=head1 VERSION

This document describes version 0.004 of Acme::CPANModules::ModuleAutoinstallers (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-ModuleAutoinstallers), released on 2024-08-29.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

These "module autoinstallers" modules can automatically install missing module
during run-time using one of installers (usually C<cpanm> a.k.a.
L<App::cpanminus>). Convenient when running a Perl script (that comes without
a proper distribution or C<cpanfile>) that uses several modules which you might
not have. The alternative to lib::xi is the "trial and error" method: repeatedly
run the Perl script to see which module it tries and fails to load.

They work by installing a hook in C<@INC>. Read more about require hooks in
C<perlfunc> under the C<require> function.

=head1 FAQ

=head2 What is an Acme::CPANModules::* module?

An Acme::CPANModules::* module, like this module, contains just a list of module
names that share a common characteristics. It is a way to categorize modules and
document CPAN. See L<Acme::CPANModules> for more details.

=head2 What are ways to use this Acme::CPANModules module?

Aside from reading this Acme::CPANModules module's POD documentation, you can
install all the listed modules (entries) using L<cpanm-cpanmodules> script (from
L<App::cpanm::cpanmodules> distribution):

 % cpanm-cpanmodules -n ModuleAutoinstallers

Alternatively you can use the L<cpanmodules> CLI (from L<App::cpanmodules>
distribution):

    % cpanmodules ls-entries ModuleAutoinstallers | cpanm -n

or L<Acme::CM::Get>:

    % perl -MAcme::CM::Get=ModuleAutoinstallers -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

or directly:

    % perl -MAcme::CPANModules::ModuleAutoinstallers -E'say $_->{module} for @{ $Acme::CPANModules::ModuleAutoinstallers::LIST->{entries} }' | cpanm -n

This Acme::CPANModules module also helps L<lcpan> produce a more meaningful
result for C<lcpan related-mods> command when it comes to finding related
modules for the modules listed in this Acme::CPANModules module.
See L<App::lcpan::Cmd::related_mods> for more details on how "related modules"
are found.

=head1 CONTRIBUTING


To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on
GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can
simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your
system), you can install L<Dist::Zilla>,
L<Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>,
L<Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR>, and sometimes one or two other
Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond
that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
