| Subject: | Allowing Automated CPANPLUS Tests |
Dear all,
Hi. This is imacat from Taiwan. I'm running CPAN tests. I found
that mod_perl 2 requires Makefile.PL arguments or interactive input, and
hence does not allow automated tests, like mod_perl 1.x before.
Setting Makefile.PL arguments requires setting CPANPLUS
makemakerflags configuration. When testing a module that depends on
mod_perl 2 and hence build mod_perl only to satisfy its dependency,
setting makemakerflags affects all the modules in this dependency tree
and hence is not an option. This is not only true for testing, but also
true for building and installing with CPAN or CPANPLUS.
If mod_perl Apache2::Build can implement some way to allow automatic
testing, like, for example, using environment variables MP_APXS,
MP_USE_STATIC and MP_AP_PREFIX, or like @adirs in mod_perl 1.x, it would
help a lot testing and reporting the problems.
