```

## OPTIONS

### Required:

- **--config\_out** points to where to create the stored Flickr config file

  ## DESCRIPTION

This script is a lightweight method to assemble the required arguments for using the Flickr::API. It can be used to assemble the configuration(s) needed for the **make test** portion of installation. It does not *use Flickr::API;* and sticks to modules from perl core so that it can be used prior to-- and perhaps in conjunction with-- installation and testing of the Flickr::API module.

When you **make test**, add the environment variable MAKETEST\_OAUTH\_CFG, MAKETEST\_FLICKR\_CFG or both; each pointing to the configuration file you specified. The command should look something like:

```
  make test MAKETEST_OAUTH_CFG=/home/myusername/test-flickr-oauth.cfg
```

or

```
  make test MAKETEST_FLICKR_CFG=/home/myusername/test-flickrs-auth.cfg
```

or

```
  make test MAKETEST_FLICKR_CFG=/home/myusername/test-flickrs-auth.cfg \
          MAKETEST_OAUTH_CFG=/home/myusername/test-flickr-oauth.cfg
```
