User Contributed Perl Documentation Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::GoodVersion(3) NAME Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::GoodVersion - Plugin to filter known good versions VERSION version 1.89 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 a 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.
