NAME
App::Prove::Dist - Prove that a Perl Module Dist is OK for CPAN
SYNOPSIS
prove-dist # make dist; unzip dist;
# test against core-only + custom-locallib
prove-dist test --perl=5.14.1 # use a specific perl
prove-dist test --perl=5.10.1 --perl=5.12.0 --perl=5.14.2
prove-dist list # list your defined dependencies
prove-dist scan # scan for your required dependencies
prove-dist make --perl=... # make a custom locallib for your dist
# and your perl. prove-dist will look
# for this lib when you test your dist
prove-dist wipe --perl=... # delete the custom locallib
prove-dist perls # list perls to test againstDESCRIPTION
When releasing a Perl module distribution, it is good to test it on a clean perl installation and on muliple versions of installed perl. Many modules have dependency modules, so a truly clean Perl won't work. You can use locallib to work around that. You'll need to set up a locallib for each version of perl, for each module you release.
App::Prove::Dist does all this for you:
cd your-dist-dir
prove-dist perls # Get a list of perls to use
prove-dist make --perl=5.14.2 # Create a custom locallib for a perl
prove-dist perls # List now shows locallib
prove-dist test --perl=5.14.2 # Prove against clean perl + new locallibprove-dist will use lib-core-only and your custom locallib to prove your t/ tests, so you can be more certain it will pass cpantesters.
STATUS
THIS IS A ROUGH DRAFT AND PROOF OF CONCEPT RELEASE! DON'T USE IT YET!
Currently:
* Only likes Unix
* Only likes perlbrew
* Many hardcoded assumptions
* Scan not implemented
* Not fully configurable
* Will probably push your grandmother down the stairsSuggestions and patches welcome!
