VCS 0.14

VCS project is a Perl library for generic Version Control System access in Perl. SYNOPSIS use VCS; $file = VCS::File->new($ARGV[0]); print $file->url, ":n"; for $version ($file->versions) { print $version->version, was checked in by , $version->author, "n"; } VCS is an API for abstracting access to all version control systems from Perl code. This is achieved in a similar fashion to the DBI suite of modules. There are "container" classes, VCS::Dir, VCS::File, and VCS::Version, and "implementation" classes, such as VCS::Cvs::Dir, VCS::Cvs::File, and VCS::Cvs::Version, which are subclasses of their respective "container" classes. The container classes are instantiated with URLs. There is a URL scheme for entities under version control. The format is as follows: vcs://localhost/VCS::Cvs/fs/path/?query=1 The "query" part is ignored for now. The path must be an absolute path, meaningful to the given class. The class is an implementation class, such as VCS::Cvs. The "container" classes work as follows: when the new method of a container class is called, it will parse the given URL, using the VCS->parse_url method. It will then call the new of the implementations appropriate container subclass, and return the result. For example, VCS::Version->new(vcs://localhost/VCS::Cvs/fs/path/file/1.2); will return a VCS::Cvs::Version. An implementation class is recognised as follows: its name starts with VCS::, and require "VCS/Classname.pm" will load the appropriate implementation classes corresponding to the container classes. VCS METHODS VCS->parse_url This returns a four-element list: ($hostname, $classname, $path, $query) For example, VCS->parse_url(vcs://localhost/VCS::Cvs/fs/path/file/1.2); will return ( localhost, VCS::Cvs, /fs/path/file/1.2, ) This is mostly intended for use by the container classes, and its interface is subject to change. VCS->class_load This loads its given implementation class. This is mostly intended for use by the container classes, and its interface is subject to change..
