Acme::CPANModules::PERLANCAR::Task::CheckingModuleInstalledLoadable - Checking if a module is installed or loadable
This document describes version 0.001 of Acme::CPANModules::PERLANCAR::Task::CheckingModuleInstalledLoadable (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModulesBundle-PERLANCAR), released on 2018-01-09.
Checking if a module is installed or loadable.
If you simply want to check that a module's .pm file is locatable in @INC, you can just do something like:
.pm
@INC
my $mod = "Foo/Bar.pm"; for my $dir (@INC) { next if ref $dir; if (-f "$dir/$mod") { print "Module $mod is installed"; last; } }
Or you can use something like Module::Path or Module::Path::More which does similar to the above.
A module can also be loaded from a require hook in ~@INC~ (like in the case of fatpacked or datapacked script) and the above methods does not handle it. Instead, you'll need to use Module::Load::Conditional's check_install or Module::Installed::Tiny's module_installed:
check_install
module_installed
use Module::Load::Conditional qw(check_install); if (check_install(module => "Foo::Bar")) { # Foo::Bar is installed }
The above does not guarantee that the module will be loaded successfully. To check that, there's no other way but to actually try to load it:
if (eval { require Foo::Bar; 1 }) { # Foo::Bar can be loaded (and was loaded!) }
Module::Path
Module::Path::More
Module::Load::Conditional
Module::Installed::Tiny
