6 Module::Install::Bundle - Bundle distributions along with your
7 distribution
8
10 Have your Makefile.PL read as follows:
11
12 use inc::Module::Install;
13
14 name 'Foo-Bar';
15 all_from 'lib/Foo/Bar.pm';
16 requires 'Baz' => '1.60';
17
18 # one of either:
19 bundle 'Baz' => '1.60';
20 # OR:
21 auto_bundle;
22
23 WriteAll;
24
26 Module::Install::Bundle allows you to bundle a CPAN distribution within
27 your distribution. When your end-users install your distribution, the
28 bundled distribution will be installed along with yours, unless a newer
29 version of the bundled distribution already exists on their local
30 filesystem.
31
32 While bundling will increase the size of your distribution, it has
33 several benefits:
34
35 Allows installation of bundled distributions when CPAN is unavailable
36 Allows installation of bundled distributions when networking is unavailable
37 Allows everything your distribution needs to be packaged in one place
38
39 Bundling differs from auto-installation in that when it comes time to
40 install, a bundled distribution will be installed based on the
41 distribution bundled with your distribution, whereas with auto-
42 installation the distribution to be installed will be acquired from
43 CPAN and then installed.
44
46 • auto_bundle()
47
48 Takes no arguments, will bundle every distribution specified by a
49 "requires()". When you, as a module author, do a "perl
50 Makefile.PL" the latest versions of the distributions to be bundled
51 will be acquired from CPAN and placed in inc/BUNDLES/.
52
53 • bundle($name, $version)
54
55 Takes a list of key/value pairs specifying a distribution name and
56 version number. When you, as a module author, do a perl Makefile.PL
57 the distributions that you specified with "bundle()" will be
58 acquired from CPAN and placed in inc/BUNDLES/.
59
60 • bundle_deps($name, $version)
61
62 Same as "bundle", except that all dependencies of the bundled
63 modules are also detected and bundled. To use this function, you
64 need to declare the minimum supported perl version first, like
65 this:
66
67 perl_version( '5.005' );
68
69 • auto_bundle_deps
70
71 Same as "auto_bundle", except that all dependencies of the bundled
72 modules are also detected and bundled. This function has the same
73 constraints as bundle_deps.
