Module::Load::Conditional(3pm)        Perl Programmers Reference Guide        Module::Load::Conditional(3pm)



NAME
       Module::Load::Conditional - Looking up module information / loading at runtime

SYNOPSIS
           use Module::Load::Conditional qw[can_load check_install requires];


           my $use_list = {
                   CPANPLUS        => 0.05,
                   LWP             => 5.60,
                   'Test::More'    => undef,
           };

           print can_load( modules => $use_list )
                   ? 'all modules loaded successfully'
                   : 'failed to load required modules';


           my $rv = check_install( module => 'LWP', version => 5.60 )
                       or print 'LWP is not installed!';

           print 'LWP up to date' if $rv->{uptodate};
           print "LWP version is $rv->{version}\n";
           print "LWP is installed as file $rv->{file}\n";


           print "LWP requires the following modules to be installed:\n";
           print join "\n", requires('LWP');

           ### allow M::L::C to peek in your %INC rather than just
           ### scanning @INC
           $Module::Load::Conditional::CHECK_INC_HASH = 1;

           ### reset the 'can_load' cache
           undef $Module::Load::Conditional::CACHE;

           ### don't have Module::Load::Conditional issue warnings --### -###
           ### default is '1'
           $Module::Load::Conditional::VERBOSE = 0;

           ### The last error that happened during a call to 'can_load'
           my $err = $Module::Load::Conditional::ERROR;

DESCRIPTION
       Module::Load::Conditional provides simple ways to query and possibly load any of the modules you have
       installed on your system during runtime.

       It is able to load multiple modules at once or none at all if one of them was not able to load. It
       also takes care of any error checking and so forth.

Methods
   $href = check_install( module => NAME [, version => VERSION, verbose => BOOL ] );
       "check_install" allows you to verify if a certain module is installed or not. You may call it with
       the following arguments:

       module
           The name of the module you wish to verify -- this is a required key

       version
           The version this module needs to be -- this is optional

       verbose
           Whether or not to be verbose about what it is doing -- it will default to
           $Module::Load::Conditional::VERBOSE

       It will return undef if it was not able to find where the module was installed, or a hash reference
       with the following keys if it was able to find the file:

       file
           Full path to the file that contains the module

       dir Directory, or more exact the @INC entry, where the module was loaded from.

       version
           The version number of the installed module - this will be "undef" if the module had no (or
           unparsable) version number, or if the variable $Module::Load::Conditional::FIND_VERSION was set
           to true.  (See the "GLOBAL VARIABLES" section below for details)

       uptodate
           A boolean value indicating whether or not the module was found to be at least the version you
           specified. If you did not specify a version, uptodate will always be true if the module was
           found.  If no parsable version was found in the module, uptodate will also be true, since
           "check_install" had no way to verify clearly.

           See also $Module::Load::Conditional::DEPRECATED, which affects the outcome of this value.

   $bool = can_load( modules => { NAME => VERSION [,NAME => VERSION] }, [verbose => BOOL, nocache => BOOL] )
       "can_load" will take a list of modules, optionally with version numbers and determine if it is able
       to load them. If it can load *ALL* of them, it will. If one or more are unloadable, none will be
       loaded.

       This is particularly useful if you have More Than One Way (tm) to solve a problem in a program, and
       only wish to continue down a path if all modules could be loaded, and not load them if they couldn't.

       This function uses the "load" function from Module::Load under the hood.

       "can_load" takes the following arguments:

       modules
           This is a hashref of module/version pairs. The version indicates the minimum version to load. If
           no version is provided, any version is assumed to be good enough.

       verbose
           This controls whether warnings should be printed if a module failed to load.  The default is to
           use the value of $Module::Load::Conditional::VERBOSE.

       nocache
           "can_load" keeps its results in a cache, so it will not load the same module twice, nor will it
           attempt to load a module that has already failed to load before. By default, "can_load" will
           check its cache, but you can override that by setting "nocache" to true.

   @list = requires( MODULE );
       "requires" can tell you what other modules a particular module requires. This is particularly useful
       when you're intending to write a module for public release and are listing its prerequisites.

       "requires" takes but one argument: the name of a module.  It will then first check if it can actually
       load this module, and return undef if it can't.  Otherwise, it will return a list of modules and
       pragmas that would have been loaded on the module's behalf.

       Note: The list "require" returns has originated from your current perl and your current install.

Global Variables
       The behaviour of Module::Load::Conditional can be altered by changing the following global variables:

   $Module::Load::Conditional::VERBOSE
       This controls whether Module::Load::Conditional will issue warnings and explanations as to why
       certain things may have failed. If you set it to 0, Module::Load::Conditional will not output any
       warnings.  The default is 0;

   $Module::Load::Conditional::FIND_VERSION
       This controls whether Module::Load::Conditional will try to parse (and eval) the version from the
       module you're trying to load.

       If you don't wish to do this, set this variable to "false". Understand then that version comparisons
       are not possible, and Module::Load::Conditional can not tell you what module version you have
       installed.  This may be desirable from a security or performance point of view.  Note that
       $FIND_VERSION code runs safely under "taint mode".

       The default is 1;

   $Module::Load::Conditional::CHECK_INC_HASH
       This controls whether "Module::Load::Conditional" checks your %INC hash to see if a module is
       available. By default, only @INC is scanned to see if a module is physically on your filesystem, or
       available via an "@INC-hook". Setting this variable to "true" will trust any entries in %INC and
       return them for you.

       The default is 0;

   $Module::Load::Conditional::CACHE
       This holds the cache of the "can_load" function. If you explicitly want to remove the current cache,
       you can set this variable to "undef"

   $Module::Load::Conditional::ERROR
       This holds a string of the last error that happened during a call to "can_load". It is useful to
       inspect this when "can_load" returns "undef".

   $Module::Load::Conditional::DEPRECATED
       This controls whether "Module::Load::Conditional" checks if a dual-life core module has been
       deprecated. If this is set to true "check_install" will return false to "uptodate", if a dual-life
       module is found to be loaded from $Config{privlibexp}

       The default is 0;
