NAME

CPAN::SQLite::Util - export some common data structures used by CPAN::SQLite::*

DESCRIPTION

This module exports some common data structures used by other CPAN::Search::Lite::* modules. At present these are

• %chaps

  This is hash whose keys are the CPAN chapter ids with associated values being the corresponding chapter descriptions.

• $dslip

  This contains a description of the meaning of the various dslip codes.

• $table_id

  This is a hash reference whose keys are the tables used and whose values are the associated primary keys.

• $full_id

  This is a hash reference whose keys are the primary keys of the tables and whose values are the associated fully qualified primary keys (ie, with the table name prepended).

• $mode_info

  This is a hash reference whose keys are the allowed modes of CPAN::Search::Lite::Query and whose associated values are hash references with keys id, name, and text describing what columns to use for that key.

• $query_info

  This is a hash reference whose purpose is to provide shortcuts to making queries using CPAN::Search::Lite::Query. The keys of this reference is the shortcut name, and the associated value is a hash reference specifying the required mode and type keys.

• vcmp

  This routine, used as

  if (vcmp($v1, $v2) > 0) {
    print "$v1 is higher than $v2\n";
  }

  is used to compare two versions, and returns 1/0/-1 if the first argument is considered higher/equal/lower than the second. It uses Sort::Versions.
