Bundle::ToolSet - write-once ToolSet+Bundle hybrid

SYNOPSIS

Top

This module is a template to allow you to use a Bundle, which facilitates installation of a collection of modules, as a ToolSet... without maintaining two lists that may fall out of sync. As a side-effect the Bundle necessarily constitutes minimal documentation, though you're welcome to supply additional details such as tips & tricks or justification for the imposition of a pragma.

CONTENTS

Top

warnings - FATAL => all - sadistic coding practice

strict - subs vars - I want symbolic vars damnit!

diagnostics - + ick

Carp 1.02

DESCRIPTION

Top

To create your own ToolSet+Bundle, simply edit this POD and save the file under a different name. Specifically, to change what is installed/loaded, edit the CONTENTS section. You can then copy the Bundle to an arbitrary machine and use CPAN or CPANPLUS to "install" it i.e; fetch the modules specified.

OPTIONS

Top

In order to support the additional features of ToolSet, this module extends the usual syntax of CONTENTS which is usually:

  package<1> version?<2> (- comment)?<3>

It does so by prepending a phrase to the third field, or comment section of an entry to permit the specification of import options and a togglable delimiter which indicates the state of pragmas. The resulting entry structure is:

  package<1> version?<2> (-(import [+-])?<4> comment)?<3>

In addition, a restriction is imposed that no POD formatting codes be used in this section.

import, the 4th field, may currently be blank (\s*) or a list of items to import. Imagine this list is wrapped in a qw() that sees fat commas => as whitespace.

The delimiter between the import options and comment toogles whether a pragma is on or off; + is equivalent to no and - to use. This is of course only meaningful for pragmas i.e; a purely lowercase package.
