Re: automate Net::SSH::Perl install via CPAN

Choosing the default is easy. Set the PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT environment variable or connect /dev/null to stdin. I have only done this when running 'perl Makefile.PL' manually but it should be possible to automate CPAN:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::SSH::Perl' < /dev /null
[download]

It may be possible to create a file with the selections and pipe this to Makefile.PL. This relies on the prompts coming in the same order.

I have not done that, But I was thinking of using this code snippet from README on CPAN, `#!/usr/bin/perl use CPAN; for $mod (qw(MD5 Net::SSH::Perl)){ my $obj = CPAN::Shell->expand('Module',$mod); $obj->install; }` [download] But I was wondering if I could automate it by passing Makefile.PL the arguments like so `$obj->makepl_arg = "arg1 arg2 arg3 ..."; $obj->install;` [download] Have any one try this? Thanks.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CPAN;
for $mod (qw(MD5 Net::SSH::Perl)){
            my $obj = CPAN::Shell->expand('Module',$mod);
            $obj->install;
        }

$obj->makepl_arg = "arg1 arg2 arg3 ...";
$obj->install;
