# cpanfile-dump(1p)

Dump prerequisites from a cpanfile

## NAME

cpanfile-dump - Dump prerequisites from a cpanfile

## SYNOPSIS

```
  # Install typical required and recommended modules
  cpan `cpanfile-dump`
  # Skip configures phase
  cpan `cpanfile-dump --no-configure`
  # Also include develop phase and suggests type
  cpan `cpanfile-dump --develop --suggests`
  # Include a feature
  cpan `cpanfile-dump --with-feature=sqlite`
```

## DESCRIPTION

This script reads prereqs from a *cpanfile* and dumps a raw list of them to standard output.  This is useful for piping these as input to another program that doesn't support reading cpanfile directly, i.e. `"cpan"` or `"cpanp"`.

By default, it prints configure, build, test and runtime requirements and recommendations.  Command line options can be used to modify the default choices.

This script is distributed with Module::CPANfile since version 1.0002.

## OPTIONS

- \--configure, --build, --test, --runtime, --develop

  Specify the phase to include/exclude. Defaults to include all but `"--develop"` but you can exclude some phases by specifying the options with `"--no-"` prefix, like `"--no-configure"`.

- \--requires, --recommends, --suggests, --conflicts

  Specify the type to include/exclude. Defaults to include only `"--requires"` and `"--recommends"` but you can exclude some types by specifying the options with `"--no-"` prefix, like `"--no-recommends"`.

  Specifying `"--conflicts"` will turn off all other types (even if specified on the command line).

- \--with-feature, --with-all-features, --without-feature

  ```
      cpanfile-dump --with-feature=sqlite
      cpanfile-dump --with-all-features --without-feature=yaml
  ```

  Specify features to include in the dump.  `"--with-feature"` and `"--without-feature"` may be used more than once.

## NOTES

Because `"cpanm"` supports reading cpanfile directly, instead of piping the output of this program, you're recommended to use `"cpanm --installdeps ."` to install modules from cpanfile.
