Hello everyone. Here is my question: What is the preferred way to test a system for installed modules? For example, I have a Perl program I would like to distribute. It depends on a number of modules from CPAN and I would like an easy way to test for the existence of those modules. I suppose the user could always run the program and then install them whenever he gets an error about the packages not being found, but it feels like there should be a friendlier way to address that.
Is there a common way in Perl to say, “This program depends on these packages and requires them to be installed before running?” And if so, is there a common, automated way to prompt the user to install any of those missing packages? Thanks in advanced and happy holidays everyone! -- ejmr 南無妙法蓮華經 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
