✨ NAME ✨

mymeta-cpanfile — bestie, this lil icon dumps a cpanfile straight out of your (MY)META files 💖 (and yeah, the manual page you're reading is MYMETA-CPANFILE(1p), from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the internet 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

perl Makefile.PL # or Build.PL
mymeta-cpanfile

# Skip configures phase and suggests type
mymeta-cpanfile --no-configure --no-suggests

# Include empty blcok for phases without prereqs
mymeta-cpanfile --include-empty

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea ☕ this script reads the prereqs metadata out of your MYMETA files in the current directory, and then prints a cpanfile that represents all those prereqs. literally that simple, and it ate 🔥

it's giving migration era — super useful when you wanna move over to using cpanfile from your existing Makefile.PL or Build.PL that already has its dependency specification all filled in. no cap, it just does it for you 💁‍♀️

this script is distributed with Module::CPANfile since version 0.9021 — yes bestie, 0.9021, write that down 📝

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --configure, --build, --test, --runtime, --develop — these pick which phase you wanna include/exclude 👑 by default every single phase is included, but you can drop some by slapping a --no- prefix on them, like --no-configure. bye phase 🚪
  • --requires, --recommends, --suggests, --conflicts — same vibe but for the type 🎀 defaults to including all types, and you exclude some by going --no- again, like --no-conflicts. yes ma'am, --no- is the move 💅
  • --include-empty — so by default, phases that have zero prereqs just don't get dumped (ghosted 💀). but if you hand over this option, your cpanfile will have an empty block like this:
on test => sub {

};

defaults to false. periodt ✨
