-ExtUtils::MakeMaker - create an extension Makefile
+ExtUtils::MakeMaker - Create a module Makefile
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=head2 How To Write A Makefile.PL
-The short answer is: Don't.
-
- Always begin with h2xs.
- Always begin with h2xs!
- ALWAYS BEGIN WITH H2XS!
-
-even if you're not building around a header file, and even if you
-don't have an XS component.
-
-Run h2xs(1) before you start thinking about writing a module. For so
-called pm-only modules that consist of C<*.pm> files only, h2xs has
-the C<-X> switch. This will generate dummy files of all kinds that are
-useful for the module developer.
-
-The medium answer is:
-
- use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
- WriteMakefile( NAME => "Foo::Bar" );
+See ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial.
The long answer is the rest of the manpage :-)
The Makefile to be produced may be altered by adding arguments of the
form C<KEY=VALUE>. E.g.
- perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp/myperl5
+ perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=~
Other interesting targets in the generated Makefile are
=head2 make test
MakeMaker checks for the existence of a file named F<test.pl> in the
-current directory and if it exists it adds commands to the test target
-of the generated Makefile that will execute the script with the proper
-set of perl C<-I> options.

perl -le 'print join $/, @INC'
+Sometimes older versions of the module you're installing live in other
+directories in @INC. Because Perl loads the first version of a module it
+finds, not the newest, you might accidentally get one of these older
+versions even after installing a brand new version. To delete I<all other
+versions of the module you're installing> (not simply older ones) set the
+C<UNINST> variable.
+
+ make install UNINST=1
+
+
+=head2 INSTALL_BASE
+
+INSTALL_BASE can be passed into Makefile.PL to change where your
+module will be installed. INSTALL_BASE is more like what everyone
+else calls "prefix" than PREFIX is.
+
+To have everything installed in your home directory, do the following.
+
+ # Unix users, INSTALL_BASE=~ works fine
+ perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/path/to/your/home/dir
+
+Like PREFIX, it sets several INSTALL* attributes at once. Unlike
+PREFIX it is easy to predict where the module will end up. The
+installation pattern looks like this:
+
+ INSTALLARCHLIB INSTALL_BASE/lib/perl5/$Config{archname}
+ INSTALLPRIVLIB INSTALL_BASE/lib/perl5
+ INSTALLBIN INSTALL_BASE/bin
+ INSTALLSCRIPT INSTALL_BASE/bin
+ INSTALLMAN1DIR INSTALL_BASE/man/man1
+ INSTALLMAN3DIR INSTALL_BASE/man/man3
+
+INSTALL_BASE in MakeMaker and C<--install_base> in Module::Build (as
+of 0.28) install to the same location. If you want MakeMaker and
+Module::Build to install to the same location simply set INSTALL_BASE
+and C<--install_base> to the same location.
+
+INSTALL_BASE was added in 6.31.
+
=head2 PREFIX and LIB attribute
PREFIX and LIB can be used to set several INSTALL* attributes in one
-go. The quickest way to install a module in a non-standard place might
-be
+go. Here's an example for installing into your home directory.
- perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~
+ # Unix users, PREFIX=~ works fine
+ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/path/to/your/home/dir
This will install all files in the module under your home directory,
with man pages and libraries going into an appropriate place (usually
-~/man and ~/lib).
+~/man and ~/lib). How the exact location is determined is complicated
+and depends on how your Perl was configured. INSTALL_BASE works more
+like what other build systems call "prefix" than PREFIX and we
+recommend you use that instead.
Another way to specify many INSTALL directories with a single
parameter is LIB.
=head2 Using Attributes and Parameters
-The following attributes can be specified as arguments to WriteMakefile()
-or as NAME=VALUE pairs on the command line:
+The following attributes may be specified as arguments to WriteMakefile()

Something like C<"-DHAVE_UNISTD_H">
+=item DESTDIR
+
+This is the root directory into which the code will be installed. It
+I<prepends itself to the normal prefix>. For example, if your code
+would normally go into F</usr/local/lib/perl> you could set DESTDIR=~/tmp/
+and installation would go into F<~/tmp/usr/local/lib/perl>.
+
+This is primarily of use for people who repackage Perl modules.
+
+NOTE: Due to the nature of make, it is important that you put the trailing
+slash on your DESTDIR. F<~/tmp/> not F<~/tmp>.
+
=item DIR
Ref to array of subdirectories containing Makefile.PLs e.g. [ 'sdbm'
=item DISTNAME
-Your name for distributing the package (by tar file). This defaults to

+
+Your name for distributing the package with the version number
+included. This is used by 'make dist' to name the resulting archive

+
+Defaults to DISTNAME-VERSION.
+

+
+On some OS's where . has special meaning VERSION_SYM may be used in
+place of VERSION.

