EUHC: patch
    List-SomeUtils
    B-Hooks-EndOfScope
    Moose?
    App-Midgen -> seems to use MI presently
    namespace-clean -- ribasushi's --- should just use EUHC directly
    Class-Accessor-Group -- ribasushi - uses MI presently
    Devel-GlobalDestruction -- haarg's
    Params-Util -- adamk


-----------------


; patch MI::Can, Devel::CheckBin with updates that I develop here.
    (or ensure they depend on fixed versions - maybe_command needs 6.51_01, 6.69_04)


check implementation of Devel::CheckBin vs. File::Which and ensure we are
using the best one; document the differences:

new sub: is_perl_version, or has_perl -- which checks $]
document teh format expected of the argument

20:06 <@ether> . o O ( if you were calling a helper sub that checked $], would you rather: is_perl_version('5.008001'), or has_perl('5.008001')? )
20:07 < genehack> are those exact comparisons?
20:07 < genehack> because otherwise i might lean towards perl_greater_than()
20:09 <@ether> true, the first one is ambiguous
20:09 <@ether> they'd map to  $] >= $_[0]
20:10 <@ether> so it would ahve to be perl_greater_than_or_equal_to(), at which point most people are going to just use $] :)
20:10  * ether will sleep on has_perl()
20:14 < genehack> is_perl_this_big()
20:14 < Grinnz> is_perl_tall_enough_to_go_on_this_ride()
20:14 < genehack> more seriously, is_perl_at_least()
20:16 < Grinnz> no google autocomplete suggestions for "is perl at least" :(
20:17 < Grinnz> "is perl at least gonna drive me home"
20:45 <@ether> perl is my designated driver
20:53  * jberger checks key for ether's cabinets
01:03 <@kentnl> ether: perl_cmp("gte", "5.008001" ) ?
01:03 <@kentnl> or just perl_gte()  will work
01:05 <@kentnl> alternatively, do a CPS with a bless
01:05 <@kentnl> lol. no.
01:07 <@kentnl> perl_newer_than("5.008001") # >= 5.008001, perl_older_than("5.008001") # <= 5.008001
02:47 <@dolmen> ether: use Test::Is 'perl v5.8.1';
02:48 <@dolmen> ether: anyway, a test against $] should be evaluated at compile time, so the compilation can directly inline the right block
02:50 <@dolmen> ether: use constant IS_PERL_MIN_5_8_1 => $] >= 5.008001;

^^^ we want to generate a constant sub here with the argument baked in, for proper folding.
^^^ do the same for $^O checks as well!


---------------


check out these subs in Module::Install, as in https://metacpan.org/source/GFUJI/Data-Util-0.63/Makefile.PL:
    if(want_xs()){
        use_xshelper;
        cc_warnings;
        cc_define '-DINLINE_STR_EQ';
    }
    else{
        requires 'Hash::Util::FieldHash::Compat';
    }


when we add -requires, it needs to sanely merge with existing prereqs,
using CPAN::Meta::Requirements.
make this optional: -merge_requires = ...
so we don't always force a configure-requires on CMR.

methods not yet defined:
- has_compiler()

 *** who are the customers for this?
 - B-Hooks-EndOfScope
 - https://metacpan.org/source/HAARG/Devel-GlobalDestruction-0.13/Makefile.PL#L121
 - anything using DynamicPrereqs today
 - search for can_xs, can_cc in grep.cpan.me
 - Moose

 TODO:
 when adding TEST_REQUIRES, inject a configure-requires for EUMM 6.63_03
 check for other minimums too.

Getty wants a cpanfile (with the dynamic prereqs) to be generated.
ok, sure, I can do that by appending to an existing cpanfile if one is created
in the dist...
can do this by swapping out the FromCode sub with a method modified one.

13:40 < Getty> we have a lot of dzil plugin which have capabilities i would
like indepedent
13:46 < ether> I can't do cpanfile stuff with the current [DynamicPrereqs], as
the code is still specified raw, for direct insertion into Makefile.PL, but in
the future I'll support things like:
13:46 < ether> [DynamicPrereqs]
13:46 < ether> -condition is_os(mswin32)
13:46 < ether> -condition is_perl(>=5.12)
13:46 < ether> -runtimerequires = Foo::Bar 1.0
13:46 < ether> etc
13:46 < ether> and that's easily translatable into cpanfile snippets too
13:46 < leont> This sounds like a cpanfile, except not turing-complete ;-)
13:47 < ether> heh, yeah, kinda like how the syntax *should* have been :D
