distribution Log-Report-Optional

• My extended documentation: http://perl.overmeer.net/CPAN/
• Development via GitHub: https://github.com/markov2/perl5-Log-Report-Optional
• Download from CPAN: ftp://ftp.cpan.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/M/MA/MARKOV/
• Indexed from CPAN: https://metacpan.org/release/Log-Report-Optional

This module will allow libraries (helper modules) to have a dependency to a small module instead of the full Log-Report distribution. The full power of "Log::Report" is only released when the main program uses that module. In that case, the module using the 'Optional' will also use the full "Log::Report", otherwise the dressed-down "Log::Report::Minimal" version.

Development → Release

Important to know, is that I use an extension on POD to write the manuals. The "raw" unprocessed version is visible on GitHub. It will run without problems, but does not contain manual-pages.

Releases to CPAN are different: "raw" documentation gets removed from the code and translated into real POD and clean HTML. This reformatting is implemented with the OODoc distribution (A name I chose before OpenOffice existed, sorry for the confusion)

Clone from github for the "raw" version. For instance, when you want to contribute a new feature.

On github, you can find the processed version for each release. But the better source is CPAN; to get it installed simply run:

   cpan -i Log::Report::Optional

Contributing

When you want to contribute to this module, you do not need to provide a perfect patch... actually: it is nearly impossible to create a patch which I will merge without modification. Usually, I need to adapt the style of code and documentation to my own strict rules.

When you submit an extension, please contribute a set with

1. code

2. code documentation

3. regression tests in t/
