.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist::Build\*(C'\fR is a distribution class for \f(CW\*(C`Module::Build\*(C'\fR
related modules.
Using this package, you can create, install and uninstall perl
modules. It inherits from \f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist\*(C'\fR.
.PP
Normal users won't have to worry about the interface to this module,
as it functions transparently as a plug-in to \f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS\*(C'\fR and will
just \f(CW\*(C`Do The Right Thing\*(C'\fR when it's loaded.
.SH "ACCESSORS"
.IX Header "ACCESSORS"
.ie n .IP """parent()""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWparent()\fR" 4

this module.
.SH "STATUS ACCESSORS"
.IX Header "STATUS ACCESSORS"
All accessors can be accessed as follows:
    \f(CW$build\fR\->status\->\s-1ACCESSOR\s0
.ie n .IP """build_pl ()""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWbuild_pl ()\fR" 4

This gets set after \f(CW\*(C`perl Build.PL\*(C'\fR
.ie n .IP """distdir ()""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWdistdir ()\fR" 4
.IX Item "distdir ()"
Full path to the directory in which the \f(CW\*(C`prepare\*(C'\fR call took place,
set after a call to \f(CW\*(C`prepare\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .IP """created ()""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWcreated ()\fR" 4
.IX Item "created ()"
\&\s-1BOOL\s0 indicating if the \f(CW\*(C`create\*(C'\fR call exited successfully. This gets
set after \f(CW\*(C`Build\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Build test\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .IP """installed ()""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWinstalled ()\fR" 4
.IX Item "installed ()"
\&\s-1BOOL\s0 indicating if the module was installed. This gets set after
\&\f(CW\*(C`Build install\*(C'\fR exits successfully.
.IP "uninstalled ()" 4
.IX Item "uninstalled ()"
\&\s-1BOOL\s0 indicating if the module was uninstalled properly.
.ie n .IP """_create_args ()""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW_create_args ()\fR" 4
.IX Item "_create_args ()"
Storage of the arguments passed to \f(CW\*(C`create\*(C'\fR for this object. Used
for recursive calls when satisfying prerequisites.
.ie n .IP """_install_args ()""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW_install_args ()\fR" 4
.IX Item "_install_args ()"
Storage of the arguments passed to \f(CW\*(C`install\*(C'\fR for this object. Used
for recursive calls when satisfying prerequisites.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.ie n .SS "$bool = CPANPLUS::Dist::Build\->\fIformat_available()\fP;"
.el .SS "\f(CW$bool\fP = CPANPLUS::Dist::Build\->\fIformat_available()\fP;"
.IX Subsection "$bool = CPANPLUS::Dist::Build->format_available();"
Returns a boolean indicating whether or not you can use this package
to create and install modules in your environment.
.ie n .SS "$bool = $dist\->\fIinit()\fP;"
.el .SS "\f(CW$bool\fP = \f(CW$dist\fP\->\fIinit()\fP;"
.IX Subsection "$bool = $dist->init();"
Sets up the \f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist::Build\*(C'\fR object for use.
Effectively creates all the needed status accessors.
.PP
Called automatically whenever you create a new \f(CW\*(C`CPANPLUS::Dist\*(C'\fR object.
.ie n .SS "$bool = $dist\->prepare([perl => '/path/to/perl', buildflags => 'EXTRA=FLAGS', force => \s-1BOOL,\s0 verbose => \s-1BOOL\s0])"
.el .SS "\f(CW$bool\fP = \f(CW$dist\fP\->prepare([perl => '/path/to/perl', buildflags => 'EXTRA=FLAGS', force => \s-1BOOL,\s0 verbose => \s-1BOOL\s0])"
.IX Subsection "$bool = $dist->prepare([perl => '/path/to/perl', buildflags => 'EXTRA=FLAGS', force => BOOL, verbose => BOOL])"
\&\f(CW\*(C`prepare\*(C'\fR prepares a distribution, running \f(CW\*(C`Build.PL\*(C'\fR
and establishing any prerequisites this
distribution has.
.PP
The variable \f(CW\*(C`PERL5_CPANPLUS_IS_EXECUTING\*(C'\fR will be set to the full path
of the \f(CW\*(C`Build.PL\*(C'\fR that is being executed. This enables any code inside
the \f(CW\*(C`Build.PL\*(C'\fR to know that it is being installed via \s-1CPANPLUS.\s0
.PP
After a successful \f(CW\*(C`prepare\*(C'\fR you may call \f(CW\*(C`create\*(C'\fR to create the
distribution, followed by \f(CW\*(C`install\*(C'\fR to actually install it.
.PP
Returns true on success and false on failure.
.ie n .SS "$dist\->create([perl => '/path/to/perl', buildflags => 'EXTRA=FLAGS', prereq_target => \s-1TARGET,\s0 force => \s-1BOOL,\s0 verbose => \s-1BOOL,\s0 skiptest => \s-1BOOL\s0])"
.el .SS "\f(CW$dist\fP\->create([perl => '/path/to/perl', buildflags => 'EXTRA=FLAGS', prereq_target => \s-1TARGET,\s0 force => \s-1BOOL,\s0 verbose => \s-1BOOL,\s0 skiptest => \s-1BOOL\s0])"
.IX Subsection "$dist->create([perl => '/path/to/perl', buildflags => 'EXTRA=FLAGS', prereq_target => TARGET, force => BOOL, verbose => BOOL, skiptest => BOOL])"
\&\f(CW\*(C`create\*(C'\fR preps a distribution for installation. This means it will
run \f(CW\*(C`Build\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Build test\*(C'\fR.
This will also satisfy any prerequisites the module may have.
.PP
If you set \f(CW\*(C`skiptest\*(C'\fR to true, it will skip the \f(CW\*(C`Build test\*(C'\fR stage.
If you set \f(CW\*(C`force\*(C'\fR to true, it will go over all the stages of the
\&\f(CW\*(C`Build\*(C'\fR process again, ignoring any previously cached results. It
will also ignore a bad return value from \f(CW\*(C`Build test\*(C'\fR and still allow
the operation to return true.
.PP
Returns true on success and false on failure.
.PP
You may then call \f(CW\*(C`$dist\->install\*(C'\fR on the object to actually
install it.
.ie n .SS "$dist\->install([verbose => \s-1BOOL,\s0 perl => /path/to/perl])"
.el .SS "\f(CW$dist\fP\->install([verbose => \s-1BOOL,\s0 perl => /path/to/perl])"
.IX Subsection "$dist->install([verbose => BOOL, perl => /path/to/perl])"
Actually installs the created dist.
.PP
Returns true on success and false on failure.
