Module::Install::BundlUser Contributed Perl DocumentModule::Install::Bundle(3)NAMEModule::Install::Bundle - Bundle distributions along with your
distribution
SYNOPSIS
Have your Makefile.PL read as follows:
use inc::Module::Install;
name 'Foo-Bar';
all_from 'lib/Foo/Bar.pm';
requires 'Baz' => '1.60';
# one of either:
bundle 'Baz' => '1.60';
# OR:
auto_bundle;
WriteAll;
DESCRIPTIONModule::Install::Bundle allows you to bundle a CPAN distribution within
your distribution. When your end-users install your distribution, the
bundled distribution will be installed along with yours, unless a newer
version of the bundled distribution already exists on their local
filesystem.
While bundling will increase the size of your distribution, it has
several benefits:
Allows installation of bundled distributions when CPAN is unavailable
Allows installation of bundled distributions when networking is unavailable
Allows everything your distribution needs to be packaged in one place
Bundling differs from auto-installation in that when it comes time to
install, a bundled distribution will be installed based on the
distribution bundled with your distribution, whereas with auto-
installation the distibution to be installed will be acquired from CPAN
and then installed.
METHODS
· auto_bundle()
Takes no arguments, will bundle every distribution specified by a
"requires()". When you, as a module author, do a "perl
Makefile.PL" the latest versions of the distributions to be bundled
will be acquired from CPAN and placed in inc/BUNDLES/.
· bundle($name, $version)
Takes a list of key/value pairs specifying a distribution name and
version number. When you, as a module author, do a perl Makefile.PL
the distributions that you specified with "bundle()" will be
acquired from CPAN and placed in inc/BUNDLES/.
· bundle_deps($name, $version)
Same as "bundle", except that all dependencies of the bundled
modules are also detected and bundled. To use this function, you
need to declare the minimum supported perl version first, like
this:
perl_version( '5.005' );
· auto_bundle_deps
Same as "auto_bundle", except that all dependencies of the bundled
modules are also detected and bundled. This function has the same
constraints as bundle_deps.
