The Perl module Run::Parts
offers the functionality of Debian's run-parts tool in Perl.
Run::Parts runs all the executable files named within constraints
described in run-parts(8) and Run::Parts::Perl, found in the given
directory. Other files and directories are silently ignored.
Additionally it can just print the names of the all matching files (not limited to executables, but ignores blacklisted files like e.g. backup files), but don't actually run them.
This is useful when functionality or configuration is split over multiple files in one directory. A typical convention is that the directory name ends in ".d". Common examples for such splitted configuration directories:
/etc/cron.d/
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/,
/etc/aptitude-robot/pkglist.d/
/etc/logrotate.d/
/etc/rsyslog.d/
use Run::Parts;
my $rp = Run::Parts->new('directory'); # chooses backend automatically
my $rpp = Run::Parts->new('directory', 'perl'); # pure perl backend
my $rpd = Run::Parts->new('directory', 'debian'); # uses /bin/run-parts
my @file_list = $rp->list;
my @executables_list = $rpp->test;
my $commands_output = $rpd->run;
...Run::Parts contains two backend implementations.
Run::Parts::Debian actually uses /bin/run-parts and
Run::Parts::Perl is a pure Perl implementation of a basic set of
run-parts' functionality.
Run::Parts::Debian may or may not work with RedHat's simplified
shell-script based reimplementation of Debian's run-parts.
By default Run::Parts uses Run::Parts::Debian if /bin/run-parts
exists, Run::Parts::Perl otherwise. But you can also choose any of
the backends explicitly.
