NAME

6       Module::Install::MakeMaker - Extension Rules for ExtUtils::MakeMaker
7

SYNOPSIS

9       In your Makefile.PL:
10
11           use inc::Module::Install;
12           WriteMakefile();
13

DESCRIPTION

15       This module is a wrapper around ExtUtils::MakeMaker.  It exports two
16       functions: "prompt" (an alias for "ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt") and
17       "WriteMakefile".
18
19       The "WriteMakefile" function will pass on keyword/value pair functions
20       to "ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteMakefile". The required parameters "NAME"
21       and "VERSION" (or "VERSION_FROM") are not necessary if it can find them
22       unambiguously in your code.
23

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

25       This module also adds some Configuration parameters of its own:
26
27   NAME
28       The NAME parameter is required by ExtUtils::MakeMaker. If you have a
29       single module in your distribution, or if the module name indicated by
30       the current directory exists under lib/, this module will use the
31       guessed package name as the default.
32
33       If this module can't find a default for "NAME" it will ask you to
34       specify it manually.
35
36   VERSION
37       ExtUtils::MakeMaker requires either the "VERSION" or "VERSION_FROM"
38       parameter.  If this module can guess the package's "NAME", it will
39       attempt to parse the "VERSION" from it.
40
41       If this module can't find a default for "VERSION" it will ask you to
42       specify it manually.
43

MAKE TARGETS

45       ExtUtils::MakeMaker provides you with many useful "make" targets. A
46       "make" target is the word you specify after "make", like "test" for
47       "make test". Some of the more useful targets are:
48
49       •   all
50
51           This is the default target. When you type "make" it is the same as
52           entering "make all". This target builds all of your code and stages
53           it in the "blib" directory.
54
55       •   test
56
57           Run your distribution's test suite.
58
59       •   install
60
61           Copy the contents of the "blib" directory into the appropriate
62           directories in your Perl installation.
63
64       •   dist
65
66           Create a distribution tarball, ready for uploading to CPAN or
67           sharing with a friend.
68
69       •   clean distclean purge
70
71           Remove the files created by "perl Makefile.PL" and "make".
72
73       •   help
74
75           Same as typing "perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker".
76
77       This module modifies the behaviour of some of these targets, depending
78       on your requirements, and also adds the following targets to your
79       Makefile:
80
81       •   cpurge
82
83           Just like purge, except that it also deletes the files originally
84           added by this module itself.
85
86       •   chelp
87
88           Short cut for typing "perldoc Module::Install".
89
90       •   distsign
91
92           Short cut for typing "cpansign -s", for Module::Signature users to
93           sign the distribution before release.
