Git::LoadCPAN

NAME

Git::LoadCPAN - Wrapper for loading modules from the CPAN (OS) or Git's own copy

DESCRIPTION

The Perl code in Git depends on some modules from the CPAN, but we don't want to make those a hard requirement for anyone building from source.

Therefore the Git::LoadCPAN namespace shipped with Git contains wrapper modules like Git::LoadCPAN::Module::Name that will first attempt to load Module::Name from the OS, and if that doesn't work will fall back on FromCPAN::Module::Name shipped with Git itself.

Usually distributors will not ship with Git's Git::FromCPAN tree at all via the NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS option, preferring to use their own packaging of CPAN modules instead.

This module is only intended to be used for code shipping in the git.git repository. Use it for anything else at your peril!
