✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, so this is CPAN::Reporter::PrereqCheck — a lil modulino (yes that's a real word, it's a module + a script having a lil identity crisis 💅) that does prerequisite tests. And btw the manual name for this whole page is CPAN::...eqCheck(3pm) and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, iykyk. 🫶

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 1.2020

like. she's a specific girl. periodt. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

require CPAN::Reporter::PrereqCheck;
my $prereq_check = $INC{'CPAN/Reporter/PrereqCheck.pm'};
my $result = qx/$perl $prereq_check < $prereq_file/;

literally that's it, that's the whole vibe check 🔥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way this modulino works is: it figures out whether a list of prerequisite modules are available and, if they are, what their version number is. no cap.

and here's the important part — it's designed to be run as a script, so it reports all this stuff from the perspective of a subprocess. exactly like how CPAN::Reporter invokes perl Makefile.PL and so on. main character subprocess energy, honestly. 👑

It reads a module name and prerequisite string pair from each line of input 📥 and then prints out:

  • the module name
  • 0 or 1 depending on whether the prerequisite is satisfied
  • the installed module version

and the edge cases? bestie, she handles them:

  • if the module is not available, it prints n/a for the version 🚫
  • if the module is available but can't be loaded, it prints broken for the version 💀
  • modules without a version get treated as being of version 0
🚨 No user serviceable parts are inside. This modulino is packaged for internal use by CPAN::Reporter. Don't be out here poking around, she's not for you like that. 🙈
