NAME¶
Module::Build::CleanInstall - Subclass of Module::Build which removes the old
module before installing the new one
SYNOPSIS¶
use strict;
use warnings;
use Module::Build::CleanInstall;
my $builder = Module::Build::CleanInstall->new(
... # same as Module::Build
);
$builder->create_build_script;
DESCRIPTION¶
Module::Build::CleanInstall is a subclass of Module::Build with one additional
feature, before upgrading the module from and old version to a new one, it
first removes the files installed by the previous version. This is useful
especially when the new version will not contain some files that the old one
did, and it is necessary that those files do not remain in place.
Since it is a subclass of Module::Build it is used exactly like that module.
This module does provide an additional action "uninstall", but it
need not be called separately; the action "install" will call it
when invoked.
The uninstalling is done by removing the files in the installed module's
packlist which is created when the module is first installed.
