Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::BadVersion(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation NAME Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::BadVersion - Plugin to filter out known bad versions VERSION version 2.83 SYNOPSIS use alienfile; plugin 'Prefer::BadVersion' => '1.2.3'; DESCRIPTION This plugin allows you to easily filter out known bad versions of libraries in a share install. It doesn't affect a system install at all. You need a Prefer plugin that filters and sorts files first. You may specify the filter in one of three ways: as a string Filter out any files that match the given version. use alienfile; plugin 'Prefer::BadVersion' => '1.2.3'; as an array Filter out all files that match any of the given versions. use alienfile; plugin 'Prefer::BadVersion' => [ '1.2.3', '1.2.4' ]; as a code reference Filter out any files return a true value. use alienfile; plugin 'Prefer::BadVersion' => sub { my($file) = @_; $file->{version} eq '1.2.3'; # same as the string version above }; This plugin can also be used to filter out known bad versions of a library on just one platform. For example, if you know that version 1.2.3 if bad on windows, but okay on other platforms: use alienfile; plugin 'Prefer::BadVersion' => '1.2.3' if $^O eq 'MSWin32'; PROPERTIES filter Filter out entries that match the filter. CAVEATS If you are using the string or array mode, then you need an existing Prefer plugin that sets the version number for each file candidate, such as Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::SortVersions. Unless you want to exclude the latest version from a share install, this plugin isn't really that useful. It has no effect on system installs, which may not be obvious at first.
