5.7.40.1. NAME¶
Bugzilla::Install::CPAN - Routines to install Perl modules from CPAN.
5.7.40.2. SYNOPSIS¶
use Bugzilla::Install::CPAN;
set_cpan_config();
install_module('Module::Name');
5.7.40.3. DESCRIPTION¶
This is primarily used by install-module to do the “hard work” of installing CPAN modules.
5.7.40.4. SUBROUTINES¶
set_cpan_config
Sets up the configuration of CPAN for this session. Must be called before install_module. Takes one boolean parameter. If true, install_module will install modules globally instead of to the local lib/ directory. On most systems, you have to be root to do that.
install_module
Installs a module from CPAN. Takes two arguments:
$name- The name of the module, just like you’d pass to theinstallcommand in the CPAN shell.$test- If true, we run tests on this module before installing, but we still force the install if the tests fail. This is only usedwhen we internally install a newer CPAN module.
Note that calling this function prints a lot of information to STDOUT and STDERR.
