NAME

MiniPAN - A minimalistic installer of CPAN modules for the iPhone

VERSION

Version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

        use MiniPAN;

        my $module = MiniPAN->new('Some::Module');
        $module->fetch();
        my @deps = $module->config();
        $module->install();

METHODS

new

        my $module = MiniPAN->new('Some::Module');

Creates a new MiniPAN object, takes the module name as a single argument.

fetch

        $module->fetch();

Fetches and extracts the module source from CPAN mirror.

config

        my @deps = $module->config();

Runs the configure script (currently only modules with Makefile.PL and Build.PL supported) and returns dependencies as an array.

install

        $module->install();

Compiles (if needed) and installs the module with sudo, so you need to have sudo installed.

BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-minipan at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=MiniPAN. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

TODO

  • (!) implement a much nicer way of recursive dependency installation

  • use Term::ANSIColor

  • refetch module list if it is older than a certain period

  • more verbosity via flag
