\&\f(CW\*(C`TeXLive::TLPDB\->new\*(C'\fR creates a new \f(CW\*(C`TLPDB\*(C'\fR object. If the
argument \f(CW\*(C`location\*(C'\fR is given it will be initialized from this
location.  \f(CW$filename\fR is usually \f(CW\*(C`/path/to/texlive.tlpdb\*(C'\fR.  If
\&\f(CW$filename\fR begins with \f(CW\*(C`http://\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`ftp://\*(C'\fR, the program \f(CW\*(C`wget\*(C'\fR

.ie n .IP """$tlpdb\->from_file($filename)""" 6

The \f(CW\*(C`from_file\*(C'\fR function initializes the \f(CW\*(C`TLPDB\*(C'\fR in case the
location was not given at generation time.  If \f(CW$filename\fR begins
with \f(CW\*(C`http://\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`ftp://\*(C'\fR, the program \f(CW\*(C`wget\*(C'\fR is used to download

The \f(CW\*(C`writeout\*(C'\fR function writes the database to \f(CW\*(C`STDOUT\*(C'\fR, or 
the file handle given as argument.
.ie n .IP """$tlpdb\->save""" 6
.el .IP "\f(CW$tlpdb\->save\fR" 6
.IX Item "$tlpdb->save"
The \f(CW\*(C`save\*(C'\fR functions saves the \f(CW\*(C`TLPDB\*(C'\fR to the file which has been set
as location. If the location is undefined, die.
.ie n .IP """$tlpdb\->available_architectures""" 6
.el .IP "\f(CW$tlpdb\->available_architectures\fR" 6
.IX Item "$tlpdb->available_architectures"
The \f(CW\*(C`available_architectures\*(C'\fR functions returns the list of available 
architectures by checking for binfiles in the \*(L"bin\-tex\*(R" \s-1TLPOBJ\s0. If this
package does not exist, die.

.el .IP "\f(CW$tlpdb\->get_package(``packagename'')\fR" 6
.IX Item "$tlpdb->get_package(""packagename"")"
The \f(CW\*(C`get_package\*(C'\fR function returns a reference to a \f(CW\*(C`TLPOBJ\*(C'\fR object
in case its name the the argument name coincide.
.ie n .IP """$tlpdb\->list_packages""" 6
.el .IP "\f(CW$tlpdb\->list_packages\fR" 6
.IX Item "$tlpdb->list_packages"
The \f(CW\*(C`list_packages\*(C'\fR function returns the list of all included packages.

package named in the first argument.
.ie n .IP """$tlpdb\->generate_packagelist""" 6
.el .IP "\f(CW$tlpdb\->generate_packagelist\fR" 6
.IX Item "$tlpdb->generate_packagelist"

with their revisions.

.PD
The \f(CW\*(C`generate_listfiles\*(C'\fR generates the list files for the old 
installers. This function will probably go away.
.ie n .IP """$tlpdb\->location(""/path/to/texlive.tlpdb"")""" 6
.el .IP "\f(CW$tlpdb\->location(``/path/to/texlive.tlpdb'')\fR" 6
.IX Item "$tlpdb->location(""/path/to/texlive.tlpdb"")"
The function \f(CW\*(C`location\*(C'\fR allows to read and set the location of the
text file of the TeX Live database, by default named \f(CW\*(C`texlive.tlpdb\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .IP """$tlpdb\->listdir""" 6
.el .IP "\f(CW$tlpdb\->listdir\fR" 6
