This is not yet implemented in Run::Parts::Perl.

METHODS

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

   run_parts_command
       Executes the given action with the given parameters

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

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

   run
       Executes all relevant executables in the given directory. Equivalent to "run-parts
       --tests". Returns an array.

INTERNAL FUNCTIONS

   dosish
       Returns true if ran on a dos-ish platform, i.e. MS-DOS, Windows or OS/2.
