# ExtUtils::Builder::Node(3pm)

An ExtUtils::Builder Node

## NAME

ExtUtils::Builder::Node - An ExtUtils::Builder Node

## VERSION

version 0.017

## SYNOPSIS

```
 ExtUtils::Builder::Node->new(
     target       => $target_name,
     dependencies => \@dependencies,
     actions      => \@actions,
 );
```

## DESCRIPTION

A node is the equivalent of a makefile entry. In essence it boils down to its three attributes: `"target"` (the name of the target), `"dependencies"`(the names of the dependencies) and `"actions"`. A Node is a composite action, meaning that in can be executed or serialized as a whole.

## ATTRIBUTES

### target

The target filename of this node.

### dependencies

The (file)names of the dependencies of this node.

### actions

A list of actions for this node.

### type

This must be one of `"file"` or `"phony"`. In the latter case the target will not be represented on the filesystem.

### phony

**Deprecated**.

Instead, pass `"type => 'phony'"`

## METHODS

### mergeable

This returns true if a node is mergeable, i.e. it's phony and has no actions.
