Module:...:Include(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Module:...:Include(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation ✨ — this is all about Module::Install::Admin::Include, the include methods for Module::Install 💅. highkey useful, no cap.

---

💅 auto_include_dependent_dists 💅

so like, auto_include_dependent_dists literally grabs everything in this module's build_requires and attempts to include everything (at the whole distribution level) recursively. it's giving recursive icon energy 🔥.

💖 include_dependent_dists $package 💖

you give it a module package name, $package, and it recursively includes every package that module needs. periodt. 💖

🦋 include_one_dist $module 🦋

okay so you hand it a module name, $module, and it figures out which modules are in the dist containing that module and copies all those files to ./inc. obsessed with the copy-paste realness 💅.

I bet there's a way to harness smarter logic from PAR 🙈.

also, given a module name, it returns the file on CPAN containing its latest version 👑.

and it takes the output of CPAN::Module->cpan_file and return all the modules that CPAN.pm knows are in that dist.

There's probably a better way using CPANPLUS 💀.

xoxo, your gen z unix bestie 💖 — this page is from perl v5.42.0, dated 2023-04-29, and it's the Module:...:Include(3) page. slay! 🎀
