25 <!-- note for editors:
26 When testing the dependencies for a new/updated module, it is possible
27 to build the dependencies in a directory, then do DESTDIR installs.
28 For packages using Module::Build, supply \-\-destdir= (lower case!)
29 AFTER the command. Repeat as necessary. At any one time, ALL deps for
30 the module being tested need to be in the same DESTDIR - it may be
31 convenient to copy the contents, e.g.
32 cp -av MODULEA/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.xx.y/* BATCH1/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.xx.y/
33
34 And then to use these deps (plus what is already installed),
35 export PERL5LIB=/ab/path/to/BATCH1/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.xx.y
36
37 Please be aware that not all non-core prerequisite deps are necessarily
38 needed. If 'use Foo::Bar' appears in one of the main files in lib/ or blib/
39 it is assumed to be needed. But if it only gets used in tests (t/) then
40 please try without it to see if the tests can still pass. -->
41
42 <para>
43 The <application>Perl</application> module packages (also referred to as
44 Distributions, because each can contain multiple modules) add useful
45 objects to the <application>Perl</application> language. The packages
46 listed on this page are required or recommended for other packages in
47 the book. If they have dependent modules, those are either on this page
48 or else on the next page (<xref linkend="perl-deps"/>).
49 </para>
50
51 <para>
52 In many cases, only the required or recommended dependencies are listed -
53 there might be other modules which allow more tests to be run, but
54 omitting them will still allow the tests to <literal>PASS</literal>.
55 </para>
56
57 <para>
58 For a few modules, the BLFS editors have determined that other modules
59 still listed as prerequisites are not required, and omitted them.
60 </para>
61
62 <para>
63 Where an alphabetically-earlier dependency of the same module pulls in a
64 dependency, it is not mentioned for the later dependencies of the same
65 module. You should build the listed dependencies in order.
66 </para>
67
68 <para>
69 It is generally worth running the tests for perl modules, they often
70 can show problems such as missing dependencies which are required to
71 use the module. Here, the editors have attempted to separate those
72 dependencies which are only required for running testsuites, but they
73 will not be mentioned for a module where one of its dependencies uses
74 that module for its own testsuite. That is to say, if you intend to
75 run the testsuites, please run them for each dependency of the module.
76 </para>
77
78 <para>
79 It is possible to automatically install the current versions of a module
80 and <emphasis>all</emphasis> missing or too-old dependencies
81 <emphasis>recommended by upstream</emphasis> using CPAN. See
82 <xref linkend="perl-alternatives"/> at the end of this page.
83 </para>
84
85 <para>
86 Most of these modules only install files below <filename
87 class="directory">/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.xx.y</filename> and those will
88 not be documented. One or two install programs (mostly, perl scripts), or
89 a library, into <filename class="directory">/usr/bin/</filename> or
90 <filename class="directory">/usr/lib/</filename> and these
91 <emphasis>are</emphasis> documented.
