Module::Install::Build - Extension Rules for Module::Build This document describes version 0.01 of Module::Install::Build, released March 1, 2003. In your Makefile.PL:
use inc::Module::Install;&Build->write;
This module is a wrapper around Module::Build. The "&Build->write" function will pass on keyword/value pair functions to "Module::Build::create_build_script".
VERSION Module::Build requires either the "VERSION" or "VERSION_FROM" parameter. If this module can guess the package's "NAME", it will attempt to parse the "VERSION" from it. If this module can't find a default for "VERSION" it will ask you to specify it manually. Module::Build provides you with many useful "make" targets. A "make" target is the word you specify after "make", like "test" for "make test". Some of the more useful targets are: This is the default target. When you type "make" it is the same as entering "make all". This target builds all of your code and stages it in the "blib" directory. Run your distribution's test suite. Copy the contents of the "blib" directory into the appropriate directories in your Perl installation. Create a distribution tarball, ready for uploading to CPAN or sharing with a friend. Remove the files created by "perl Makefile.PL" and "make". Same as typing "perldoc Module::Build". This module modifies the behaviour of some of these targets, depending on your requirements, and also adds the following targets to your Makefile: Just like purge, except that it also deletes the files originally added by this module itself. Short cut for typing "perldoc Module::Install". Short cut for typing "cpansign -s", for Module::Signature users to sign the distribution before release.
