Automating install of modules that need Makefile.PL args with CPANby rsmah (Scribe) |

rsmah has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm trying to automate the install of modules from a script. One is Template Toolkit 2. The Makefile.PL for TT2 interactively asks questions. This is bad. However, you can pass args to Makefile.PL to make it quiet. This is good.
I've tried to call cpan in a variety of ways, including setting $CPAN::Config->{makepl_arg} = "..." or calling CPAN::Shell->o("conf", "makepl_arg", "...") but they don't seem to work! The next call to make/test/install doesn't seem to use the options I specified. Anyone know what's going on? Just FYI, I'm trying this: perl -MCPAN -e'CPAN::Shell->o("conf", "makepl_arg", "TT_ACCEPT=y TT_QUIET=y"); make Template' I've also tried: perl -MCPAN -e'CPAN::Shell->o("conf", "makepl_arg", "TT_ACCEPT=y TT_QUIET=y"); CPAN::Shell->make("Template")' Oh, if there's a way to do this with the cpan wrapper program directly, I'd love to know!
