NAME

Module::Build::Prereqs::FromCPANfile - construct prereq parameters of Module::Build from cpanfile

SYNOPSIS

    use Module::Build;
    use Module::Build::Prereqs::FromCPANfile;
    
    Module::Build->new(
        ...,
        mb_prereqs_from_cpanfile()
    )->create_build_script();

DESCRIPTION

This simple module reads cpanfile and converts its content into valid prereq parameters for new() method of Module::Build.

Currently it does not support "optional features" specification (See "feature" in cpanfile).

EXPORTED FUNCTION

The following function is exported by default.

%prereq_params = mb_prereqs_from_cpanfile(%args)

Reads cpanfile, parses its content and returns corresponding %prereq_params for Module::Build.

Fields in %args are:

version => VERSION_STR (optional, default: $Module::Build::VERSION)

Version number of the target Module::Build.

If omitted, Module::Build is loaded and $Module::Build::VERSION is used.

cpanfile => FILEPATH (optional, default: "cpanfile")

File path to the cpanfile to be loaded.

If omitted, it loads "cpanfile" in the current directory.

Module::Build::Pluggable::CPANfile

Maybe this module does the same job better, but it has heavier dependency.
