NAME¶
ExtUtils::MakeMaker::CPANfile - cpanfile support for EUMM
SYNOPSIS¶
# Makefile.PL
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker::CPANfile;
WriteMakefile(
NAME => 'Foo::Bar',
AUTHOR => 'A.U.Thor <author@cpan.org>',
);
# cpanfile
requires 'ExtUtils::MakeMaker' => '6.17';
on test => sub {
requires 'Test::More' => '0.88';
};
DESCRIPTION¶
ExtUtils::MakeMaker::CPANfile loads "cpanfile" in your distribution
and modifies parameters for "WriteMakefile" in your Makefile.PL.
Just use it instead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker (which should be loaded
internally), and prepare "cpanfile".
As of version 0.03, ExtUtils::MakeMaker::CPANfile also removes WriteMakefile
parameters that the installed version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker doesn't know, to
avoid warnings.
LIMITATION¶
complex version ranges¶
As of this writing, complex version ranges are simply ignored.
dynamic config¶
Strictly speaking, "cpanfile" is a Perl script, and may have some
conditions in it. That said, you don't need to run Makefile.PL to determine
prerequisites in most cases. Hence, as of 0.06, ExtUtils::MakeMaker::CPANfile
sets "dynamic_config" to false by default. If you do need a CPAN
installer to run Makefile.PL to customize prerequisites dynamically, set
"dynamic_config" to true explicitly (via META_ADD/META_MERGE).
FOR MODULE AUTHORS¶
Thoguh the minimum version requirement of ExtUtils::MakeMaker is arbitrary set
to 6.17 (the one bundled in Perl 5.8.1), you need at least EUMM 6.52 (with
CONFIGURE_REQUIRES support) when you release a distribution.
