User Contributed Perl Documentation
NAME
Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::GoodVersion - Plugin to filter known good
versions
VERSION
version 2.80
SYNOPSIS
use alienfile;
plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => '1.2.3';
DESCRIPTION
This plugin allows you to specify one or more good versions of a
library. This doesn't affect a system install at all. This plugin
does the opposite of the "Prefer::BadVersion" plugin. You need need a
Prefer plugin that filters and sorts files first. You may specify the
filter in one of three ways:
as a string
Filter any files that match the given version.
use alienfile;
plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => '1.2.3';
as an array
Filter all files that match any of the given versions.
use alienfile;
plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => [ '1.2.3', '1.2.4' ];
as a code reference
Filter any files return a true value.
use alienfile;
plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => sub {
my($file) = @_;
$file->{version} eq '1.2.3'; # same as the string version above
};
This plugin can also be used to filter known good versions of a library
on just one platform. For example, if you know that version 1.2.3 if
good on windows, but the default logic is fine on other platforms:
use alienfile;
plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => '1.2.3' if $^O eq 'MSWin32';
PROPERTIES
filter
Filter entries that match the filter.
CAVEATS
If you are using the string or array mode, then you need an existing
Prefer plugin that sets the version number for each file candidate,
such as Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::SortVersions.
Unless you want to exclude the latest version from a share install,
this plugin isn't really that useful. It has no effect on system
installs, which may not be obvious at first.
