NAME
Acme::CPANModules::ModuleAutoinstallers - List of modules that autoinstalls other modules during run-time
VERSION
This document describes version 0.002 of Acme::CPANModules::ModuleAutoinstallers (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-ModuleAutoinstallers), released on 2023-10-29.
DESCRIPTION
These "module autoinstallers" modules can automatically install missing module during run-time using one of installers (usually cpanm
a.k.a. App::cpanminus). Convenient when running a Perl script (that comes without a proper distribution or cpanfile
) that uses several modules which you might not have. The alternative to lib::xi is the "trial and error" method: repeatedly run the Perl script to see which module it tries and fails to load.
They work by installing a hook in @INC
. Read more about require hooks in perlfunc
under the require
function.

FAQ
What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?
An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and document CPAN. See Acme::CPANModules for more details.
What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?
Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can install all the listed modules (entries) using cpanm-cpanmodules script (from App::cpanm::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanm-cpanmodules -n ModuleAutoinstallers
Alternatively you can use the cpanmodules CLI (from App::cpanmodules distribution):
% cpanmodules ls-entries ModuleAutoinstallers | cpanm -n
or Acme::CM::Get:
% perl -MAcme::CM::Get=ModuleAutoinstallers -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
or directly:
% perl -MAcme::CPANModules::ModuleAutoinstallers -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::ModuleAutoinstallers::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n
This Acme::CPANModules module also helps lcpan produce a more meaningful result for lcpan related-mods
command when it comes to finding related modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module. See App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods for more details on how "related modules" are found.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
