Module-Build-Prereq

Perl module to naïvely analyze your module dependencies and then make sure they're properly listed in your Makefile.PL.

INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

USAGE

Use in your Makefile.PL:

use Module::Build::Prereq;

my %prereq_pm = (Foo => '1.2',
                 Bar => '2.2a');

assert_modules(prereq_pm => \%prereq_pm);

WriteMakefile(CONFIGURE_REQUIRES => {
                'Module::Build::Prereq' => '0.01',
              },
              PREREQ_PM => \%prereq_pm, ...);

Use in your Build.PL:

use Module::Build::Prereq;

my %prereq_pm = (Foo => '1.2',
                 Bar => '2.2a');

assert_modules(prereq_pm => \%prereq_pm);

my $build = Module::Build->new
  (
    requires => \%prereq_pm,
  );
$build->create_build_script;

assert_modules should not be added to any Makefile.PL which is part of a publicly available module (unless you want your module users to have another needless dependency); it is meant to help a) during development of any module and b) any time you need to ensure you deploy with the correct dependencies.
