DESCRIPTION
"CPANPLUS::Internals::Utils" holds a few convenience functions for CPANPLUS libraries.

METHODS

  $cb->_mkdir( dir => '/some/dir' )
"_mkdir" creates a full path to a directory.

Returns true on success, false on failure.

  $cb->_chdir( dir => '/some/dir' )
"_chdir" changes directory to a dir.

Returns true on success, false on failure.

  $cb->_rmdir( dir => '/some/dir' );
Removes a directory completely, even if it is non-empty.

Returns true on success, false on failure.

  $cb->_perl_version ( perl => 'some/perl/binary' );
"_perl_version" returns the version of a certain perl binary. It does this by actually running a command.

Returns the perl version on success and false on failure.

  $cb->_version_to_number( version => $version );
Returns a proper module version, or '0.0' if none was available.

  $cb->_whoami
Returns the name of the subroutine you're currently in.

  _get_file_contents( file => $file );
Returns the contents of a file

Moves a file or directory to the target.

Returns true on success, false on failure.

Returns true on success, false on failure.

  $cb->_mode_plus_w( file => '/path/to/file' );
Sets the +w bit for the file.

Returns true on success, false on failure.

  $uri = $cb->_host_to_uri( scheme => SCHEME, host => HOST, path => PATH );
Turns a CPANPLUS::Config style "host" entry into an URI string.

Returns the uri on success, and false on failure

  $cb->_vcmp( VERSION, VERSION );
Normalizes the versions passed and does a '<=>' on them, returning the result.

  $cb->_home_dir
Returns the user's homedir, or "cwd" if it could not be found

  $path = $cb->_safe_path( path => $path );
Returns a path that's safe to us on Win32 and VMS.

Only cleans up the path on Win32 if the path exists.

On VMS, it encodes dots to _ using "VMS::Filespec::vmsify"

  ($pkg, $version, $ext) = $cb->_split_package_string( package => PACKAGE_STRING );
Splits the name of a CPAN package string up into its package, version and extension parts.

For example, "Foo-Bar-1.2.tar.gz" would return the following parts:

    Package:    Foo-Bar
    Version:    1.2
    Extension:  tar.gz
