NAME

Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::GoodVersion - Plugin to filter known good versions

VERSION

version 1.44_01

SYNOPSIS

use alienfile;
plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => '1.2.3';

DESCRIPTION

This plugin allows you to specify one ore more good versions of a library. This plugin does the opposite of the Prefer::BadVersion plugin. You need need a Prefer plugin that filters and sorts files first. You may specify the filter in one of three ways:

as a string

Filter any files that match the given version.

use alienfile;
plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => '1.2.3';
as a array

Filter all files that match any of the given versions.

use alienfile;
plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => [ '1.2.3', '1.2.4' ];
as a code reference

Filter any files return a true value.

use alienfile;
plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => sub {
  my($file) = @_;
  $file->{version} eq '1.2.3'; # same as the string version above
};

This plugin can also be used to filter known good versions of a library on just one platform. For example, if you know that version 1.2.3 if good on windows, but the default logic is fine on other platforms:

use alienfile;
plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => '1.2.3' if $^O eq 'MSWin32';

PROPERTIES

filter

Filter entries that match the filter.

CAVEATS

If you are using the string or array mode, then you need an existing Prefer plugin that sets the version number for each file candidate, such as Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::SortVersions.
