DPKG::Parse::Status - Parse the "status" file
use DPKG::Parse::Status; my $status = DPKG::Parse::Status->new; while (my $entry = $status->next_package) { print $entry->package . " " . $entry->version . "\n"; } my $postfix = $status->get_package('name' => 'postfix'); my $postfix = $status->get_installed('name' => 'postfix');
DPKG::Parse::Status parses a dpkg "status" file and turns each entry into a DPKG::Parse::Entry object. By default, it uses the Debian default location of "/var/lib/dpkg/status".
See DPKG::Parse for more information on the get_package and next_package methods.
See DPKG::Parse::Entry for more information on the entry objects.
Creates a new DPKG::Parse::Status object. By default, it tries to open /var/lib/dpkg/status.
Calls DPKG::Parse::parse, and populates the "installed" accessor with a hash of packages whose "status" is "install ok installed".
Returns a DPKG::Parse::Entry object for the given package, or undef if it's not found.
