NAME

Module::Build::Prereqs::FromCPANfile - construct prereq parameters of Module::Build from cpanfile

SYNOPSIS

    use Module::Build;
    use Module::Build::Prereqs::FromCPANfile;
    
    Module::Build->new(
        ...,
        mb_prereqs_from_cpanfile()
    )->create_build_script();

DESCRIPTION

This simple module reads cpanfile and converts its content into valid prereq parameters for new() method of Module::Build.

Currently it does not support "optional features" specification (See "feature" in cpanfile).

EXPORTED FUNCTION

The following function is exported by default.

%prereq_params = mb_prereqs_from_cpanfile(%args)

Reads cpanfile, parses its content and returns corresponding %prereq_params for Module::Build.

Fields in %args are:

"version" => VERSION_STR (optional, default: $Module::Build::VERSION)
Version number of the target Module::Build.

If omitted, Module::Build is loaded and $Module::Build::VERSION is used.

"cpanfile" => FILEPATH (optional, default: "cpanfile")
File path to the cpanfile to be loaded.

If omitted, it loads "cpanfile" in the current directory.

SEE ALSO

Maybe this module does the same job better, but it has heavier dependency.
