The argument can be a number like 12, or a string like '12.2' or the output of a Postgres command like `psql --version` or `pg_config --version`; =back =cut sub new { my $class = shift; my $arg = shift; # Accept standard formats, in case caller has handed us the output of a # postgres command line tool $arg = $1 if ($arg =~ m/\(?PostgreSQL\)? (\d+(?:\.\d+)*(?:devel)?)/); # Split into an array my @result = split(/\./, $arg); # Treat development versions as having a minor/micro version one less than # the first released version of that branch. if ($result[$#result] =~ m/^(\d+)devel$/) { pop(@result); push(@result, $1, -1); } my $res = [@result]; bless $res, $class; return $res; } # Routine which compares the _pg_version_array obtained for the two # arguments and returns -1, 0, or 1, allowing comparison between two # PostgresVersion objects or a PostgresVersion and a version string or number. # # If the second argument is not a blessed object we call the constructor # to make one. # # Because we're overloading '<=>' and 'cmp' this function supplies us with # all the comparison operators ('<' and friends, 'gt' and friends) # sub _version_cmp { my ($a, $b) = @_; $b = __PACKAGE__->new($b) unless blessed($b); for (my $idx = 0;; $idx++) { return 0 unless (defined $a->[$idx] && defined $b->[$idx]); return $a->[$idx] <=> $b->[$idx] if ($a->[$idx] <=> $b->[$idx]); } } # Render the version number in the standard "joined by dots" notation if # interpolated into a string. Put back 'devel' if we previously turned it # into a -1. sub _stringify { my $self = shift; my @sections = @$self; if ($sections[-1] == -1) { pop @sections; $sections[-1] = "$sections[-1]devel"; } return join('.', @sections); } 1;
