NAME

ExtUtils::Command::MM - Commands for the MM's to use in Makefiles

SYNOPSIS

  perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e "function" "--" arguments...

DESCRIPTION

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY! The interface is not stable.

ExtUtils::Command::MM encapsulates code which would otherwise have to be done with large one liners.

Any $(FOO) used in the examples are make variables, not Perl.

test_harness
  test_harness($verbose, @test_libs);
Runs the tests on CW@ARGV via Test::Harness passing through the CW$verbose flag. Any CW@test_libs will be unshifted onto the test's CW@INC. @test_libs are run in alphabetical order.
pod2man
  pod2man( '--option=value',
           $podfile1 => $manpage1,
           $podfile2 => $manpage2,
           ...
         );

  # or args on @ARGV
pod2man() is a function performing most of the duties of the pod2man program. Its arguments are exactly the same as pod2man as of 5.8.0 with the addition of: 
    --perm_rw   octal permission to set the resulting manpage to
And the removal of: 
    --verbose/-v
    --help/-h
If no arguments are given to pod2man it will read from CW@ARGV.
warn_if_old_packlist
  perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e warn_if_old_packlist <somefile>
Displays a warning that an old packlist file was found. Reads the filename from CW@ARGV.
perllocal_install
    perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e perllocal_install 
        <type> <module name> <key> <value> ...

    # VMS only, key/value pairs come on STDIN
    perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e perllocal_install
        <type> <module name> < <key> <value> ...
Prints a fragment of POD suitable for appending to perllocal.pod. Arguments are read from CW@ARGV. 'type' is the type of what you're installing. Usually 'Module'. 'module name' is simply the name of your module. (Foo::Bar) Key/value pairs are extra information about the module. Fields include: 
    installed into      which directory your module was out into
    LINKTYPE            dynamic or static linking
    VERSION             module version number
    EXE_FILES           any executables installed in a space seperated 
                        list
uninstall
    perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e uninstall <packlist>
A wrapper around ExtUtils::Install::uninstall(). Warns that uninstallation is deprecated and doesn't actually perform the uninstallation.
