Using C<--defaultdeps> will make F behave similarly to a regular Makefile.PL file with C dependencies. One can use environment variables (see "ENVIRONMENT") below to set a default behavior instead of specifying it in the command line for every invocation of F. Using F (or F): % make [all|test|install] # install dependencies first % make checkdeps # same as the --checkdeps above % make installdeps # install dependencies only =head1 DESCRIPTION B lets module writers to specify a more sophisticated form of dependency information than the C option offered by B. This module works best with the B framework, a drop-in replacement for MakeMaker. However, this module also supports F files based on MakeMaker; see L for instructions. =head2 Prerequisites and Features Prerequisites are grouped into B, and the user could choose yes/no on each one's dependencies; the module writer may also supply a boolean value via C<-default> to specify the default choice. The B marked by the name C<-core> will double-check with the user, if the user chooses not to install the mandatory modules. This differs from the pre-0.26 'silent install' behaviour. Starting from version 0.27, if C<-core> is set to the string C (case-insensitive), every feature will be considered mandatory. The dependencies are expressed as pairs of C => C inside an array reference. If the order does not matter, and there are no C<-default>, C<-tests> or C<-skiptests> directives for that feature, you may also use a hash reference. =head2 The Installation Process Once B has determined which module(s) are needed, it checks whether it's running under the B shell and should therefore let B handle the dependency. Finally, the C is overridden to perform some additional checks, as well as skips tests associated with disabled features by the C<-tests> option. The actual installation happens at the end of the C target; both C and C will trigger the installation of required modules. If it's not running under B, the installer will probe for an active connection by trying to resolve the domain C, and check for the user's permission to use B. If all went well, a separate B instance is created to install the required modules. If you have the B package installed in your system, it is preferred by default over B; it also accepts some extra options (e.g. C<-target =E 'skiptest', -skiptest =E 1> to skip testing). All modules scheduled to be installed will be deleted from C<%INC> first, so B will check the newly installed modules. Additionally, you could use the C target to install the modules, and the C target to check dependencies without actually installing them; the C command has an equivalent effect. If the F itself needs to use an independent module (e.g. B, v1.21 or greater), then use something like below: BEGIN { require Module::AutoInstall; # the first argument is an arrayref of the -config flags Module::AutoInstall->install([], 'Acme::KillerApp' => 1.21); } use Acme::KillerApp 1.21; Module::AutoInstall->import( # ... arguments as usual ... ); Note the version test in the use clause; if you are so close to the cutting edge that B 1.20 is the latest version on CPAN, this will prevent your module from going awry. =head2 User-Defined Hooks User-defined I and I hooks are available via C and C subroutines, as shown below: # pre-install handler; takes $module_name and $version sub MY::preinstall { return 1; } # return false to skip install # post-install handler; takes $module_name, $version, $success sub MY::postinstall { return; } # the return value doesn't matter Note that since B performs installation at the time of C (i.e. before perl parses the remainder of F), you have to declare those two handlers I the C statement for them to take effect. If the user did not choose to install a module or it already exists on the system, neither of the handlers is invoked. Both handlers are invoked exactly once for each module when installation is attempted. C takes two arguments, C<$module_name> and C<$version>; if it returns a false value, installation for that module will be skipped, and C won't be called at all. C takes three arguments, C<$module_name>, C<$version> and C<$success>. The last one denotes whether the installation succeeded or not: C<1> means installation completed successfully, C<0> means failure during install, and C means that the installation was not attempted at all, possibly due to connection problems, or that module does not exist on CPAN at all. =head2 Customized C Starting from version 0.43, B supports modules that require a C subroutine in their F. The user-defined C, if present, is responsible for calling C and include the output in its return value. For example, the B (database driver) modules for the Perl DBI are required to include the postamble generated by the function C, so their F may contain lines like this: sub MY::postamble { return &Module::AutoInstall::postamble . &dbd_postamble; } Note that the B module does not export the C function, so the name should always be fully qualified. =head1 CAVEATS B will add C to your B flags if your effective uid is 0 (root), unless you explicitly disable it by setting B's C configuration option (or the C option of B) to include C. This I cause dependency problems if you are using a fine-tuned directory structure for your site. Please consult L for an explanation in detail. If either B or B is available, they will be used to compare the required version with the existing module's version and the CPAN module's. Otherwise it silently falls back to use I. This may cause inconsistent behaviours in pathetic situations. =head1 ENVIRONMENT B uses a single environment variable, C. It is taken as the command line argument passed to F; you could set it to either C<--defaultdeps> or C<--skipdeps> to avoid interactive behaviour. It also read from the C environment variable if C is not defined. =head1 SEE ALSO L L, L, L, L, L =head1 AUTHORS Audrey Tang Eautrijus@autrijus.orgE Adam Kennedy Ecpan@ali.asE =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 by Audrey Tang Some parts copyright 2006 Adam Kennedy This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
