Right, I'd seen a few modules do this, but.. Is there a
*standard* way of doing it? Those Makefile.PLs tend to look
cluttered and confusing IMO.. a nice:
use Test::Auth;
get_user_fields("user", "password");
would be preferable.. (hmmm, could write something that does
that, using IO::Prompt.. anyone interested?)
If there's a standard way of doing it, it would be really nice
that it understood when it was being run in a smoke
environment, and asked no questions and used built-in defaults.
That's exactly what EU::MM's prompt() function and
Module::Build's prompt() method do/are for.
Thanks, that sounds like what I was looking for!
Oh yeah, I meant to mention prompt() and y_n() (which is M::B-only) but
I forgot.
(hmm, assuming I can pass the results on to make test.. I'll have a
look)
That's what notes() is for. If you don't want to use Module::Build,
you'll just have to cobble something together yourself, which is what I
was talking about when I said you'd have to write it to a file
someplace.
