- new( LOCAL_FILE_NAME )
-
Create a new CPAN::Mirrors object from LOCAL_FILE_NAME. This file
should look like that in http://www.cpan.org/MIRRORED.BY .
- continents()
-
Return a list of continents based on those defined in MIRRORED.BY.
- countries( [CONTINENTS] )
-
Return a list of countries based on those defined in MIRRORED.BY.
It only returns countries for the continents you specify (as defined
in
continents). If you don't specify any continents, it returns all
of the countries listed in MIRRORED.BY.
- mirrors( [COUNTRIES] )
-
Return a list of mirrors based on those defined in MIRRORED.BY.
It only returns mirrors for the countries you specify (as defined
in
countries). If you don't specify any countries, it returns all
of the mirrors listed in MIRRORED.BY.
- get_mirrors_by_countries( [COUNTRIES] )
-
A more sensible synonym for mirrors.
- get_mirrors_by_continents( [CONTINENTS] )
-
Return a list of mirrors for all of continents you specify. If you don't
specify any continents, it returns all of the mirrors.
You can specify a single continent or an array reference of continents.
- get_countries_by_continents( [CONTINENTS] )
-
A more sensible synonym for countries.
- default_mirror
-
Returns the default mirror, http://www.cpan.org/ . This mirror uses
dynamic DNS to give a close mirror.
- best_mirrors
-
best_mirrors checks for the best mirrors based on the list of
continents you pass, or, without that, all continents, as defined
by CPAN::Mirrored::By. It pings each mirror, up to the value of
how_many. In list context, it returns up to how_many mirror.
In scalar context, it returns the single best mirror.
Arguments
how_many - the number of mirrors to return. Default: 1
callback - a callback for find_best_continents
verbose - true or false on all the whining and moaning. Default: false
continents - an array ref of the continents to check
If you don't specify the continents, best_mirrors calls
find_best_continents to get the list of continents to check.
If you don't have the Net::Ping manpage v2.13 or later, needed for timings,
this returns the default mirror.
- get_n_random_mirrors_by_continents( N, [CONTINENTS] )
-
Returns up to N random mirrors for the specified continents. Specify the
continents as an array reference.
- get_mirrors_timings( MIRROR_LIST, SEEN, CALLBACK );
-
Pings the listed mirrors and returns a list of mirrors sorted in
ascending ping times.
MIRROR_LIST is an anonymous array of CPAN::Mirrored::By objects to
ping.
The optional argument SEEN is a hash reference used to track the
mirrors you've already pinged.
The optional argument CALLBACK is a subroutine reference to call
after each ping. It gets the CPAN::Mirrored::By object after each
ping.
- find_best_continents( HASH_REF );
-
find_best_continents goes through each continent and pings N
random mirrors on that continent. It then orders the continents by
ascending median ping time. In list context, it returns the ordered list
of continent. In scalar context, it returns the same list as an
anonymous array.
Arguments:
n - the number of hosts to ping for each continent. Default: 3
seen - a hashref of cached hostname ping times
verbose - true or false for noisy or quiet. Default: false
callback - a subroutine to run after each ping.
ping_cache_limit - how long, in seconds, to reuse previous ping times.
Default: 1 day
The seen hash has hostnames as keys and anonymous arrays as values.
The anonymous array is a triplet of a CPAN::Mirrored::By object, a
ping time, and the epoch time for the measurement.
The callback subroutine gets the CPAN::Mirrored::By object, the ping
time, and measurement time (the same things in the seen hashref) as
arguments. find_best_continents doesn't care what the callback does
and ignores the return value.
With a low value for N, a single mirror might skew the results enough
to choose a worse continent. If you have that problem, try a larger
value.
