Support all phases supported by cpanfile

[evoyy]

cpanfile specifies:

on $phase => sub { ... };

Describe requirements for a specific phase. Available phases are configure, build, test, runtime and develop.

However, cpanm only provides switches for configure and develop phases:

--with-configure
--with-develop

Will it be possible to install dependencies for the other phases (build, test, runtime)? I was expecting to find a switch --with-test.

test is dictated by the --notest option, and build is required anyway if you try to build a module. There's no way you can install a module without 'build' modules.

[evoyy]

My use case: I want to install all dependencies except the dependencies required by my test suite. So in development build I would run:

cpanm -L perl5 --installdeps --with-test .

and in production:

cpanm -L perl5 --installdeps .

This means my production build is slightly smaller.

[miyagawa]

You just run --notest in production and it would accomplish what you need?

[miyagawa]

Oh, I guess it will still install the test group. It came up as a requirement from Travis CI when they want to skip testing the dependencies but still needs to install the test group. Ugh.

I faced the same problem as evoyy. cpanfile would be much more precise if I could put dependencies where they really belong. Currently, I have to stash test dependencies in develop for Travis to work and it is confusing for they do not belong in develop.
