charsbar / acme-cpanauthors Goto Github PK

I'm looking for a better way to do what I'm doing here:
https://github.com/karenetheridge/Acme-CPANAuthors-Nonhuman/blob/master/lib/Acme/CPANAuthors/Nonhuman.pm#L75

...since Acme::CPANAuthors->new only takes a category name (or list of names), not a list of authors.

Ideally, it should take (and save) the category name as well, so later on in code we can access the author object by name, but if it only creates a single object, that we need to pass around to not lose data, that would be ok too.

I don't think Acme::CPANAuthors::new can handle this itself, as it already accepts a list -- so a new method is needed, or perhaps a new Acme::CPANAuthors::Factory class?

(Also, it would be useful for the object returned by Acme::CPANAuthors->new to know what category/categories it contained, but that would require moving the ids/names hash one level deeper, so we can include additional keys as well. That shouldn't break anything though, as there are already method accessors for all the data.)

This Changes file entry Indicates that Gravatar::URL was added to recommended prereqs. It was added to the cpanfile (here), but the META file (generated by ExtUtils::MakeMaker::CPANfile) ignores the recommended, which resulted in Gravatar::URL not declared anywhere in the actual META file.
