NAME
    WWW::PAUSE::Simple - An API for PAUSE

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.458 of WWW::PAUSE::Simple (from Perl
    distribution WWW-PAUSE-Simple), released on 2024-02-18.

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
    This module provides several functions for performing common tasks on
    PAUSE. There is also a CLI script pause distributed separately in
    App::pause.

FUNCTIONS
  delete_files
    Usage:

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

    Delete files.

    When a file is deleted, it is not immediately deleted but has
    scheduled_for_deletion status for 72 hours, then deleted. During that
    time, the file can be undeleted.

    This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

    This function supports dry-run operation.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   files* => *array[str]*

        File names/wildcard patterns.

    *   password => *str*

        PAUSE password.

        If unset, default value will be searched from "~/.pause". Encrypted
        ".pause" is not yet supported.

    *   protect_files => *array[str]*

        Protect some files/wildcard patterns from delete/cleanup.

    *   retries => *int* (default: 5)

        Number of retries when received 5xx HTTP error from server.

        The retry uses an exponential backoff strategy of delaying 3, 6, 12,
        24, ..., 3600, 3600, ... seconds.

    *   username => *str*

        PAUSE ID.

        If unset, default value will be searched from "~/.pause". Encrypted
        ".pause" is not yet supported.

    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)

  delete_old_releases
    Usage:

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

    Delete older versions of distributions.

    Currently does not look for releases in subdirectories.

    By default does not include developer (trial) releases. To include that,
    use "--include-dev".

    To only cleanup developer releases, you can use "--include-dev" and
    "--exclude-nondev".

    This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

    This function supports dry-run operation.

    *   detail => *bool*

        Whether to return detailed records.

    *   exclude_dists => *array[str]*

        Exclude specified distributions.

    *   include_dev => *bool* (default: 0)

        Whether to include cleaning up non-dev releases.

    *   include_dists => *array[str]*

        Only include specified distributions.

    *   include_nondev => *bool* (default: 1)

        Whether to include cleaning up non-dev releases.

    *   num_keep => *int* (default: 1)

        Number of new versions (including newest) to keep.

        1 means to only keep the newest version, 2 means to keep the newest
        and the second newest, and so on.

    *   password => *str*

        PAUSE password.

        If unset, default value will be searched from "~/.pause". Encrypted

  upload_files
    Usage:

    *   delay => *duration*

        Pause a number of seconds between files.

        If you upload a lot of files (e.g. 7-10 or more) at a time, the
        PAUSE indexer currently might choke with SQLite database locking
        problem and thus fail to index your releases. Giving a delay of say
        2-3 minutes (120-180 seconds) between files will alleviate this
        problem.

    *   files* => *array[str]*

        File names/wildcard patterns.

        PAUSE password.

        ".pause" is not yet supported.

    *   retries => *int* (default: 5)

        Number of retries when received 5xx HTTP error from server.

        The retry uses an exponential backoff strategy of delaying 3, 6, 12,
        24, ..., 3600, 3600, ... seconds.

    *   subdir => *str* (default: "")

        Subdirectory to put the file(s) into.

    *   username => *str*

        PAUSE ID.

        If unset, default value will be searched from "~/.pause". Encrypted
        ".pause" is not yet supported.

    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

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.
