It is able to load multiple modules at once or none at all if one of them was not able to load. It also takes care of any error checking and so forth. =head1 Methods =head1 check_install C allows you to verify if a certain module is installed or not. You may call it with the following arguments: =over 4 =item module The name of the module you wish to verify -- this is a required key =item version The version this module needs to be -- this is optional =item verbose Whether or not to be verbose about what it is doing -- it will default to $Module::Load::Conditional::VERBOSE =back It will return undef if it was not able to find where the module was installed, or a hash reference with the following keys if it was able to find the file: =over 4 =item file Full path to the file that contains the module =item version The version number of the installed module - this will be C if the module had no (or unparsable) version number. =item uptodate A boolean value indicating whether or not the module was found to be at least the version you specified. If you did not specify a version, uptodate will always be true if the module was found. If no parsable version was found in the module, uptodate will also be true, since C had no way to verify clearly. =back =cut ### this checks if a certain module is installed already ### ### if it returns true, the module in question is already installed ### or we found the file, but couldn't open it, OR there was no version ### to be found in the module ### it will return 0 if the version in the module is LOWER then the one ### we are looking for, or if we couldn't find the desired module to begin with ### if the installed version is higher or equal to the one we want, it will return ### a hashref with he module name and version in it.. so 'true' as well. sub check_install { my %hash = @_; my $tmpl = { version => { default => '0.0' }, module => { required => 1 }, verbose => { default => $VERBOSE }, }; my $args; unless( $args = check( $tmpl, \%hash, $VERBOSE ) ) { warn loc( q[A problem occurred checking arguments] ) if $VERBOSE; return; } my $file = File::Spec->catfile( split /::/, $args->{module} ) .

If it can load *ALL* of them, it will. If one or more are unloadable, none will be loaded. This is particularly useful if you have More Than One Way (tm) to solve a problem in a program, and only wish to continue down a path if all modules could be loaded, and not load them if they couldn't. This function uses the C function from Module::Load under the hood. C takes the following arguments: =over 4 =item modules This is a hashref of module/version pairs. The version indicates the minimum version to load. If no version is provided, any version is assumed to be good enough. =item verbose This controls whether warnings should be printed if a module failed to load. The default is to use the value of $Module::Load::Conditional::VERBOSE. =item nocache C keeps its results in a cache, so it will not load the same module twice, nor will it attempt to load a module that has already failed to load before. By default, C will check its cache, but you can override that by setting C to true. =cut sub can_load { my %hash = @_; my $tmpl = { modules => { default => {}, strict_type => 1 }, verbose => { default => $VERBOSE }, nocache => { default => 0 }, }; my $args; unless( $args = check( $tmpl, \%hash, $VERBOSE ) ) { $ERROR = loc(q[Problem validating arguments!]); warn $ERROR if $VERBOSE; return; } ### layout of $CACHE: ### $CACHE = { ### $ module => { ### usable => BOOL, ### version => \d, ### file => /path/to/file, ### }, ### }; $CACHE ||= {}; # in case it was undef'd my $error; BLOCK: { my $href = $args->{modules}; my @load; for my $mod ( keys %$href ) { next if $CACHE->{$mod}->{usable} && !$args->{nocache}; ### else, check if the hash key is defined already, ### meaning $mod => 0, ### indicating UNSUCCESSFUL prior attempt of usage if ( !$args->{nocache} && defined $CACHE->{$mod}->{usable} && (($CACHE->{$mod}->{version}||0) >= $href->{$mod}) ) { $error = loc( q[Already tried to use '%1', which was unsuccessful], $mod); last BLOCK; } my $mod_data = check_install( module => $mod, version => $href->{$mod} ); if( !$mod_data or !defined $mod_data->{file} ) { $error = loc(q[Could not find or check module '%1'], $mod); $CACHE->{$mod}->{usable} = 0; last BLOCK; } map { $CACHE->{$mod}->{$_} = $mod_data->{$_} } qw[version file uptodate]; push @load, $mod; } for my $mod ( @load ) { if ( $CACHE->{$mod}->{uptodate} ) { eval { load $mod }; ### in case anything goes wrong, log the error, the fact ### we tried to use this module and return 0; if( $@ ) { $error = $@; $CACHE->{$mod}->{usable} = 0; last BLOCK; } else { $CACHE->{$mod}->{usable} = 1; } ### module not found in @INC, store the result in ### $CACHE and return 0 } else { $error = loc(q[Module '%1' is not uptodate!], $mod); $CACHE->{$mod}->{usable} = 0; last BLOCK; } } } # BLOCK if( defined $error ) { $ERROR = $error; Carp::carp( loc(q|%1 [THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM!]|,$error) ) if $args->{verbose}; return undef; } else { return 1; } } =head2 requires C can tell you what other modules a particular module requires. This is particularly useful when you're intending to write a module for public release and are listing its prerequisites. C takes but one argument: the name of a module. It will then first check if it can actually load this module, and return undef if it can't. Otherwise, it will return a list of modules and pragmas that would have been loaded on the module's behalf. Note: The list C returns has originated from your current perl and your current install. =cut sub requires { my $who = shift; unless( check_install( module => $who ) ) { warn loc(q[You do not have module '%1' installed], $who) if $VERBOSE; return undef; } my $lib = join " ", map { qq["-I$_"] } @INC; my $cmd = qq[$^X $lib -M$who -e"print(join(qq[\\n],keys(%INC)))"]; return sort grep { !/^$who$/ } map { chomp; s|/|::|g; $_ } grep { s|\.pm$||i; } `$cmd`; } 1; __END__ =head1 Global Variables The behaviour of Module::Load::Conditional can be altered by changing the following global variables: =head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::VERBOSE This controls whether Module::Load::Conditional will issue warnings and explanations as to why certain things may have failed. If you set it to 0, Module::Load::Conditional will not output any warnings. The default is 0; =head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::CACHE This holds the cache of the C function. If you explicitly want to remove the current cache, you can set this variable to C =head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::ERROR This holds a string of the last error that happened during a call to C. It is useful to inspect this when C returns C. =head1 See Also C =head1 AUTHOR This module by Jos Boumans Ekane@cpan.orgE. =head1 COPYRIGHT This module is copyright (c) 2002 Jos Boumans Ekane@cpan.orgE.
