VERSION

SYNOPSIS

12         use strict;
13         use warnings;
14
15         use Devel::PatchPerl;
16
17         Devel::PatchPerl->patch_source( '5.6.1', '/path/to/untarred/perl/source/perl-5.6.1' );
18

DESCRIPTION

20       Devel::PatchPerl is a modularisation of the patching code contained in
21       Devel::PPPort's "buildperl.pl".
22
23       It does not build perls, it merely provides an interface to the source
24       patching functionality.
25

FUNCTION

27       "patch_source"
28           Takes two parameters, a "perl" version and the path to unwrapped
29           perl source for that version.  It dies on any errors.
30
31           If you don't supply a "perl" version, it will attempt to auto-
32           determine the "perl" version from the specified path.
33
34           If you don't supply the path to unwrapped perl source, it will
35           assume the current working directory.
