Constructornew
my $iconv = App::Info::Lib::Iconv->new(@params);
Returns an App::Info::Lib::Iconv object. See App::Info for a complete description of argument parameters.
When called, "new()" searches the the list of directories returned by the "search_bin_dirs()" method for
an executable file with a name returned by the "search_exe_names()" method. If the executable is found,
libiconv will be assumed to be installed. Otherwise, most of the object methods will return "undef".
Events:
info
Searching for iconv
unknown
Path to iconv executable?
confirm
Path to iconv executable?
ClassMethodkey_name
my $key_name = App::Info::Lib::Iconv->key_name;
Returns the unique key name that describes this class. The value returned is the string "libiconv".
ObjectMethodsinstalled
print "libiconv is ", ($iconv->installed ? '' : 'not '),
"installed.\n";
Returns true if libiconv is installed, and false if it is not. App::Info::Lib::Iconv determines whether
libiconv is installed based on the presence or absence of the iconv application, as found when "new()"
constructed the object. If libiconv does not appear to be installed, then most of the other object
methods will return empty values.
name
my $name = $iconv->name;
Returns the name of the application. In this case, "name()" simply returns the string "libiconv".
version
my $version = $iconv->version;
Returns the full version number for libiconv. App::Info::Lib::Iconv attempts to parse the version number
from the iconv.h file, if it exists.
Events:
info
Searching for 'iconv.h'
Searching for include directory
error
Cannot find include directory
Cannot find 'iconv.h'
Cannot parse version number from file 'iconv.h'
unknown
Enter a valid libiconv include directory
Enter a valid libiconv version number
major_version
my $major_version = $iconv->major_version;
Returns the libiconv major version number. App::Info::Lib::Iconv attempts to parse the version number
from the iconv.h file, if it exists. For example, if "version()" returns "1.7", then this method returns
"1".
Events:
info
Searching for 'iconv.h'
Searching for include directory
error
Cannot find include directory
Cannot find 'iconv.h'
Cannot parse version number from file 'iconv.h'
unknown
Enter a valid libiconv include directory
Enter a valid libiconv version number
minor_version
my $minor_version = $iconv->minor_version;
Returns the libiconv minor version number. App::Info::Lib::Iconv attempts to parse the version number
from the iconv.h file, if it exists. For example, if "version()" returns "1.7", then this method returns
"7".
Events:
info
Searching for 'iconv.h'
Searching for include directory
error
Cannot find include directory
Cannot find 'iconv.h'
Cannot parse version number from file 'iconv.h'
unknown
Enter a valid libiconv include directory
Enter a valid libiconv version number
patch_version
my $patch_version = $iconv->patch_version;
Since libiconv has no patch number in its version number, this method will always return false.
executable
my $executable = $iconv->executable;
Returns the path to the Iconv executable, which will be defined by one of the names returned by
"search_exe_names()". The executable is searched for in "new()", so there are no events for this method.
bin_dir
my $bin_dir = $iconv->bin_dir;
Returns the path of the directory in which the iconv application was found when the object was
constructed by "new()".
Events:
info
Searching for bin directory
error
Cannot find bin directory
unknown
Enter a valid libiconv bin directory
inc_dir
my $inc_dir = $iconv->inc_dir;
Returns the directory path in which the file iconv.h was found. App::Info::Lib::Iconv searches for
iconv.h in the following directories:
/usr/local/include/usr/include
/sw/include
Events:
info
Searching for include directory
error
Cannot find include directory
unknown
Enter a valid libiconv include directory
lib_dir
my $lib_dir = $iconv->lib_dir;
Returns the directory path in which a libiconv library was found. The search looks for a file with a name
returned by "search_lib_names()" in a directory returned by "search_lib_dirs()".
Events:
info
Searching for library directory
error
Cannot find library directory
unknown
Enter a valid libiconv library directory
so_lib_dir
my $so_lib_dir = $iconv->so_lib_dir;
Returns the directory path in which a libiconv shared object library was found. The search looks for a
file with a name returned by "search_so_lib_names()" in a directory returned by "search_lib_dirs()".
Returns the directory path in which a libiconv shared object library was found. App::Info::Lib::Iconv
searches for these files:
<Events:>
info
Searching for shared object library directory
error
Cannot find shared object library directory
unknown
Enter a valid libiconv shared object library directory
home_url
my $home_url = $iconv->home_url;
Returns the libiconv home page URL.
download_url
my $download_url = $iconv->download_url;
Returns the libiconv download URL.
search_exe_names
my @search_exe_names = $iconv->search_exe_names;
Returns a list of possible names for the Iconv executable. By default, the only name returned is iconv
(iconv.exe on Win32).
search_bin_dirs
my @search_bin_dirs = $iconv->search_bin_dirs;
Returns a list of possible directories in which to search an executable. Used by the "new()" constructor
to find an executable to execute and collect application info. The found directory will also be returned
by the "bin_dir" method. By default, the directories returned are those in your path, followed by these:
/usr/local/bin/usr/bin/bin/sw/bin/usr/local/sbin/usr/sbin/sbin/sw/sbinsearch_lib_names
my @seach_lib_names = $self->search_lib_nams
Returns a list of possible names for library files. Used by "lib_dir()" to search for library files. By
default, the list is:

search_lib_dirs
my @search_lib_dirs = $iconv->search_lib_dirs;
Returns a list of possible directories in which to search for libraries. By default, it returns all of
the paths in the "libsdirs" and "loclibpth" attributes defined by the Perl Config module -- plus /sw/lib
(in support of all you Fink users out there).
search_inc_names
my @search_inc_names = $iconv->search_inc_names;
Returns a list of include file names to search for. Used by "inc_dir()" to search for an include file. By
