Project::Libs - Add module directories of a project into @INC automatically
# the simplest way
use Project::Libs;
# add more other dirs into @INC
use Project::Libs lib_dirs => [qw(extlib vendor)];
# add more local::lib dirs into @INC
use Project::Libs local_lib_dirs => [qw(extlib)];
# or
use Project::Libs local_lib_dirs => 'extlib';
# add more other marks locate on a project root
use Project::Libs project_root_files => [qw(README Changes)];
Project::Libs automatically adds directories that may contain modules which a project depends on.
Imagin there's such a project as below: CPAN-standard file arrangement
and using git as a SCM (modules' directory contains git submodules and that's written in .gitmodules').
|_ PROJECT_ROOT
|_ .git
|_ .gitmodules
|_ Makefile.PL
|_ lib/
|_ t/
|_ lib/
|_ compile.t
|_ basic.t
|_ script/
|_ server.pl
|_ create.pl
|_ extlib/
|_ modules/
|_ Foo
|_ lib/
|_ Bar
|_ lib/
|_ ...
You may bother writing such code as below in all the script located in t/, script/, or other to add module path into @INC.
use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib";
use lib glob "$FindBin::Bin/../modules/*/lib";
To `use Project::Libs' helps you doing that.
In this case, after loading this module, the directories below are added into @INC:
-
- lib
-
- extlib
-
- t/lib
-
- modules/Foo/lib
-
- modules/Bar/lib
