NAME

Module::Install::AssertOS - A Module::Install extension to require that we are running on a particular OS

SYNOPSIS

  # In Makefile.PL

  use inc::Module::Install;
  assertos qw(Linux FreeBSD Cygwin);

The Makefile.PL will die unless the platform the code is running on is Linux, FreeBSD or Cygwin.

DESCRIPTION

Module::Install::AssertOS is a Module::Install extension that integrates Devel::AssertOS so that CPAN authors may easily stipulate which particular OS environments their distributions may be built and installed on.

The author specifies which OS or OS families are supported. The necessary Devel::AssertOS files are copied to the inc/ directory along with the Module::Install files.

On the module user side, the bundled inc/ Devel::AssertOS determines whether the current environment is supported or not and will die accordingly.

COMMANDS

This plugin adds the following Module::Install command:

assertos

Requires a list of OS or OS families that you wish to support. Check with Devel::CheckOS and Devel::CheckOS::Families for more details of what you may specify.
