man Module::Install::Build () - Extension Rules for Module::Build
NAME
Module::Install::Build - Extension Rules for Module::Build
VERSION
This document describes version 0.01 of Module::Install::Build, released March 1, 2003.
SYNOPSIS
In your Makefile.PL:
use inc::Module::Install;
&Build->write;
DESCRIPTION
This module is a wrapper around Module::Build.
The CW&Build-write> function will pass on keyword/value pair functions to CWModule::Build::create_build_script.
VERSION
Module::Build requires either the CWVERSION or CWVERSION_FROM parameter. If this module can guess the package's CWNAME, it will attempt to parse the CWVERSION from it.
If this module can't find a default for CWVERSION it will ask you to specify it manually.
MAKE TARGETS
Module::Build provides you with many useful CWmake targets. A CWmake target is the word you specify after CWmake, like CWtest for CWmake test. Some of the more useful targets are:
- * all
- This is the default target. When you type CWmake it is the same as entering CWmake all. This target builds all of your code and stages it in the CWblib directory.
- * test
- Run your distribution's test suite.
- * install
- Copy the contents of the CWblib directory into the appropriate directories in your Perl installation.
- * dist
- Create a distribution tarball, ready for uploading to CPAN or sharing with a friend.
- * clean distclean purge
- Remove the files created by CWperl Makefile.PL and CWmake.
- * help
- Same as typing CWperldoc Module::Build.
This module modifies the behaviour of some of these targets, depending on your requirements, and also adds the following targets to your Makefile:
- * cpurge
- Just like purge, except that it also deletes the files originally added by this module itself.
- * chelp
- Short cut for typing CWperldoc Module::Install.
- * distsign
- Short cut for typing CWcpansign -s, for Module::Signature users to sign the distribution before release.
