NAME
       CPANPLUS::Internals::Source

SYNOPSIS
           ### lazy load author/module trees ###

           $cb->_author_tree;
           $cb->_module_tree;

DESCRIPTION
       CPANPLUS::Internals::Source controls the updating of source files and the parsing of them into usable
       module/author trees to be used by "CPANPLUS".

       Functions exist to check if source files are still "good to use" as well as update them, and then
       parse them.

       The flow looks like this:

           $cb->_author_tree || $cb->_module_tree
               $cb->_check_trees
                   $cb->__check_uptodate
                       $cb->_update_source
                   $cb->__update_custom_module_sources
                       $cb->__update_custom_module_source
               $cb->_build_trees
                   $cb->__create_author_tree
                       $cb->__retrieve_source
                   $cb->__create_module_tree
                       $cb->__retrieve_source
                       $cb->__create_dslip_tree
                           $cb->__retrieve_source
                   $cb->__create_custom_module_entries
                   $cb->_save_source

           $cb->_dslip_defs

METHODS
       $cb->_check_trees( [update_source => BOOL, path => PATH, verbose => BOOL] )

       Retrieve source files and return a boolean indicating whether or not the source files are up to date.

       Takes several arguments:

       update_source
           A flag to force re-fetching of the source files, even if they are still up to date.

       path
           The absolute path to the directory holding the source files.

       verbose
           A boolean flag indicating whether or not to be verbose.

       Will get information from the config file by default.

       $cb->__check_uptodate( file => $file, name => $name, [update_source => BOOL, verbose => BOOL] )

       "__check_uptodate" checks if a given source file is still up-to-date and if not, or when

       file
           The source file to check.

       name

       update_source
           Flag to force updating of sourcefiles regardless.

       verbose
           Boolean to indicate whether to be verbose or not.
