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; chomp $arg; # Accept standard formats, in case caller has handed us the output of a # postgres command line tool my $devel; ($arg, $devel) = ($1, $2) if ( $arg =~ m!^ # beginning of line (?:\(?PostgreSQL\)?\s)? # ignore PostgreSQL marker (\d+(?:\.\d+)*) # version number, dotted notation (devel|(?:alpha|beta|rc)\d+)? # dev marker - see version_stamp.pl !x); # Split into an array my @numbers = split(/\./, $arg); # Treat development versions as having a minor/micro version one less than # the first released version of that branch. push @numbers, -1 if ($devel); $devel ||= ""; return bless { str => "$arg$devel", num => \@numbers }, $class; } # Routine which compares the _pg_version_array obtained for the two # arguments and returns -1, 0, or 1, allowing comparison between two # PostgresVersion objects or a PostgresVersion and a version string or number. # # If the second argument is not a blessed object we call the constructor # to make one. # # Because we're overloading '<=>' and 'cmp' this function supplies us with # all the comparison operators ('<' and friends, 'gt' and friends) # sub _version_cmp { my ($a, $b, $swapped) = @_; $b = __PACKAGE__->new($b) unless blessed($b); ($a, $b) = ($b, $a) if $swapped; my ($an, $bn) = ($a->{num}, $b->{num}); for (my $idx = 0;; $idx++) { return 0 unless (defined $an->[$idx] && defined $bn->[$idx]); return $an->[$idx] <=> $bn->[$idx] if ($an->[$idx] <=> $bn->[$idx]); } } # Render the version number using the saved string. sub _stringify { my $self = shift; return $self->{str}; } 1;
