450Module::Build::Compat - Compatibility with ExtUtils::MakeMaker
451
bb4e9162
YST
452=head1 SYNOPSIS
453
454 # In a Build.PL :
455 use Module::Build;
456 my $build = Module::Build->new
457 ( module_name => 'Foo::Bar',
458 license => 'perl',
613f422f 459 create_makefile_pl => 'traditional' );

461
462
463=head1 DESCRIPTION
464
23837600 465Because C<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> has been the standard way to distribute
bb4e9162 466modules for a long time, many tools (CPAN.pm, or your system
23837600 467administrator) may expect to find a working F<Makefile.PL> in every
bb4e9162 468distribution they download from CPAN. If you want to throw them a
23837600
DG
469bone, you can use C<Module::Build::Compat> to automatically generate a
470F<Makefile.PL> for you, in one of several different styles.
bb4e9162 471
23837600
DG
472C<Module::Build::Compat> also provides some code that helps out the
473F<Makefile.PL> at runtime.

475
476=head1 METHODS
477
478=over 4
479
480=item create_makefile_pl($style, $build)
481
23837600
DG
482Creates a F<Makefile.PL> in the current directory in one of several
483styles, based on the supplied C<Module::Build> object C<$build>. This is
bb4e9162 484typically controlled by passing the desired style as the
23837600
DG
485C<create_makefile_pl> parameter to C<Module::Build>'s C<new()> method;
486the F<Makefile.PL> will then be automatically created during the
bb4e9162
YST
487C<distdir> action.
488
489The currently supported styles are:
490
491=over 4
492
613f422f
DG
493=item traditional
494
495A F<Makefile.PL> will be created in the "traditional" style, i.e. it will
496use C<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> and won't rely on C<Module::Build> at all.
497In order to create the F<Makefile.PL>, we'll include the C<requires> and
498C<build_requires> dependencies as the C<PREREQ_PM> parameter.
499
500You don't want to use this style if during the C<perl Build.PL> stage
501you ask the user questions, or do some auto-sensing about the user's
502environment, or if you subclass C<Module::Build> to do some
503customization, because the vanilla F<Makefile.PL> won't do any of that.
504
bb4e9162
YST
505=item small
506
23837600
DG
507A small F<Makefile.PL> will be created that passes all functionality
508through to the F<Build.PL> script in the same directory. The user must
509already have C<Module::Build> installed in order to use this, or else
bb4e9162
YST
510they'll get a module-not-found error.
511
613f422f 512=item passthrough (DEPRECATED)
bb4e9162 513
23837600 514This is just like the C<small> option above, but if C<Module::Build> is
bb4e9162
YST
515not already installed on the user's system, the script will offer to
516use C<CPAN.pm> to download it and install it before continuing with
517the build.
518
613f422f
DG
519This option has been deprecated and may be removed in a future version
520of Module::Build. Modern CPAN.pm and CPANPLUS will recognize the
521C<configure_requires> metadata property and install Module::Build before
522running Build.PL if Module::Build is listed and Module::Build now
523adds itself to configure_requires by default.
bb4e9162 524
613f422f
DG
525Perl 5.10.1 includes C<configure_requires> support. In the future, when
526C<configure_requires> support is deemed sufficiently widespread, the
527C<passthrough> style will be removed.

531=item run_build_pl(args => \@ARGV)
532
23837600 533This method runs the F<Build.PL> script, passing it any arguments the
bb4e9162 534user may have supplied to the C<perl Makefile.PL> command. Because
23837600 535C<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> and C<Module::Build> accept different arguments, this
bb4e9162
YST
536method also performs some translation between the two.
537
538C<run_build_pl()> accepts the following named parameters:
539
540=over 4
541
542=item args
543
544The C<args> parameter specifies the parameters that would usually
545appear on the command line of the C<perl Makefile.PL> command -
546typically you'll just pass a reference to C<@ARGV>.
547
548=item script
549
550This is the filename of the script to run - it defaults to C<Build.PL>.
551
552=back
553
554=item write_makefile()
555
23837600
DG
556This method writes a 'dummy' F<Makefile> that will pass all commands
557through to the corresponding C<Module::Build> actions.
bb4e9162
YST
558
559C<write_makefile()> accepts the following named parameters:
560
561=over 4
562
563=item makefile
564
565The name of the file to write - defaults to the string C<Makefile>.

571
572=head1 SCENARIOS
573
574So, some common scenarios are:
575
576=over 4
577
578=item 1.
579
23837600
DG
580Just include a F<Build.PL> script (without a F<Makefile.PL>
581script), and give installation directions in a F<README> or F<INSTALL>
bb4e9162 582document explaining how to install the module. In particular, explain
23837600 583that the user must install C<Module::Build> before installing your
bb4e9162
YST
584module.
585
586Note that if you do this, you may make things easier for yourself, but
587harder for people with older versions of CPAN or CPANPLUS on their
588system, because those tools generally only understand the
589F<Makefile.PL>/C<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> way of doing things.
590
591=item 2.
592
23837600 593Include a F<Build.PL> script and a "traditional" F<Makefile.PL>,
bb4e9162 594created either manually or with C<create_makefile_pl()>. Users won't
23837600
DG
595ever have to install C<Module::Build> if they use the F<Makefile.PL>, but
596they won't get to take advantage of C<Module::Build>'s extra features
bb4e9162
YST
597either.
598
94410036 599For good measure, of course, test both the F<Makefile.PL> and the
bb4e9162
YST
600F<Build.PL> before shipping.
601
602=item 3.
603
23837600
DG
604Include a F<Build.PL> script and a "pass-through" F<Makefile.PL>
605built using C<Module::Build::Compat>. This will mean that people can
bb4e9162
YST
606continue to use the "old" installation commands, and they may never
607notice that it's actually doing something else behind the scenes. It
608will also mean that your installation process is compatible with older
609versions of tools like CPAN and CPANPLUS.
