SYNOPSIS
# Makefile.PL
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker::CPANfile;
WriteMakefile(
NAME => 'Foo::Bar',
AUTHOR => 'A.U.Thor <[email protected]>',
);
# cpanfile
requires 'ExtUtils::MakeMaker' => '6.17';
on test => sub {
requires 'Test::More' => '0.88';
};
DESCRIPTION
ExtUtils::MakeMaker::CPANfile loads "cpanfile" in your distribution and modifies parameters for "WriteMakefile" in your Makefile.PL. Just use it instead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker (which should be loaded internally), and prepare "cpanfile".As of version 0.03, ExtUtils::MakeMaker::CPANfile also removes WriteMakefile parameters that the installed version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker doesn't know, to avoid warnings.
LIMITATION
complex version ranges
As of this writing, complex version ranges are simply ignored.dynamic config
Strictly speaking, "cpanfile" is a Perl script, and may have some conditions in it. That said, you don't need to run Makefile.PL to determine prerequisites in most cases. Hence, as of 0.06, ExtUtils::MakeMaker::CPANfile sets "dynamic_config" to false by default. If you do need a CPAN installer to run Makefile.PL to customize prerequisites dynamically, set "dynamic_config" to true explicitly (via META_ADD/META_MERGE).FOR MODULE AUTHORS
Though the minimum version requirement of ExtUtils::MakeMaker is arbitrary set to 6.17 (the one bundled in Perl 5.8.1), you need at least EUMM 6.52 (with CONFIGURE_REQUIRES support) when you release a distribution.LICENSE
