NAME
CPANPLUS::Config - configuration defaults and heuristics for CPANPLUS
SYNOPSIS
### conf object via CPANPLUS::Backend;
$cb = CPANPLUS::Backend->new;
$conf = $cb->configure_object;
### or as a standalone object
$conf = CPANPLUS::Configure->new;
### values in 'conf' section
$verbose = $conf->get_conf( 'verbose' );
$conf->set_conf( verbose => 1 );
### values in 'program' section
$editor = $conf->get_program( 'editor' );
$conf->set_program( editor => '/bin/vi' );
DESCRIPTION
This module contains defaults and heuristics for configuration information for CPANPLUS.
To change any of these values, please see the documentation in "CPANPLUS::Configure".
Below you'll find a list of configuration types and keys, and their meaning.
CONFIGURATION
Section 'conf'
hosts
An array ref containing hosts entries to be queried for packages.
An example entry would like this:
{ 'scheme' => 'ftp',
'path' => '/pub/CPAN/',
'host' => 'ftp.cpan.org'
},
allow_build_interactivity
Boolean flag to indicate whether 'perl Makefile.PL' and similar are run interactively
or not. Defaults to 'true'.
allow_unknown_prereqs
Boolean flag to indicate that unresolvable prereqs are acceptable. If "true" then
only warnings will be issued (the behaviour before 0.9114) when a module is
unresolvable from any our sources (CPAN and/or "custom_sources"). If "false" then an
unresolvable prereq will fail during the "prepare" stage of distribution installation.
Defaults to "true".
base
The directory CPANPLUS keeps all its build and state information in. Defaults to
~/.cpanplus. If File::HomeDir is available, that will be used to work out your "HOME"
directory. This may be overridden by setting the "PERL5_CPANPLUS_HOME" environment
variable, see CPANPLUS::Config::HomeEnv for more details.
buildflags
Any flags to be passed to 'perl Build.PL'. See "perldoc Module::Build" for details.
Defaults to an empty string.
cpantest
Boolean flag to indicate whether or not to mail test results of module installations
to "http://testers.cpan.org". Defaults to 'false'.
cpantest_mx
String holding an explicit mailserver to use when sending out emails for
"http://testers.cpan.org". An empty string will use your system settings. Defaults to
an empty string.
debug
Boolean flag to enable or disable extensive debuggging information. Defaults to
'false'.
dist_type
Default distribution type to use when building packages. See "cpan2dist" or
"CPANPLUS::Dist" for details. An empty string will not use any package building
software. Defaults to an empty string.
email
Email address to use for anonymous ftp access and as "from" address when sending
emails. Defaults to an "example.com" address.
enable_custom_sources
Boolean flag indicating whether custom sources should be enabled or not. See the
"CUSTOM MODULE SOURCES" in "CPANPLUS::Backend" for details on how to use them.
Defaults to "true"
extractdir
String containing the directory where fetched archives should be extracted. An empty
string will use a directory under your "base" directory. Defaults to an empty string.
fetchdir
String containing the directory where fetched archives should be stored. An empty
string will use a directory under your "base" directory. Defaults to an empty string.
flush
Boolean indicating whether build failures, cache dirs etc should be flushed after
every operation or not. Defaults to 'true'.
force
Boolean indicating whether files should be forcefully overwritten if they exist,
modules should be installed when they fail tests, etc. Defaults to 'false'.
histfile
A string containing the history filename of the CPANPLUS readline instance.
lib An array ref holding directories to be added to @INC when CPANPLUS starts up. Defaults
to an empty array reference.
makeflags
A string holding flags that will be passed to the "make" program when invoked.
Defaults to an empty string.
makemakerflags
A string holding flags that will be passed to "perl Makefile.PL" when invoked.
Defaults to an empty string.
md5 A boolean indicating whether or not sha256 checks should be done when an archive is
fetched. Defaults to 'true' if you have "Digest::SHA" installed, 'false' otherwise.
no_update
A boolean indicating whether or not "CPANPLUS"' source files should be updated or not.
Defaults to 'false'.
passive
A boolean indicating whether or not to use passive ftp connections. Defaults to
'true'.
prefer_bin
A boolean indicating whether or not to prefer command line programs over perl modules.
Defaults to 'false' unless you do not have "Compress::Zlib" installed (as that would
mean we could not extract ".tar.gz" files)
prefer_makefile
A boolean indicating whether or not prefer a "Makefile.PL" over a "Build.PL" file if
both are present. Defaults to 'true', unless the perl version is at least 5.10.1 or
appropriate versions of Module::Build and CPANPLUS::Dist::Build are available.
prereqs
A digit indicating what to do when a package you are installing has a prerequisite.
Options are:
0 Do not install
1 Install
2 Ask
3 Ignore (dangerous, install will probably fail!)
The default is to ask.
shell
A string holding the shell class you wish to start up when starting "CPANPLUS" in
interactive mode.
Defaults to "CPANPLUS::Shell::Default", the default CPANPLUS shell.
show_startup_tip
A boolean indicating whether or not to show start up tips in the interactive shell.
Defaults to 'true'.
signature
A boolean indicating whether or not check signatures if packages are signed. Defaults
to 'true' if you have "gpg" or "Crypt::OpenPGP" installed, 'false' otherwise.
skiptest
A boolean indicating whether or not to skip tests when installing modules. Defaults
to 'false'.
storable
A boolean indicating whether or not to use "Storable" to write compiled source file
information to disk. This makes for faster startup and look up times, but takes extra
diskspace. Defaults to 'true' if you have "Storable" installed and 'false' if you
don't.
timeout
Digit indicating the time before a fetch request times out (in seconds). Defaults to
300.
verbose
A boolean indicating whether or not "CPANPLUS" runs in verbose mode. Defaults to
'true' if you have the environment variable "PERL5_CPANPLUS_VERBOSE" set to true,
'false' otherwise.
It is recommended you run with verbose enabled, but it is disabled for historical
reasons.
write_install_log
A boolean indicating whether or not to write install logs after installing a module
using the interactive shell. Defaults to 'true'.
source_engine
Class to use as the source engine, which is generally a subclass of
"CPANPLUS::Internals::Source". Default to "CPANPLUS::Internals::Source::Memory".
cpantest_reporter_args
A hashref of key => value pairs that are passed to the constructor of
"Test::Reporter". If you'd want to enable TLS for example, you'd set it to:
{ transport => 'Net::SMTP::TLS',
transport_args => [ User => 'Joe', Password => '123' ],
}
Section 'program'
editor
A string holding the path to your editor of choice. Defaults to your $ENV{EDITOR},
$ENV{VISUAL}, 'vi' or 'pico' programs, in that order.
make
A string holding the path to your "make" binary. Looks for the "make" program used to
build perl or failing that, a "make" in your path.
pager
A string holding the path to your pager of choice. Defaults to your $ENV{PAGER},
'less' or 'more' programs, in that order.
shell
A string holding the path to your login shell of choice. Defaults to your $ENV{SHELL}
setting, or $ENV{COMSPEC} on Windows.
sudo
A string holding the path to your "sudo" binary if your install path requires super
user permissions. Looks for "sudo" in your path, or remains empty if you do not
require super user permissions to install.
perlwrapper
DEPRECATED
A string holding the path to the "cpanp-run-perl" utility bundled with CPANPLUS, which
is used to enable autoflushing in spawned processes.
