NAME
Module::CPANTS::Kwalitee::NeedsCompiler - Checks if the module needs a (probably C) compiler
SYNOPSIS
Checks if there is some indication in the module that it needs a C compiler to build and install
DESCRIPTION
Methods
order
Defines the order in which Kwalitee tests should be run.
Returns 200.
analyse
Checks for file with .c, .h or .xs extensions. Check is the module depends on any of the Inline:: modules or on ExtUtils::CBuilder or ExtUtils::ParseXS.
TODO:
How to recognize cases such as http://search.cpan.org/dist/Perl-API/ and http://search.cpan.org/dist/Term-Size-Perl that generate the .c files during installation
In addition there are modules that can work without their XS part. E.g. Scalar-List-Utils, Net-DNS, Template-Toolkit For our purposes these all should be marked as "need C compiler" as they need it for their full functionality and speed.
kwalitee_indicators
No Kwalitee Indicator.
