Howdy all am I thinking of this corretcly:
According to:
http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm#make_test
If I have a file called test.pl it will run that script as teste of the installation.
So if they do by hand:
perl Makefile.PL # create make file
make # use Makefile
make test # runs test.pl
make install # if I want to install
Now if they leave out make test then they are on their own.
But if I put this in test.pl and it fails then they'll
see that it failed and know not to go further, right?:
test.pl :
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
eval {
use CGI qw(:standard);
use DBI;
};
if($@) { print "Error: you are mjissing module you pansy!\n"; }
else { print "Test Ok\n"; }
So if one of those modules are not installed make test will give them my erro message.
Is that correct?
Or is there a better way to insure any modules it uses are
installed/try to install them if not/and fail if they can't be found or installed?
Either via the make dance or via CPAN ?
Documentation on this specific subject welcome also, I looked at what others pointed
me tooo but it didn't address it specifically.
TIA
Dan
