12 use Module::Build::Tiny;
13 Build_PL();
14
16 Many Perl distributions use a Build.PL file instead of a Makefile.PL
17 file to drive distribution configuration, build, test and installation.
18 Traditionally, Build.PL uses Module::Build as the underlying build
19 system. This module provides a simple, lightweight, drop-in
20 replacement.
21
22 Whereas Module::Build has over 6,700 lines of code; this module has
23 less than 120, yet supports the features needed by most distributions.
24
25 Supported
26 · Pure Perl distributions
27
28 · Building XS or C
29
30 · Recursive test files
31
32 · MYMETA
33
34 · Man page generation

36 · Generated code from PL files
37
38 Not Supported
39 · Dynamic prerequisites
40
41 · HTML documentation generation
42
43 · Extending Module::Build::Tiny
44
45 · Module sharedirs
46
47 Directory structure
48 Your .pm and .pod files must be in lib/. Any executables must be in
49 script/. Test files must be in t/. Dist sharedirs must be in share/.
50
52 These all work pretty much like their Module::Build equivalents.
53
54 perl Build.PL
55 Build [ build ]
56 Build test
57 Build install
58 This supports the following options:
59
60 · verbose
61
62 · install_base
63
64 · installdirs
65
66 · prefix
67
68 · install_path
69
70 · destdir
71
72 · uninst
73
74 · config
75
76 · pure-perl
77
78 · create_packlist
79
81 This module doesn't support authoring. To develop modules using
82 Module::Build::Tiny, usage of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ModuleBuildTiny or
83 App::ModuleBuildTiny is recommended.
84
86 Options can be provided in the "PERL_MB_OPT" environment variable the
87 same way they can with Module::Build. This should be done during the
88 configuration stage.
89
90 Incompatibilities
91 · Argument parsing
92
93 Module::Build has an extremely permissive way of argument handling,
94 Module::Build::Tiny only supports a (sane) subset of that. In
95 particular, "./Build destdir=/foo" does not work, you will need to
96 pass it as "./Build --destdir=/foo".
97
98 · .modulebuildrc
99
100 Module::Build::Tiny does not support .modulebuildrc files. In
101 particular, this means that versions of local::lib older than
102 1.006008 may break with "ERROR: Can't create /usr/local/somepath".
103 If the output of "perl -Mlocal::lib" contains "MODULEBUILDRC" but
104 not "PERL_MB_OPT ", you will need to upgrade it to resolve this
105 issue.
