NAME

Perinci::Access::Lite - A lightweight Riap client library

VERSION

This document describes version 0.03 of Perinci::Access::Lite (from Perl distribution Perinci-Access-Lite), released on 2014-09-21.

DESCRIPTION

This module is a lightweight alternative to Perinci::Access. It has less prerequisites but does fewer things. The things it supports:

• Local (in-process) access to Perl modules and functions

  Currently only call, meta, and list actions are implemented. Variables and other entities are not yet supported.

  The list action only gathers keys from %SPEC and do not yet list subpackages.

• HTTP/HTTPS

• HTTP over Unix socket

Differences with Perinci::Access:

• For network access, uses HTTP::Tiny module family instead of LWP

  This results in fewer dependencies.

• No wrapping, no argument checking

  For 'pl' or schemeless URL, no wrapping (Perinci::Sub::Wrapper) is done, only normalization (using Perinci::Sub::Normalize).

• No transaction or logging support

• No support for some schemes

  This includes: Riap::Simple over pipe/TCP socket.

METHODS

new => obj

$pa->request($action, $url, $extra) => hash