+
+Any special flags that might need to be passed to ld to create a

=item LINKTYPE
'static' or 'dynamic' (default unless usedl=undef in
config.sh). Should only be used to force static linking (also see
linkext below).
+=item MAKE
+
+Variant of make you intend to run the generated Makefile with. This
+parameter lets Makefile.PL know what make quirks to account for when
+generating the Makefile.
+
+MakeMaker also honors the MAKE environment variable. This parameter
+takes precedent.
+
+Currently the only significant values are 'dmake' and 'nmake' for Windows
+users.
+
+Defaults to $Config{make}.
+
=item MAKEAPERL
Boolean which tells MakeMaker, that it should include the rules to
make a perl. This is handled automatically as a switch by
MakeMaker. The user normally does not need it.
-=item MAKEFILE
+=item MAKEFILE_OLD
+
+When 'make clean' or similar is run, the $(FIRST_MAKEFILE) will be

=item MAN1PODS
If it is intended, that a new perl binary be produced, this variable
may hold a name for that binary. Defaults to perl
+=item META_ADD
+
+=item META_MERGE
+
+A hashrefs of items to add to the F<META.yml>.
+
+They differ in how they behave if they have the same key as the
+default metadata. META_ADD will override the default value with it's
+own. META_MERGE will merge its value with the default.
+
+Unless you want to override the defaults, prefer META_MERGE so as to
+get the advantage of any future defaults.
+
+=item MIN_PERL_VERSION
+
+The minimum required version of Perl for this distribution.

In general, any generated Makefile checks for the current version of
system resources, error detection, memory usage reporting, catchable failure
of memory allocations, etc.

+
+Directory under which core modules are to be installed.

=item PERLRUN
Use this instead of $(PERL) when you wish to run perl. It will set up
=item PL_FILES
-Ref to hash of files to be processed as perl programs. MakeMaker
-will default to any found *.PL file (except Makefile.PL) being keys
-and the basename of the file being the value. E.g.
+MakeMaker can run programs to generate files for you at build time.
+By default any file named *.PL (except Makefile.PL and Build.PL) in
+the top level directory will be assumed to be a Perl program and run
+passing its own basename in as an argument. For example...
+
+ perl foo.PL foo
+
+This behavior can be overridden by supplying your own set of files to
+search. PL_FILES accepts a hash ref, the key being the file to run
+and the value is passed in as the first argument when the PL file is run.
+
+ PL_FILES => {'bin/foobar.PL' => 'bin/foobar'}
+
+Would run bin/foobar.PL like this:
+
+ perl bin/foobar.PL bin/foobar
- {'foobar.PL' => 'foobar'}
+If multiple files from one program are desired an array ref can be used.
-The *.PL files are expected to produce output to the target files
-themselves. If multiple files can be generated from the same *.PL
-file then the value in the hash can be a reference to an array of
-target file names. E.g.
+ PL_FILES => {'bin/foobar.PL' => [qw(bin/foobar1 bin/foobar2)]}
+
+In this case the program will be run multiple times using each target file.
+
+ perl bin/foobar.PL bin/foobar1
+ perl bin/foobar.PL bin/foobar2
+
+PL files are normally run B<after> pm_to_blib and include INST_LIB and
+INST_ARCH in its C<@INC> so the just built modules can be
+accessed... unless the PL file is making a module (or anything else in
+PM) in which case it is run B<before> pm_to_blib and does not include
+INST_LIB and INST_ARCH in its C<@INC>. This apparently odd behavior
+is there for backwards compatibility (and its somewhat DWIM).

+=item PREREQ_FATAL
+
+Bool. If this parameter is true, failing to have the required modules

+It is I<extremely> rare to have to use C<PREREQ_FATAL>. Its use by module

+meta-data file has been introduced, F<META.yml>.

+F<META.yml> is a YAML document (see http://www.yaml.org) containing
+basic information about the module (name, version, prerequisites...)
+in an easy to read format. The format is developed and defined by the
+Module::Build developers (see
+http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec.html)

+MakeMaker will automatically generate a F<META.yml> file for you and
+add it to your F<MANIFEST> as part of the 'distdir' target (and thus
