Data::Hopen - A dataflow library with first-class edges
Data::Hopen is a dataflow library that runs actions you specify, moves data
between those actions, and permits transforming data as the data moves. It is
the underlying engine of the App::hopen cross-platform software build
generator, but can be used for any dataflow task that can be represented as a
directed acyclic graph (DAG).
Easiest: install cpanminus if you don't have it - see
https://metacpan.org/pod/App::cpanminus#INSTALLATION. Then run
cpanm Data::Hopen.
Manually: clone or untar into a working directory. Then, in that directory,
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
(you may need to install dependencies as well - see https://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html for resources). If all the tests pass,
make install
If some of the tests fail, please check the issues and file a new one if no one else has reported the problem yet.
Not exported by default, except as noted.
Set to a positive integer to get debug output on stderr from hopen's internals. The higher the value, the more output you are likely to get. See also "hlog".
Set to truthy to suppress output. Quiet overrides "$VERBOSE".
All are exported by default unless indicated.
Creates a new Data::Hopen instance. For example:
hnew DAG => 'foo';
is the same as
Data::Hopen::G::DAG->new( name => 'foo' );
The first parameter ($class) is an abbreviated package name. It is tried
as the following, in order. The first one that succeeds is used.
Data::Hopen::G::$class. This is tried only if$classdoes not include a double-colon.Data::Hopen::$class$class
The second parameter must be the name of the new instance. All other parameters are passed unchanged to the relevant constructor.
Log information if "$VERBOSE" is set. Usage:
hlog { <list of things to log> } [optional min verbosity level (default 1)];
The items in the list are joined by ' ' on output, and a '\n' is added.
Each line is prefixed with '# ' for the benefit of test runs.
The list is in {} so that it won't be evaluated if logging is turned off.
It is a full block, so you can run arbitrary code to decide what to log.
If the block returns an empty list, hlog will not produce any output.
However, if the block returns at least one element, hlog will produce at
least a '# '.
The message will be output only if "$VERBOSE" is at least the given minimum verbosity level (1 by default).
If $VERBOSE > 2, the filename and line from which hlog was called
will also be printed.
An alias of the parameters() function from Getargs::Mixed, but with
-undef_ok set.
(Not exported by default) Load a package given a list of stems. Usage:
my $fullname = loadfrom($name[, @stems]);
Returns the full name of the loaded package, or falsy on failure.
If @stems is omitted, no stem is used, i.e., $name is tried as-is.
A Data::Hopen::Util::NameSet that matches any non-empty string.
Always returns the same reference, so that it can be tested with ==.
A Data::Hopen::Util::NameSet that never matches. Always returns the
same reference, so that it can be tested with ==.
