NAME
pkgsrc::Dewey - Perl extension for comparing pkgsrc Dewey version numbers

SYNOPSIS
        use pkgsrc::Dewey;
        dewey_cmp(lhs, op, rhs);
        dewey_match(pattern, package);

DESCRIPTION
"pkgsrc::Dewey" is a Perl extension for comparing pkgsrc Dewey version numbers. It provides two functions: dewey_cmp() and dewey_match().

"dewey_cmp(lhs, op, rhs)" compares two pkgsrc Dewey version numbers. Both "lhs" and "rhs" should be version numbers (not containing any package names). If the operator "op" is invalid, "dewey_cmp" returns -1. Otherwise it returns 1 if the comparison is true and 0 if not.

"dewey_match(pattern, package)" compares the "pattern" against the "package", and returns 1 if the "package" matches the "pattern" and 0 if not. Both the "pattern" and the "package" should contain a package name.

  EXPORT
dewey_cmp(), dewey_match()
