NAME

Perl::Dist::WiX::Asset::Module - Module asset for a Win32 Perl

VERSION

This document describes Perl::Dist::WiX::Asset::Module version 1.500.

SYNOPSIS

  my $distribution = Perl::Dist::WiX::Asset::Module->new(
    parent           => $dist,
    name             => 'DBI',
        force            => 0,
        assume_installed => 0,
  );
  
  $distribution->install();

DESCRIPTION

This asset installs a module from CPAN.

METHODS

This class is a Perl::Dist::WiX::Role::Asset and shares its API.

new

The new constructor takes a series of parameters, validates then and returns a new Perl::Dist::WiX::Asset::Module object, or throws an exception on error.

It inherits all the parameters described in the Perl::Dist::WiX::Role::Asset->new() method documentation, and adds some additional parameters.

name

The required name param is the name of the module to be installed.

force

The optional boolean force param allows you to specify that the tests should be skipped and the module installed without validating its installation.

This can be set to true when there are test bugs that cause failing tests, or where true testing would be too difficult (for example, when a database connection is required.)

This defaults to the force() attribute of the Perl::Dist::WiX parent object.

packlist

This tells the install() routine whether it has a packlist that can be found once the module is installed or not.

This parameter defaults to true.

assume_installed

Some distributions (Bio::Perl, for example) do not include their version numbers in such a way that CPAN can tell whether they are up to date after installation via the CPAN::Module->uptodate() call.

This parameter, when set to 1, tells Perl::Dist::WiX to skip that verification step.

feature

Specifies which feature the module is supposed to go in.

install

The install method installs the module described by the Perl::Dist::WiX::Asset::Module object and returns the files that were installed as a File::List::Object object.

SUPPORT

Bugs should be reported via the CPAN bug tracker at
