CPANPLUS::Configure - configuration for CPANPLUS
$conf = CPANPLUS::Configure->new( ); $bool = $conf->can_save; $bool = $conf->save( $where ); @opts = $conf->options( $type ); $make = $conf->get_program('make'); $verbose = $conf->set_conf( verbose => 1 );
This module deals with all the configuration issues for CPANPLUS. Users can use objects created by this module to alter the behaviour of CPANPLUS.
Please refer to the CPANPLUS::Backend documentation on how to obtain a CPANPLUS::Configure object.
CPANPLUS::Backend
CPANPLUS::Configure
This method returns a new object. Normal users will never need to invoke the new method, but instead retrieve the desired object via a method call on a CPANPLUS::Backend object.
new
Controls whether or not additional user configurations are to be loaded or not. Defaults to true.
true
Initialize the configure with other config files than just the default 'CPANPLUS::Config'.
Called from new() to load user/system configurations
new()
If the rescan option is provided, your disk will be examined again to see if there are new config files that could be read. Defaults to false.
rescan
false
Returns true on success, false on failure.
Check if we can save the configuration to the specified file. If no file is provided, defaults to your personal config.
Returns true if the file can be saved, false otherwise.
Saves the configuration to the package name you provided. If this package is not CPANPLUS::Config::System, it will be saved in your .cpanplus directory, otherwise it will be attempted to be saved in the system wide directory.
CPANPLUS::Config::System
.cpanplus
If no argument is provided, it will default to your personal config.
Returns the full path to the file if the config was saved, false otherwise.
Returns a list of all valid config options given a specific type (like for example conf of program) or false if the type does not exist
