NAME

CPAN::Plugin::Specfile - Proof of concept implementation of a trivial CPAN::Plugin

SYNOPSIS

  # once in the cpan shell
  o conf plugin_list push CPAN::Plugin::Specfile
  # make permanent
  o conf commit
  # any time in the cpan shell to write a spec file
  test Acme::Meta
  # disable
  o conf plugin_list pop

DESCRIPTION

Implemented as a post-test hook, this plugin writes a specfile after every successful test run. The content is also written to the terminal.

As a side effect, the timestamps of the written specfiles reflect the linear order of all dependencies.

WARNING: This code is just a small demo how to use the plugin system of the CPAN shell, not a full fledged spec file writer. Do not expect new features in this plugin.

OPTIONS

The target directory to store the spec files in can be set using dir as in

  o conf plugin_list push CPAN::Plugin::Specfile=dir,/tmp/specfiles-000042

The default directory for this is the plugins/CPAN::Plugin::Specfile directory in the cpan_home directory.
