NAME

MATT::Perl - Common Perl functions


SYNOPSIS

MATT::Perl is a grouping of frequently used functions I've written


DESCRIPTION

LoadModule

        LoadModule ( $mod, $name, $dir, $warn)
        LoadModule ( "CGI.pm", "p5-CGI.pm", "www")

Loads a required Perl module. If the load fails, we attempt to install the required module (rather than failing gracelessly).

  $mod is the name of the module: (ie. LWP::UserAgent)
  $name is the name of the FreeBSD port
  $dir is is the ports category
  $warn - if set, we warn instead of dying upon failure

InstallPerl

        use MATT::Perl;
        InstallPerl("perl-5.8.1");

currently only works on FreeBSD and Darwin (Mac OS X)
