=head1 REQUIREMENTS

Perl 5.24 or later and the modules List::SomeUtils, Path::Tiny, and
Sort::Versions, available from CPAN.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module collects utility functions used by other App::DocKnot modules.  It
is not really intended for use outside of DocKnot, but these functions can be
used if desired.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=item is_newer(FILE, SOURCE[, SOURCE ...])

Returns a true value if FILE exists and has a last modified time that is newer
or equal to the last modified times of all SOURCE files, and otherwise returns
a false value.  Used primarily to determine if a given output file is
up-to-date with respect to its source files.  All paths must be Path::Tiny
objects.

=item latest_tarball(PATH, NAME)

Returns data including a file list for the latest tarballs (by version number)
for a given software package NAME in the directory PATH (which must be a
Path::Tiny object).  Versions are compared using Sort::Versions.  The return
valid is a hash with the following keys:

=over 4

=item files

The list of files found for that version.

=item version

The version number extracted from this set of files.

=back

=item print_checked(ARG[, ARG ...])

The same as print (without a file handle argument), except that it throws a
text exception on failure as if autodie affected print (which it unfortunately
doesn't because print cannot be prototyped).

=item print_fh(FH, NAME, DATA[, DATA ...])

Writes the concatenation of the DATA elements (interpreted as scalar strings)
to the file handle FH.  NAME should be the name of (or Path::Tiny object for)
the file open as FH, and is used for error reporting.

This is mostly equivalent to C<print {fh}> but throws a text exception in the
event of a failure.
