Bugzilla::Install::CPAN

NAME

Bugzilla::Install::CPAN - Routines to install Perl modules from CPAN.

SYNOPSIS

 use Bugzilla::Install::CPAN;

 set_cpan_config();
 install_module('Module::Name');

DESCRIPTION

This is primarily used by install-module to do the "hard work" of installing CPAN modules.

SUBROUTINES

set_cpan_config

Sets up the configuration of CPAN for this session. Must be called before "install_module". Takes one boolean parameter. If true, "install_module" will install modules globally instead of to the local lib/ directory. On most systems, you have to be root to do that.

install_module

Installs a module from CPAN. Takes two arguments:

$name - The name of the module, just like you'd pass to the install command in the CPAN shell.

$test - If true, we run tests on this module before installing, but we still force the install if the tests fail. This is only used when we internally install a newer CPAN module.

Note that calling this function prints a lot of information to STDOUT and STDERR.
