NAME
   Debian::Apt::PM - locate Perl Modules in Debian repositories

NOTE
   Needs following extra Debian packages `libdpkg-perl' and
   `libapt-pkg-perl'.

SYNOPSIS
   command line:

           apt-pm update
           apt-pm find Moose
           dpkg-scanpmpackages /path/to/debian/repository

           # print out all dependencies of an unpacked distribution that are packaged for Debian
           perl -MDebian::Apt::PM -MModule::Depends -le \
                   '$apm=Debian::Apt::PM->new();$md=Module::Depends->new->dist_dir(".")->find_modules; %r=(%{$md->requires},%{$md->build_requires}); while (($m, $v) = each %r) { $f=$apm->find($m, $v); print $f->{"min"}->{"package"} if $f->{"min"}  }' \
                   | sort \
                   | uniq \
                   | xargs echo apt-get install
           # print out all dependencies of an unpacked distribution that are not packaged for Debian
           perl -MDebian::Apt::PM -MModule::Depends -le \
                   '$apm=Debian::Apt::PM->new();$md=Module::Depends->new->dist_dir(".")->find_modules; %r=(%{$md->requires},%{$md->build_requires}); while (($m, $v) = each %r) { $f=$apm->find($m, $v); print $m, " ", $v if not $f->{"min"}  }'

   Module:

           my $aptpm = Debian::Apt::PM->new(sources => [ 'PerlPackages.bz2' ])
           $aptpm->update;
           my %moose_locations = $aptpm->find('Moose');

USAGE
 COMMAND-LINE USAGE
   Add sources for Debian releases and components. Here is the complete
   list that can be reduced just to the wanted ones:

           cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list << __END__
           # for apt-pm
           deb http://alioth.debian.org/~jozef-guest/pmindex/     lenny   main contrib non-free
           deb http://alioth.debian.org/~jozef-guest/pmindex/     squeeze main contrib non-free
           deb http://alioth.debian.org/~jozef-guest/pmindex/     wheezy  main contrib non-free
           deb http://alioth.debian.org/~jozef-guest/pmindex/     sid     main contrib non-free

           __END__

   Fetch the indexes:

           apt-pm update

   Look for the CPAN modules:

           apt-pm find Moose
           # libmoose-perl_0.17-1_all: Moose 0.17
           # libmoose-perl_0.94-1_i386: Moose 0.94
           # libmoose-perl_0.97-1_i386: Moose 0.97
           # libmoose-perl_0.54-1_all: Moose 0.54

   Look for the non-CPAN modules:

           apt-pm find Purple
           # libpurple0_2.4.3-4lenny5_i386: Purple 0.01

           apt-pm find Dpkg::Version
           # dpkg-dev_1.14.28_all: Dpkg::Version 0

METHODS
 new()
   Object constructor.

   PROPERTIES
   sources
       `isa => 'ArrayRef'' of files that will be read to construct the
       lookup. By default it is filled with files from
       /var/cache/apt/apt-pm/.

   cachedir
       Is the folder where indexes cache files will be stored. Default is
       /var/cache/apt/apt-pm/deb/.

   repo_type
       `deb|deb-src'

   packages_dependencies
       Path to `02packages.dependencies.txt(.gz)?' file.

 find($module_name, [$min_version])
   Returns hash with Perl versions as key and hash value having Debian
   version and package name. Example:

           {
                   '0.94' => {
                           'version' => '0.94-1',
                           'package' => 'libmoose-perl'
                           'arch'    => 'i386'
                   },
                   '0.97' => {
                           'version' => '0.97-1',
                           'package' => 'libmoose-perl'
                           'arch'    => 'i386'
                   },
                   '0.54' => {
                           'version' => '0.54-1',
                           'package' => 'libmoose-perl'
                           'arch'    => 'i386'
                   },
           };

   If `$min_version' is set, returns `min' and `max' keys. `max' has always
   the highest version:

           'max' => {
                   'version' => '0.97-1',
                   'package' => 'libmoose-perl'
                   'arch'    => 'i386'
           },

   `min' is changing depending on `$min_version'. Examples:

           $min_version = '0.01';
           'min' => {
                   'version' => '0.54-1',
                   'package' => 'libmoose-perl'
                   'arch'    => 'i386'
           },
           $min_version = '0.93';
           'min' => {
                   'version' => '0.94-1',
                   'package' => 'libmoose-perl'
                   'arch'    => 'i386'
           },
           $min_version = '1.00';
           'min' => undef,

 update
   Scans the /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list
   repositories for PerlPackages.bz2 and prepares them to be used for find.
   All PerlPackages.bz2 are stored to /var/cache/apt/apt-pm/.

   It also fetches
   http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/cpan2deb/CPAN/02packages.dependencies.
   txt.gz to be used by `apt-cpan'.

 clean
   Remove all files from cache folder.

 resolve_install_depends($force_all, @modules)
   Returns two array references one with Debian packages, the other with
   CPAN packages that needs to be installed on current system for the given
   list of `@modules'.

   Option `$force_all' (true/false) choose to include all dependencies not
   just the ones that needs to be installed.

 module_depends($module)
   Return all Perl modules and Debian packages `$module' has as dependency.
