NAME
Acme::CPANModules::CheckingModuleInstalledLoadable - Checking if a
module is installed or loadable
VERSION
This document describes version 0.001 of
Acme::CPANModules::CheckingModuleInstalledLoadable (from Perl
distribution Acme-CPANModules-CheckingModuleInstalledLoadable), released
on 2019-01-09.
DESCRIPTION
Checking if a module is installed or loadable.
If you simply want to check that a module's ".pm" file is locatable in
@INC, you can just do something like:
my $mod = "Foo/Bar.pm";
for my $dir (@INC) {
next if ref $dir;
if (-f "$dir/$mod") {
print "Module $mod is installed";
last;
}
}
Or you can use something like Module::Path or Module::Path::More which
does similar to the above.
A module can also be loaded from a require hook in ~@INC~ (like in the
case of fatpacked or datapacked script) and the above methods does not
handle it. Instead, you'll need to use Module::Load::Conditional's
"check_install" or Module::Installed::Tiny's "module_installed":
use Module::Load::Conditional qw(check_install);
if (check_install(module => "Foo::Bar")) {
# Foo::Bar is installed
}
The above does not guarantee that the module will be loaded
successfully. To check that, there's no other way but to actually try to
load it:
if (eval { require Foo::Bar; 1 }) {
# Foo::Bar can be loaded (and was loaded!)
}
