Mr. Keroes has come up with a lovely little device that neatly handles the problem of configuring module tests.
Module::TestConfig is for this sort of thing: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tornado-ConnectionHandler-0.02_06]$ perl Makefile.PL Where would you like to install the authScript.pl binary? [/usr/local/news/bin] Database server: [news.somewhere.com] Database name: [news] Database user: [news] Database password: [foobilybar] Module::TestConfig saved bin/AuthConfig.pm with these settings: ============================================= | Name | Value | ============================================= | target | /usr/local/news/bin | | server | news.somewhere.com| | name | news | | user | news | | passwd | ***** | +--------+----------------------------------+ Writing Makefile for Tornado::ConnectionHandler Since PAUSE is down it hasn't been uploaded to CPAN yet.
