SYNOPSIS

Top

    use ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::PBP;

    $mod = ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::PBP->new(
        NAME => 'Sample::Module'
    );

    $mod->complete_build();

    $mod->dump_keys(qw|
        ...  # key provided as argument to constructor
        ...  # same
    |);

VERSION

Top

This document references version 0.09 of ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::PBP, released to CPAN on April 5, 2006.

DESCRIPTION

Top

ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::PBP subclasses Perl extension ExtUtils::ModuleMaker. If you are not already familiar with ExtUtils::ModuleMaker, you should read its documentation now. The documentation provided below is intended primarily for future maintainers and extenders of ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::PBP.

The default value settings and methods described below supersede the similarly named methods in ExtUtils::ModuleMaker. When used as described herein, they will create a CPAN-ready Perl distribution the content of whose files reflects programming practices recommended by Damian Conway in his book Perl Best Practices (O'Reilly, 2005) http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlbp/.

USAGE

Top

The easiest way to get started with ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::PBP is to use the mmkrpbp utility included in this distribution. mmkrpbp is basically a clone of the modulemaker utility included with ExtUtils::ModuleMaker. To get started with mmkrpbp, simply go to the command-prompt and enter:

    %    mmkrpbp

Then, answer the questions at each prompt. In many cases, you will simply have to type a single letter or number to make your selections. Please see the documentation for mmkrpbp and modulemaker.

DEFAULT VALUES

Top

The following default values for ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::PBP differ from those set in ExtUtils/ModuleMaker/Defaults.pm.

[ REPLACE THIS...

  The README is used to introduce the module and provide instructions on
  how to install the module, any machine dependencies it may have (for
  example C compilers and installed libraries) and any other information
  that should be understood before the module is installed.

  A README file is required for CPAN modules since CPAN extracts the
  README file from a module distribution so that people browsing the
  archive can use it get an idea of the modules uses. It is usually a
  good idea to provide version information here so that people can
  decide whether fixes for the module are worth downloading.

INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

END_OF_TOP

    my $makemaker_instructions = <<'END_OF_MAKE';
    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make install
END_OF_MAKE

    my $mb_instructions = <<'END_OF_BUILD';
    perl Build.PL
    ./Build
    ./Build test
    ./Build install
END_OF_BUILD

    my $README_middle = <<'END_OF_MIDDLE';

Alternatively, to install with Module::Build, you can use the
following commands:

 ====for author_to_fill_in
    List every single error and warning message that the module can
    generate (even the ones that will ''never happen''), with a full
    explanation of each problem, one or more likely causes, and any
    suggested remedies.

None.


 ====head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES

 ====for author_to_fill_in
    A list of any modules that this module cannot be used in conjunction
    with. This may be due to name conflicts in the interface, or
    competition for system or program resources, or due to internal
    limitations of Perl (for example, many modules that use source code
    filters are mutually incompatible).

None reported.


 ====head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

 ====for author_to_fill_in
    A list of known problems with the module, together with some
    indication Whether they are likely to be fixed in an upcoming
    release. Also a list of restrictions on the features the module
    does provide: data types that cannot be handled, performance issues
    and the circumstances in which they may arise, practical
    limitations on the size of data sets, special cases that are not
    (yet) handled, etc.
