my @optionals = (
    __any( 'Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE::Iridium'	=> <<'EOD' ),
      This module is needed if you wish to compute Iridium Classic flare
      events. If you do not intend to do this, this module is not
      needed.
EOD
    __any( 'Astro::SIMBAD::Client'	=> <<'EOD' ),
      This module is required for the 'satpass' script's 'sky lookup'
      command, but is otherwise unused by this package. If you do not
      intend to use this functionality, this module is not needed.
EOD
    __any( [ 'Astro::SpaceTrack' => 0.052 ]	=> <<'EOD' ),
      This module is required for the 'satpass' script's 'st' command,
      but is otherwise unused by this package. If you do not intend to
      use this functionality, this module is not needed.
EOD
    __any( 'Date::Manip'		=> <<'EOD'
      This module is not required, but the alternative to installing it
      is to specify times to the 'satpass' script in ISO 8601 format.
      See 'SPECIFYING TIMES' in the 'satpass' documentation for the
      details.
EOD
	. ( $] < 5.010 ? <<'EOD' : '' ) ),

      Unfortunately, the current Date::Manip requires Perl 5.10. Since
      you are running an earlier Perl, you can try installing Date-Manip
      5.54, which is the most recent version that does _not_ require
      Perl 5.10.
EOD
    __any( 'Geo::Coder::OSM'			=> <<'EOD' ),
      This module is required for the 'satpass' script's 'geocode'
      command, but is otherwise unused by this package. If you do not
      intend to use this functionality, this module is not needed.
EOD
    __any( 'Geo::WebService::Elevation::USGS'	=> <<'EOD' ),
      This module is required for the 'satpass' script's 'height'
      command, but is otherwise unused by this package. If you do not
      intend to use this functionality, this module is not needed.
EOD
    ( ( $] >= 5.008 && $Config{useperlio} ) ? () :
    __any( 'IO::String'				=> <<'EOD' ) ),
      You appear to have a version of Perl earlier than 5.8, or one
      which is not configured to use perlio. Under this version of Perl
      IO::String is required by the 'satpass' script if you wish to pass
      commands on the command line, or to define macros. If you do not
      intend to do these things, this module is not needed.
EOD
    __any( 'JSON'				=> <<'EOD' ),
      This module is required for Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE to parse
      orbital data in JSON format. If you do not intend to do this, this
      module is not needed.
EOD
    ( $] >= 5.012 ? () :
    __any( 'Time::y2038'			=> <<'EOD'
      This module is not required, but if installed allows you to do
      computations for times outside the usual range of system epoch to
      system epoch + 0x7FFFFFFF seconds.
EOD
	. ( $misbehaving_os{$^O} ? <<"EOD" : '' )

      Unfortunately, Time::y2038 has been known to misbehave when
      running under $^O, so you may be better off just accepting the
      restricted time range.
EOD
	. ( ( $Config{use64bitint} || $Config{use64bitall} ) ? <<'EOD' : '' ) ) ),
	    and $recommendation .= <<'EOD';

      Since your Perl appears to support 64-bit integers, you may well
      not need Time::y2038 to do computations for times outside the
      so-called 'usual range.' It will be used, though, if it is
      available.

The following optional modules were not available:

    $need_some

It is not necessary to install these now. If you decide to install them
later, this software will make use of them when it finds them.

=head1 NAME

My::Module::Recommend - Recommend modules to install.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use lib qw{ inc };
 use My::Module::Recommend;
 My::Module::Recommend->recommend();

=head1 DETAILS

This package generates the recommendations for optional modules. It is
intended to be called by the build system. The build system's own
mechanism is not used because we find its output on the Draconian side.

=head1 METHODS

This class supports the following public methods:

=head2 optionals

 say for My::Module::Recommend->optionals();

This static method simply returns the names of the optional modules.

=head2 recommend

 My::Module::Recommend->recommend();

This static method examines the current Perl to see which optional
modules are installed. If any are not installed, a message is printed to
standard error explaining the benefits to be gained from installing the
module, and any possible problems with installing it.

=head2 test_without

 say for My::Module::Recommend->test_without();

This static method simply returns the names of the modules to be tested
without.

=head1 SUPPORT

Support is by the author. Please file bug reports at
L or in
electronic mail to the author.
