NAME Acme::CPANModules::OneLinerTools - Modules to make your life easier when writing perl one-liners VERSION This document describes version 0.003 of Acme::CPANModules::OneLinerTools (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-OneLinerTools), released on 2020-02-07. DESCRIPTION Modules to make your life easier when writing perl one-liners. INCLUDED MODULES * L One of the "module autoloader" modules, which happens to have a short name for one-liner usage. So instead of having to type this: % perl -MOrg::Parser::Tiny -E'$doc = Org::Parser::Tiny->new->parse_file("/home/budi/todo.org"); ...' you can now write: % perl -ML -E'$doc = Org::Parser::Tiny->new->parse_file("/home/budi/todo.org"); ...' "Module autoloader" modules work using Perl's autoloading mechanism (read "perlsub" for more details). By declaring a subroutine named "AUTOLOAD" in the "UNIVERSAL" package, you setup a fallback mechanism when you call an undefined subroutine. L's AUTOLOADER loads the module using Module::Load then try to invoke the undefined subroutine once again. * lib::xi This module can automatically install missing module during run-time using "cpanm". Convenient when running a Perl script (that comes without a proper distribution or "cpanfile") that uses several modules which you might not have. The alternative to lib::xi is the "trial and error" method: repeatedly run the Perl script to see which module it tries and fails to load. lib::xi works by installing a hook in @INC. Alternate modules: Require::Hook::More * Log::Any::App A convenient way to display (consume) logs if your application uses Log::Any to produce logs. * Log::ger::App A convenient way to display (consume) logs if your application uses Log::ger to produce logs. * DD::Dummy My preference when dumping data structure when debugging Perl application is, well, Perl format (unlike some others which prefer custom format like Data::Printer). The DD-Dummy distribution provides DD module, which in turn exports "dd" to dump your data structures for debugging using Data::Dump. Another good alternative is XXX which by default uses YAML output but can be changed with this environment variable setting: PERL_XXX_DUMPER=Data::Dump Alternate modules: XXX, Data::Printer * Devel::Confess Forces stack trace when your application warns or dies. Used with the perl's "-d" flag: % perl -d:Confess ... % perl -d:Confess=dump ... * Carp::Patch::Config Carp is used as a stack trace printer (also indirectly if you use Devel::Confess). Sometimes you want to customize some Carp parameters like $Carp::MaxArgNums and $Carp::MaxArgLen from the command-line, and this is where this module helps. * DBIx::Conn::MySQL Shortcut when connecting to MySQL database in your one-liner. Instead of: % perl -MDBI -E'my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:database=mydb", "someuser", "somepass"); $dbh->selectrow_array("query"); ...' you can type: % perl -MDBIx::Conn::MySQL=mydb -E'$dbh->selectrow_array("query"); ...' * DBIx::Conn::SQLite Shortcut when connecting to MySQL database in your one-liner. Instead of: % perl -MDBI -E'my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:SQLite:dbname=mydb", "", ""); $dbh->selectrow_array("query"); ...' you can type: % perl -MDBIx::Conn::SQLite=mydb -E'$dbh->selectrow_array("query"); ...' FAQ What are ways to use this module? Aside from reading it, you can install all the listed modules using cpanmodules: % cpanmodules ls-entries OneLinerTools | cpanm -n or Acme::CM::Get: % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=OneLinerTools -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n This module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for "lcpan related-mods" when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module.
