As part of our project to refactor ExtUtils::ParseXS, I am in the
process of building functionality to identify CPAN distributions that
contain .xs files and to run 'perl Makefile.PL && make' (or their
Module::Build equivalents) on those distributions.
At this point in development, I only want to concern myself with
distributions where Makefile.PL completes successfully and without user
input. I want the process of running the program to be as automated as
possible; I don't want to have to respond to STDIN prompts during the
course of a particular distribution's Makefile.PL. In fact, I would
like to treat distributions that prompt me for input as equivalent to
exiting with non-zero exit codes.
Example: If I am working with CPAN distribution 'Authen-Krb5-Admin',
this happens:
[Authen-Krb5-Admin-0.11] 547 $ perl Makefile.PL
checking for Kerberos 5 prefix ... /usr
checking for libk5crypto ... not found (using libcrypto)
Authenticate as user/instan...@realm] for testing [jimk/admin]:
I don't want to do anything further with this distribution because at
this point I want to exclude it from the list of distributions I'm going
to use in my real project. I want to treat it as if 'perl Makefile.PL'
exited with a non-zero value.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thank you very much.
Jim Keenan
