CPAN::AutoINC

I recently tried out CPAN::AutoINC and have to say that it's a useful Perl module that simplifies the process of installing all of the modules necessary for a given script. Essentially, this module works by adding itself to @INC and waiting for an attempt to use a non-existent module. Once such an attempt is made, CPAN::Shell is triggered to search for and install the module in question.

To get started with CPAN::AutoINC, you can load the module via the "-MCPAN::AutoINC" command-line option. From there, any non-existent modules used in your code will trigger the module to catch them and prompt CPAN to install them.

For example, suppose you want to use the Lingua::Num2Word::cardinal module in your script. By running the following command: "perl -MCPAN::AutoINC -MLingua::Num2Word=cardinal -le 'print cardinal("en", 42)'" the Lingua::Num2Word and Lingua::EN::Num2Word modules will be downloaded and installed.

If you then wanted to use the German version of this module, you could use the command: "perl -MCPAN::AutoINC -MLingua::Num2Word=cardinal -le 'print cardinal("de", 42)'" which would trigger the download and installation of Lingua::DE::Num2Word.

Finally, if you wanted to use the Spanish version of the module, you could run the command: "perl -MCPAN::AutoINC -MLingua::Num2Word=cardinal -le 'print cardinal("es", 42)'" which would download and install Lingua::ES::Numeros.

Overall, CPAN::AutoINC simplifies the process of installing Perl modules by handling the process automatically in the background. This means that your scripts can access the necessary modules even if they are not currently installed on your local machine.
