Code like this solved a similar problem for me:
sub ACTION_test {
my $self = shift;
my $ok = $self->SUPER::ACTION_test;
if ($ok) {
$ok = do { ... my code to run *additional* tests ... };
}
return $ok;
}
But perhaps that that is not applicable in your case?
Yes, my case assumes a complete override. An example is here in an old
version of Alien::SVN.
http://search.cpan.org/src/MSCHWERN/Alien-SVN-1.4.5.2/inc/My/SVN/Builder.pm
Notice that ACTION_test() is a complete override to call the bundled
subversion tests and it fails to run depends_on('code'). ACTION_install() is
more like your code above in that it only adds to the behavior, not replaces it.
Otherwise, I think your depends hash is a fine solution.
Thanks.
