ExtUtils::AutoInstall - Automatic install of dependencies via CPAN

=head1 VERSION

This document describes version 0.42 of B<ExtUtils::AutoInstall>,
released October 18, 2002.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

In F<Makefile.PL>:

    # ExtUtils::AutoInstall Bootstrap Code, version 4.
    BEGIN{my$p='ExtUtils::AutoInstall';my$v=.30;eval"use $p $v;1"or
    ($ENV{PERL_EXTUTILS_AUTOINSTALL}!~/--(?:default|skip|testonly)/

    "use $p $v;1"or die"Please install $p $v manually first...\n"}}

    # pre-install handler; takes $module_name and $version
    sub MY::preinstall  { return 1; }	# return false to skip install
    # post-install handler; takes $module_name, $version, and $success
    sub MY::postinstall { ... }

    # the above handlers must be declared before the 'use' statement
    use ExtUtils::AutoInstall (
	-version	=> '0.40',	# required AutoInstall version
	                                # usually 0.30 is sufficient
	-config		=> {
	    make_args	=> '--hello'	# option(s) for CPAN::Config 
	    force	=> 1,		# pseudo-option to force install
	},
	-core		=> [		# core modules; may also be 'all'
	    Package0	=> '',		# any version would do
	],
	'Feature1'	=> [
	    # do we want to install this feature by default?
	    -default	=> ( system('feature1 --version') == 0 ),
	    Package1	=> '0.01',
	],
	'Feature2'	=> [
	    # associate tests to be disabled if this feature is missing
	    -tests	=> [ <t/feature2*.t> ],
	    # associate tests to be disabled if this feature is present
	    -skiptests	=> [ <t/nofeature2*.t> ],
	    Package2	=> '0.02',
	],
	'Feature3'	=> {		# hash reference works, too
	    # force installation even if tests fail
	    Package3	=> '0.03',
	}
    );

    WriteMakefile(
	AUTHOR          => 'Joe Hacker (joe@hacker.org)',
	ABSTRACT        => 'Perl Interface to Joe Hacker',
	NAME            => 'Joe::Hacker',
	VERSION_FROM    => 'Hacker.pm',
	DISTNAME        => 'Joe-Hacker',
    );

Invoking the resulting F<Makefile.PL>:

    % perl Makefile.PL			# interactive behaviour
    % perl Makefile.PL --defaultdeps	# accept default value on prompts
    % perl Makefile.PL --checkdeps	# check only, no Makefile produced
    % perl Makefile.PL --skipdeps	# ignores all dependencies
    % perl Makefile.PL --testonly	# don't write installation targets

Note that the trailing 'deps' of arguments may be omitted, too.

Using F<make> (or F<nmake>):

    % make [all|test|install]		# install dependencies first
    % make checkdeps			# same as the --checkdeps above
    % make installdeps			# install dependencies only

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<ExtUtils::AutoInstall> lets module writers to specify a more
sophisticated form of dependency information than the C<PREREQ_PM>
option offered by B<ExtUtils::MakeMaker>.

=head2 Prerequisites and Features

Prerequisites are grouped into B<features>, and the user could choose
yes/no on each one's dependencies; the module writer may also supply a
boolean value via C<-default> to specify the default choice.

The B<Core Features> marked by the name C<-core> will double-check with
the user, if the user chooses not to install the modules that belongs to
it.  This differs with the pre-0.26 'silent install' behaviour.

Starting from version 0.27, if C<-core> is set to the string C<all>
(case-insensitive), every features will be considered mandatory.

The dependencies are expressed as pairs of C<Module> => C<version>
inside an a array reference.  If the order does not matter, and there
are no C<-default>, C<-tests> or C<-skiptests> directives for that
feature, you may also use a hash reference.

=head2 The Installation Process

Once B<ExtUtils::AutoInstall> has determined which module(s) are needed,
it checks whether it's running under the B<CPAN> shell and should
therefore let B<CPAN> handle the dependency.

Finally, the C<WriteMakefile()> is overridden to perform some additional
checks, as well as skips tests associated with disabled features by the
C<-tests> option.

The actual installation happens at the end of the C<make config> target;
both C<make test> and C<make install> will trigger the installation of
required modules.

If it's not running under B<CPAN>, the installer will probe for an
active connection by trying to resolve the domain C<cpan.org>, and check
for the user's permission to use B<CPAN>.  If all went well, a separate
    B<CPAN> instance is created to install the required modules.

