| Subject: | [PATCH] Adding support for dependencies specified in Makefile.PL |
I noticed that there were a number of modules whose distributions do not
have a META.yml file. I created a module that provides a function for
extracting the PREREQ_PM lines from most Makefiles generated by the
ExtUtils::MakeMaker module.
There are limitations. In particular, the libwww-perl-5808 distribution
fails because the Makefile.PL expects certain files and makes external
calls which cause the eval to fail. One might be able to work around
this by falling back to a simple text scan of the Makefile.PL rather
than evaling Makefile.PL into memory (utilizing overridden functions
from ExtUtil-MakeMaker). I chose the more complicated method because I
expected many authors might generate the PREREQ_PM parameter of the
writeMakefile() call from elsewhere in the Makefile.PL.
I've also made efforts to update the tests, only if superficially.
