NAME

6       pptemplate - script to generate Makefile.PL and PP file skeleton
7

SYNOPSIS

9               # generate Makefile.PL and mymodule.pd in CWD
10               pptemplate PDL::MyModule;
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The pptemplate script is the easiest way to start a new module for PDL
14       that contains PP code (see also PDL::PP). The usage is simply
15
16         pptemplate modulename;
17
18       As a result pptemplate will generate a perl Makefile for the new module
19       (Makefile.PL) that contains the minimal structure to generate a module
20       from PP code and also a skeleton file for your new module.
21
22       The file will be called mymod.pd if you called "pptemplate" as
23
24         pptemplate PDL::CleverAlgs::Mymod;
25
26       I suppose you can work out the naming rule ";)". If not resort to
27       experimentation or the source code.
28
29       "pptemplate" will refuse to overwrite existing files of the same name
30       to avoid accidents. Move them out of the way if you really want to
31       scrap them.
32
33   Options
34       Currently there is only the "-i" option which switches "pptemplate"
35       into the so called internal mode.  It should only be used when you are
36       starting a new module within the main PDL tree that is supposed to be
37       part of the PDL distribution and the normal PDL build process, e.g.
38
39          cd PDL/IO;
40          mkdir Mpthree; cd Mpthree;
41          pptemplate -i PDL::IO::Mpthree;
42

BUGS

44       Maybe ";)".  Feedback and bug reports are welcome.
