Description Paul Howarth 2026-09-06 15:44:24 UTC
Spec URL: https://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/perl-Params-SomeUtil/perl-Params-SomeUtil.spec

SRPM URL: https://www.city-fan.org/~paul/extras/perl-Params-SomeUtil/perl-Params-SomeUtil-1.09-1.fc46.src.rpm

Description:
Params::SomeUtil provides a basic set of importable functions that makes
checking parameters much easier. This module is a fork of version 1.07 of
Params::Util with some additional bug fixes.

While they can be (and are) used in other contexts, the main point behind this
module is that the functions both Do What You Mean, and Do The Right Thing, so
they are most useful when you are getting params passed into your code from
someone and/or somewhere else and you can't really trust the quality.  Thus,
Params::SomeUtil is of most use at the edges of your API, where params and data
are coming in from outside your code.

The functions provided by Params::SomeUtil check in the most strictly correct
manner known, are documented as thoroughly as possible so their exact behavior
is clear, and heavily tested so make sure they are not fooled by weird data and
Really Bad Things.

This is a fork of Params::Util since that module's upstream seems to be reluctant to release any updates. Params::SomeUtil is a new dependency of perl-Data-OptList.

rpmlint reports that the FSF address is out of date in the LICENSE file. I have reported this upstream at https://github.com/uperl/Params-SomeUtil/issues/7

Reproducible: Always

Comment 17 Paul Howarth 2026-09-12 12:10:51 UTC
Thanks for the review Petr.

I set the Test::More version requirement to 0.88 because some of the tests use done_testing, which was introduced in that version (well, 0.87_01).