If you have the B<CPANPLUS> package installed in your system, it is
preferred by default over B<CPAN>; it also accepts some extra options
(e.g. C<-target =E<gt> 'skiptest', -skiptest =E<gt> 1> to skip testing).

All modules scheduled to install will be deleted from C<%INC> first, so
B<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> will check the newly installed modules.

Additionally, you could use the C<make installdeps> target to install
the modules, and the C<make checkdeps> target to check dependencies
without actually installing them; the C<perl Makefile.PL --checkdeps>
command has an equivalent effect.

=head2 User-Defined Hooks

Starting from version 0.40, user-defined I<pre-installation> and
I<post-installation> hooks are available via C<MY::preinstall> and
C<MY::postinstall> subroutines.

Note that since B<ExtUtils::AutoInstall> performs installation at the
time of C<use> (i.e. before perl parses the remainder of
F<Makefile.PL>), you have to declare those two handlers I<before> the
C<use> statement for them to take effect.

If the user did not choose to install a module or it already exists on
the system, neither handlers are invoked.  Both handlers are invoked
exactly once for each module's attempted installation.

C<MY::preinstall> takes two arguments, C<$module_name> and C<$version>;
if it returns a false value, installation for that module will be
    skipped, and C<MY::postinstall> won't be called at all.

C<MY::postinstall> takes three arguments, C<$module_name>, C<$version>
and C<$success>.  The last one denotes whether the installation
succeeded or not: C<1> means installation completed successfully, C<0>
means failure during install, and C<undef> means that the installation
was not attempted at all, possibly due to connection problems, or that
module does not exist on CPAN at all.

=head1 CAVEATS

B<ExtUtils::AutoInstall> will add C<UNINST=1> to your B<make install>
flags if your effective uid is 0 (root), unless you explicitly disable
it by setting B<CPAN>'s C<make_install_arg> configuration option (or the
C<makeflags> option of B<CPANPLUS>) to include C<UNINST=0>.  This I<may>
cause dependency problems if you are using a fine-tuned directory
structure for your site.  Please consult L<CPAN/FAQ> for an explanation
in detail.

If either B<version> or B<Sort::Versions> is available, they will be
used to compare the required version with the existing module's version
and the CPAN module's.  Otherwise it silently falls back to use I<cmp>.
This may cause inconsistent behaviours in pathetic situations.

B<Inline::MakeMaker> is not happy with this module, since it prohibits
competing C<MY::postamble> functions.  Patches welcome.

=head1 NOTES

Since this module is needed before writing F<Makefile>, it makes little
use as a CPAN module; hence each distribution must include it in full.
The only alternative I'm aware of, namely prompting in F<Makefile.PL> to
force user install it (cf. the B<Template Toolkit>'s dependency on
B<AppConfig>) is not very desirable either.

The current compromise is to add the bootstrap code listed in the
L</SYNOPSIS> before every script, but that does not look pretty, and
will not work without an internet connection.

Since we do not want all future options of B<ExtUtils::AutoInstall> to
be painfully detected manually like above, this module provides a
I<bootstrapping> mechanism via the C<-version> flag.  If a newer version
is needed by the F<Makefile.PL>, it will go ahead to fetch a new
version, reload it into memory, and pass the arguments forward.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know.  Thanks.

=head1 ENVIRONMENT

B<ExtUtils::AutoInstall> uses a single environment variable,
C<PERL_EXTUTILS_AUTOINSTALL>.  It is taken as the command line argument
passed to F<Makefile.PL>; you could set it to either C<--defaultdeps> or
C<--skipdeps> to avoid interactive behaviour.

=head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The test script included in the B<ExtUtils::AutoInstall> distribution
contains code adapted from Michael Schwern's B<Test::More> under the
I<Artistic License>.  Please refer to F<t/AutoInstall.t> for details.

Thanks also to Jesse Vincent for suggesting the semantics of various
F<make> targets, and Jos IBoumans for introducing me to his B<CPANPLUS>
project.

Eric Andreychek contributed to the C<-force> pseudo-option feature;
Brian Ingerson suggested the non-intrusive handling of C<-core> and
bootstrap installations, and let the user have total control.

Bryan Dumm suggested the pre-/post-install handler features which
makes up the 0.40 release.

Rocco Caputo made me write compatibility code for F<cpansmoke> and
other non-tty STDIN type installations.  Matt Cashner suggested the
C<-skiptest> semantic and caught a subtle bug involving C<require>
instead of C<use> of AutoInstall.  Chia-Liang Kao spotted the
incompatibility between the use of C<$0> and CPANPLUS's C<eval()>
munging.  Thanks!
