NAME

File::Util::DirList - File utilities involving a list of directories

VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of File::Util::DirList (from Perl distribution File-Util-DirList), released on 2023-11-20.

FUNCTIONS

mv_files_to_dirs

Usage:

 mv_files_to_dirs(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Move files to directories, one file to each directory.

Examples:

  • Move f1 to d1, f2 to d2, f3 to d3:

     mv_files_to_dirs(files_then_dirs => ["f1", "f2", "f3", "d1", "d2", "d3"]);

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

This function supports dry-run operation.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • files_per_dir => posint (default: 1)

    Number of files to move to each diectory.

  • files_then_dirs* => array[pathname::exists]

    One or more existing file (or directory) names then the same number of existing directories.

  • reverse => true (default: 1)

    Reverse processing (so first file will go to the last dir, second file to second-last dir, and so on).

Special arguments:

  • -dry_run => bool

    Pass -dry_run=>1 to enable simulation mode.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
