NAME
ArrayData - Specification for ArrayData::*, modules that contains array
data
SPECIFICATION VERSION
0.2
VERSION
This document describes version 0.2.0 of ArrayData (from Perl
distribution ArrayData), released on 2021-04-20.
SYNOPSIS
Use one of the "ArrayData::*" modules.
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: EARLY SPECIFICATION; THINGS WILL STILL CHANGE A LOT.
"ArrayData::*" modules are modules that contain array data. The array
can be accessed via a standard interface (see
ArrayDataRole::Spec::Basic). Some examples of array data are:
* list of country names in English (ArrayData::CountryNames::EN)
* list of Indonesian words from KBBI
dictionary (ArrayData::Words::ID::KBBI)
Also under WordList::ID::KBBI.
* list of CPAN authors' PAUSE ID's (ArrayData::CPAN::PAUSEIDs)
Also under WordList::CPAN::PAUSEID.
Why put data in a Perl module, as a Perl distribution? To leverage the
Perl/CPAN toolchain and infrastructure: 1) ease of installation, update,
and uninstallation; 2) allowing dependency expression and version
comparison; 3) ease of packaging further as OS packages, e.g. Debian
packages (converted from Perl distribution); 4) testing by CPAN Testers.
The array data can actually be stored as Perl array in the Perl module
source code, or as lines in the DATA section of the Perl module, or in a
shared file of the distribution.
To get started, see ArrayDataRole::Spec::Basic and one of existing
"ArrayData::*" modules.
