.SH "NAME"
Module::Install::Bundle \- Bundle distributions along with your distribution
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
Have your Makefile.PL read as follows:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  use inc::Module::Install;
\&  
\&  name      \*(AqFoo\-Bar\*(Aq;
\&  all_from  \*(Aqlib/Foo/Bar.pm\*(Aq;
\&  requires  \*(AqBaz\*(Aq => \*(Aq1.60\*(Aq;
\&  
\&  # one of either:
\&  bundle    \*(AqBaz\*(Aq => \*(Aq1.60\*(Aq;
\&  # OR:
\&  auto_bundle;
\&  
\&  WriteAll;
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Module::Install::Bundle allows you to bundle a \s-1CPAN\s0 distribution within your
distribution. When your end-users install your distribution, the bundled
distribution will be installed along with yours, unless a newer version of
the bundled distribution already exists on their local filesystem.
.PP
While bundling will increase the size of your distribution, it has several
benefits:
.PP
.Vb 3
\&  Allows installation of bundled distributions when CPAN is unavailable
\&  Allows installation of bundled distributions when networking is unavailable
\&  Allows everything your distribution needs to be packaged in one place
.Ve
.PP
Bundling differs from auto-installation in that when it comes time to
install, a bundled distribution will be installed based on the distribution
bundled with your distribution, whereas with auto-installation the distribution
to be installed will be acquired from \s-1CPAN\s0 and then installed.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\fBauto_bundle()\fR
.Sp
Takes no arguments, will bundle every distribution specified by a \f(CW\*(C`requires()\*(C'\fR.
When you, as a module author, do a \f(CW\*(C`perl Makefile.PL\*(C'\fR the latest versions of
the distributions to be bundled will be acquired from \s-1CPAN\s0 and placed in
\&\fIinc/BUNDLES/\fR.
.IP "\(bu" 4
bundle($name, \f(CW$version\fR)
.Sp
Takes a list of key/value pairs specifying a distribution name and version
number. When you, as a module author, do a perl Makefile.PL the distributions
that you specified with \f(CW\*(C`bundle()\*(C'\fR will be acquired from \s-1CPAN\s0 and placed in
\&\fIinc/BUNDLES/\fR.
.IP "\(bu" 4
bundle_deps($name, \f(CW$version\fR)
.Sp
Same as \f(CW\*(C`bundle\*(C'\fR, except that all dependencies of the bundled modules are
also detected and bundled.  To use this function, you need to declare the
minimum supported perl version first, like this:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    perl_version( \*(Aq5.005\*(Aq );
.Ve
.IP "\(bu" 4
auto_bundle_deps
.Sp
Same as \f(CW\*(C`auto_bundle\*(C'\fR, except that all dependencies of the bundled
modules are also detected and bundled. This function has the same constraints as bundle_deps.
