NAME Acme::CPANModules::LoadingModules - List of modules to load other Perl modules VERSION This document describes version 0.001 of Acme::CPANModules::LoadingModules (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-LoadingModules), released on 2023-11-20. DESCRIPTION Basics Module::Load is basically just a thin wrapper over Perl's builtin require() to translate between module name and path name, since the traditional behavior of require() is to expect module name in bareword form but path name in string form. This confusion will likely be fixed in future perl versions. For example, see PPC 0006 [1]. [1] Installing modules automatically on demand Since Perl provides require hooks, one can trap the module loading process and check for an uninstalled module and attempt to install it automatically on demand when a code wants to load that module. Probably not suitable for use in production. See separate list: Acme::CPANModule::ModuleAutoinstallers. Loading module on demand Aside from require hook, Perl also provides the AUTOLOAD mechanism (see "perlsub" documentation for more details). This lets you catch unknown function being called and lets you attempt to load a module that might provide that function. It is not exactly "loading modules on demand" but close enough for a lot of cases. See separate list: Acme::CPANModule::ModuleAutoloaders. Loading multiple modules at once all requires all packages under a namespace. It will search the filesystem for installed module source files under a specified namespace and load them all. lib::require::all loads all modules in a directory. Logging module loading Require::HookChain::log::logger Require::HookChain::log::stderr Preventing loading certain modules lib::filter, lib::disallow Require hook frameworks These frameworks let you create require hook more easily.

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details. What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module? Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanm-cpanmodules -n LoadingModules Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution): % cpanmodules ls-entries LoadingModules | cpanm -n or Acme::CM::Get: % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=LoadingModules -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n or directly: % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::LoadingModules -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::LoadingModules::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for "lcpan related-mods" command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2023 by perlancar .
