SUBCOMMANDS

 download

  Usage

     af download
       [
         ( -f | --file )  alienfile | 
         ( -c | --class ) class
       ]
       [ ( -l | --local ) directory ]

  description

    Download the external resource using the usual alienfile logic. File
    will be deposited in the directory indicated by the --local (or -l)
    option, or the current working directory if not specified.

  options

   -f | --file

    The alienfile. If neither this option, nor -c is specified, then
    alienfile in the current directory will be assumed.

   -c | --class

    Get the alienfile from the already installed Alien module. You may omit
    the Alien:: prefix, so for example Alien::curl may be specified as
    simply curl.

   -l | --local

    The location to store the downloaded resource. The current directory if
    not specified.

 install

  Usage

     af install
       [
         ( -f | --file )  alienfile | 
         ( -c | --class ) class
       ]
       [ --stage directory ] [ --prefix directory ] [ --type ( share | system ) ]

  description

    Install or reinstall using the given alienfile or already installed
    Alien.

  options

   -f | --file

    The alienfile. If neither this option, nor -c is specified, then
    alienfile in the current directory will be assumed.

   -c | --class

    Get the alienfile from the already installed Alien module. You may omit
    the Alien:: prefix, so for example Alien::curl may be specified as
    simply curl. If you do not specify the --prefix option, the package
    will replace the already installed one.

   --stage

    The stage directory. By default this is a temporary directory that will
    automatically be removed.

   --prefix

    The final install location to use. Required when using the -f option,
    but optional when using the -c option.

   --type

    Override the install type. May be either share or system.

 requires

  Usage

     af requires
       [
         ( -f | --file )  alienfile | 
         ( -c | --class ) class
       ]
       [ ( -p | --phase ) ( configure | any | share | system ) ]

  description

    Print the requirements for the given phase in YAML format. If the phase
    is not provided, then requirements for all phases will be printed
    separately in YAML format.

  options

   -f | --file

    The alienfile. If neither this option, nor -c is specified, then
    alienfile in the current directory will be assumed.

   -c | --class

    Get the alienfile from the already installed Alien module. You may omit
    the Alien:: prefix, so for example Alien::curl may be specified as
    simply curl.

   -p | --phase

    The phase of the requirement. Please refer to the Alien::Build
    documentation for the meaning of the various phases.

 missing

  Usage

     af missing
       [

         ( -c | --class ) class
       ]
       [ ( -p | --phase ) ( configure | any | share | system ) ]

  description

    Print the requirements for the given phase in list format that are not
    currently fulfilled. This output can be piped into cpanm in order to
    install any missing requirements:

     % af missing | cpanm

    If no phase is specified, then the all missing requirements will be
    printed.

  options

   -f | --file

    The alienfile. If neither this option, nor -c is specified, then
    alienfile in the current directory will be assumed.

   -c | --class

    the Alien:: prefix, so for example Alien::curl may be specified as

    the Alien:: prefix, so for example Alien::curl may be queried as simply
    curl. If no specific properties are requested then the entire runtime
    property hash will be printed in YAML format.

  options

   -c | --class

    The class to query for runtime properties. This option is required.
