CPANFILE-DUMP(1)

💅 cpanfile-dump — hey bestie, it's a manpage

Okay so this is cpanfile-dump(1), coming at you from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world, and it's literally just a little script that goes "here's your prereqs, go off" 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

cpanfile-dump — dumps the prerequisites out of a cpanfile, no cap 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

# Install typical required and recommended modules
cpan `cpanfile-dump`

# Skip configures phase
cpan `cpanfile-dump --no-configure`

# Also include develop phase and suggests type
cpan `cpanfile-dump --develop --suggests`

# Include a feature
cpan `cpanfile-dump --with-feature=sqlite`

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically this script reads the prereqs out of a cpanfile and dumps a raw list of them straight to standard output. It's giving middleman, and honestly that's the whole point — it's useful for piping them as input into another program that doesn't support reading cpanfile directly, like cpan or cpanp 👑

By default it prints the configure, build, test and runtime requirements and recommendations. The command line options let you mess with those default choices however you want — main character energy, your call 💅

This script is distributed with Module::CPANfile since version 1.0002, iykyk ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --configure, --build, --test, --runtime, --develop — specify the phase to include or exclude. Defaults to including all of them except --develop, but you can exclude some phases by slapping the --no- prefix on, like --no-configure 🫶
• --requires, --recommends, --suggests, --conflicts — specify the type to include or exclude. Defaults to including only --requires and --recommends, but you can exclude some types by using the --no- prefix, like --no-recommends 🌸

Heads up bestie: specifying --conflicts will turn off all the other types, even if you literally specified them on the command line. It's a my-way-or-the-highway situation 💀

• --with-feature, --with-all-features, --without-feature — specify features to include in the dump. Both --with-feature and --without-feature may be used more than once 👑

cpanfile-dump --with-feature=sqlite
cpanfile-dump --with-all-features --without-feature=yaml

😭 NOTES 😭

Not me telling you this for your own good, but: because cpanm supports reading cpanfile directly, instead of piping the output of this program, you're recommended to just use cpanm --installdeps . to install modules from a cpanfile. Slay, less steps 🌈
