  15. So what's P4Perl about? In a nutshell P4Perl is the product name for a 
  16. Perl module that allows you to execute Perforce commands without leaving Perl 
  17. space and to get the results in Perl Arrays and Hashes. The module's name is
  18. 'P4', whilst 'P4Perl' is the product name. 
  19. </p>
  20. <strong>
  21.     <p>
  22.       Note: In March 2008, P4Perl was adopted as a supported Perforce 
  23.       product. The version here, in the Perforce Public depot is deprecated,
  24.       and will not be maintained further.

  37. <a href="mailto:wsnyder@wsnyder.org">Wilson Synder</a> has written 
  38. <a href="http://search.cpan.org/search?module=P4::C4">P4-C4</a> a 
  39. Perl Based CVS frontend for Perforce which is summarised thus:
  40.  
  41. <p>
  42. "P4::C4 provides additional Perl functions on top of the Perl API, such as
  43. option parsing and difference detection.  P4-C4 also provides a replacement
  44. c4 program similar to the C version written by Neil Russel, but with
  45. additional fixes and features.  C4 provides a workspace client where every
  46. file is writable, and can be modified on an ad-hoc basis, and performs P4
  47. edit and revert commands as needed to maintain that view.  C4 sets the
  48. client specification such that a file specification alone is enough to find
  49. the client spec, no more needing to chdir to the proper place first."

#26 5388 Tony Smith Release P4Perl 3.5313 as the latest stable build 19 years ago
#25 5329 Tony Smith Correct description on web page.
P4Perl requires a 2004.2 OR LATER
API build, it's not r...estricted to just 2004.2 «		 19 years ago
#24 4935 Tony Smith Fix typo from previous change 20 years ago
#23 4934 Tony Smith Release P4Perl 3.4804 as a stable build.
This is the last build
before I reworked the re...turn value from P4::Errors() and
P4::Warnings(), so it's useful to have around for applications
that use the old method. «		 20 years ago
#22 4660 Tony Smith Some doc tidying. 20 years ago
#21 4645 Tony Smith Rework P4Perl web page a little.
Now places more emphasis on using
the stable build - so... people won't use the new 3.x version by
accident - and includes some docs on the use of the correct API
build. «		 20 years ago
#20 4579 Tony Smith Rewrite P4Perl to be more like P4Ruby.
This change does away
with the old P4/P4::Client... split and pulls all the functionality
of P4::Client into P4. Hence P4::Client is now deprecated.

There are a few gotcha's - see the Changes file, and documentation
for the details, but in general it's backwards compatible.

As part of this change, I'm also releasing the previous current
 versions of P4 and P4::Client as released versions - for posterity.
P4 now gets a v3.x version number so the old versions will stand out
clearly.

Hopefully it's all working - works fine for me - but people should
consider this a beta build, for now at least. «		 20 years ago

#16 2672 Tony Smith First phase of reshuffle to support Perl 5.6 and Perl 5.8 installers.
