SYNOPSIS # equivalent to -Mlib::none % perl -Mlib::filter=allow_core,0,allow_noncore,0 yourscript.pl # equivalent to -Mlib::core::only % perl -Mlib::filter=allow_noncore,0 yourscript.pl # allow core modules plus some more modules % perl -Mlib::filter=allow_noncore,0,allow,'List::MoreUtils;List::MoreUtils::PP;List::MoreUtils::XS' yourscript.pl # allow additional modules by pattern % perl -Mlib::filter=allow_noncore,0,allow_re,'^DateTime::.*' yourscript.pl # allow additional modules listed in a file % perl -Mlib::filter=allow_noncore,0,allow_list,'^DateTime::.*' yourscript.pl # allow additional modules found in some dirs % perl -Mlib::filter=allow_noncore,0,extra_path,'.:proj/lib' yourscript.pl DESCRIPTION This pragma installs a hook in @INC to allow only some modules from being found/loadable. This pragma is useful for testing, e.g. fatpacked script and is more flexible than lib::none and lib::core::only. lib::none is absolutely ruthless: your fatpacked script must fatpack all modules (including things like strict, warnings) as lib::none empties @INC and removes perl's ability to load any more modules. lib::core::only only puts core paths in @INC so your fatpacked script must contain all non-core modules. But this is also too restrictive in some cases because we cannot fatpack XS modules and want to let the script load those from filesystem. lib::filter makes it possible for you to, e.g. only allow core modules, plus some other modules (like some XS modules). To use this pragma: use lib::filter %opts; Known options: * allow_core => bool (default: 1) * allow_noncore => bool (default: 1) * allow => str Add a semicolon-separated list of modules to allow. * disallow => str Add a semicolon-separated list of modules to disallow. This will take precedence over any allowed list. * allow_re => str Allow modules matching regex pattern. * disallow_re => str Disallow modules matching regex pattern. This will take precedence over any allowed list. * allow_list => filename Read a file containing list of modules to allow (one module per line). * disallow_list => filename Read a file containing list of modules to disallow (one module per line). This wlll take precedence over any allowed list. * extra_inc => str Add additional path to search modules in. String must be colon-separated paths. SEE ALSO lib::none lib::core::only
