NAME¶
pptemplate - script to generate Makefile.PL and PP file skeleton
SYNOPSIS¶
# generate Makefile.PL and mymodule.pd in CWD
pptemplate PDL::MyModule;
DESCRIPTION¶
The
pptemplate script is the easiest way to start a new module for PDL
that contains PP code (see also PDL::PP). The usage is simply
pptemplate modulename;
As a result pptemplate will generate a perl Makefile for the new module (
Makefile.PL) that contains the minimal structure to generate a module
from PP code and also a skeleton file for your new module.
The file will be called
mymod.pd if you called "pptemplate" as
pptemplate PDL::CleverAlgs::Mymod;
I suppose you can work out the naming rule ";)". If not resort to
experimentation or the source code.
"pptemplate" will refuse to overwrite existing files of the same name
to avoid accidents. Move them out of the way if you really want to scrap them.
Options¶
Currently there is only the "-i" option which switches
"pptemplate" into the so called
internal mode. It should only
be used when you are starting a new module within the main PDL tree that is
supposed to be part of the PDL distribution and the normal PDL build process,
e.g.
cd PDL/IO;
mkdir Mpthree; cd Mpthree;
pptemplate -i PDL::IO::Mpthree;
BUGS¶
Maybe ";)". Feedback and bug reports are welcome.
