The software allows users to create a configuration module interactively by prompting them. This simplifies the process of generating configurations to ensure efficient use.
You can integrate Module::TestConfig into your module build process (such as perl Makefile.PL), and also utilize it for installing that module into your site_perl. Another notable feature of this module is that it writes an object-oriented file. By specifying the file’s location and package name, every question’s name becomes an object method once you use() the file.
To use Module::TestConfig, simply use the following code snippet:
```use Module::TestConfig;```
Then, you can specify different parameters while creating a new object. Some of the customizable fields include:
- Verbose
- Defaults
- File
- Package
- Order
Additionally, you can also add several predefined questions to collect the desired information. A typical code snippet could look like this:
```
Module::TestConfig->new(
verbose => 1,
defaults => 'defaults.config',
file => 'MyConfig.pm',
package => 'MyConfig',
order => [ qw/defaults env/ ],
questions => [
[ 'Would you like tea?' => 'tea', 'y' ],
[ 'Crumpets?' => 'crumpets', 'y' ],
]
)->ask->save;
```
Once you have generated your configurations, you can use them later in other scripts or modules with this code snippet:
```
use MyConfig;
my $config = MyConfig->new;
print $config->tea eq 'y'
? "We're having tea today; splendid!"
: "No tea, I'm afraid. P'raps tomorrow.";
print $config->crumpets eq 'y'
? "Crumpets; lovely!"
: "Alas, we have no crumpets today";
```
As you can see, Module::TestConfig allows you to easily prompt users for input and generate a module that can be used later on. This module can definitely streamline the process of building and testing Perl modules.
