use-devel-assertos - a script to package Devel::AssertOS modules with your code.
This script, when run in the directory in which your shiny new module
lives, will bundle whichever Devel::AssertOS modules you ask it to
in the inc directory, and update your Makefile.PL (or Build.PL)
appropriately. If neither exists, it will create a Makefile.PL.
The MANIFEST file is updated if any files are created.
use-devel-assertos NetBSD OpenBSD FreeBSD
But note that if you use Module::Install you are encouraged to use
Module::Install::AssertOS instead.
In the example above, this will insert code to make your module depend on one of the specified OSes, as well as update Makefile.PL / Build.PL / MANIFEST. By default it's rather noisy, but you can suppress that by passing -q as the first parameter.
To get a list of supported platforms, do this:
use-devel-assertos -l
This script has not been thoroughly tested. You should check by hand that it has done what you expected after running it.
If you use Module::Build::Compat to write a Makefile.PL, then you will need to re-run this script whenever you have generated a new Makefile.PL.
I welcome feedback about my code, including constructive criticism. Bug reports should be made using http://rt.cpan.org/ or by email.
