331 | The extension you are trying to build apparently is rather old and |
332 | most probably outdated. We detect that from the fact, that a |
333 | subroutine "writeMakefile" is called, and this subroutine is not |
334 | supported anymore since about October 1994. |
40000a8c |
335 | |
4633a7c4 |
336 | Please contact the author or look into CPAN (details about CPAN can be |
337 | found in the FAQ and at http:/www.perl.com) for a more recent version |
338 | of the extension. If you're really desperate, you can try to change |
339 | the subroutine name from writeMakefile to WriteMakefile and rerun |
340 | 'perl Makefile.PL', but you're most probably left alone, when you do |
341 | so. |

978 | =head1 NAME |
979 | |
479d2113 |
980 | ExtUtils::MakeMaker - Create a module Makefile |
005c1a0e |
981 | |
982 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
983 | |
e0678a30 |
984 | use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; |
005c1a0e |
985 | |
e0678a30 |
986 | WriteMakefile( ATTRIBUTE => VALUE [, ...] ); |
8e07c86e |
987 | |
005c1a0e |
988 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
989 | |
990 | This utility is designed to write a Makefile for an extension module |
991 | from a Makefile.PL. It is based on the Makefile.SH model provided by |
992 | Andy Dougherty and the perl5-porters. |
993 | |
994 | It splits the task of generating the Makefile into several subroutines |
995 | that can be individually overridden. Each subroutine returns the text |
996 | it wishes to have written to the Makefile. |
997 | |
f1387719 |
998 | MakeMaker is object oriented. Each directory below the current |
e0678a30 |
999 | directory that contains a Makefile.PL is treated as a separate |
f1387719 |
1000 | object. This makes it possible to write an unlimited number of |
1001 | Makefiles with a single invocation of WriteMakefile(). |
8e07c86e |

bab2b58e |
1007 | The long answer is the rest of the manpage :-) |
005c1a0e |
1008 | |
1009 | =head2 Default Makefile Behaviour |
1010 | |
f1387719 |
1011 | The generated Makefile enables the user of the extension to invoke |
005c1a0e |
1012 | |
1013 | perl Makefile.PL # optionally "perl Makefile.PL verbose" |
1014 | make |
8e07c86e |
1015 | make test # optionally set TEST_VERBOSE=1 |
1016 | make install # See below |
005c1a0e |
1017 | |
1018 | The Makefile to be produced may be altered by adding arguments of the |
e05e23b1 |
1019 | form C<KEY=VALUE>. E.g. |
005c1a0e |
1020 | |
e05e23b1 |
1021 | perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp/myperl5 |
005c1a0e |
1022 | |
1023 | Other interesting targets in the generated Makefile are |
1024 | |
1025 | make config # to check if the Makefile is up-to-date |
8e07c86e |
1026 | make clean # delete local temp files (Makefile gets renamed) |
1027 | make realclean # delete derived files (including ./blib) |
e05e23b1 |
1028 | make ci # check in all the files in the MANIFEST file |
005c1a0e |
1029 | make dist # see below the Distribution Support section |
1030 | |
e05e23b1 |
1031 | =head2 make test |
1032 | |
bab2b58e |
1033 | MakeMaker checks for the existence of a file named F<test.pl> in the |
d5d4ec93 |
1034 | current directory and if it exists it execute the script with the |
1035 | proper set of perl C<-I> options. |
e05e23b1 |
1036 | |
1037 | MakeMaker also checks for any files matching glob("t/*.t"). It will |
d5d4ec93 |
1038 | execute all matching files in alphabetical order via the |
1039 | L<Test::Harness> module with the C<-I> switches set correctly. |
1040 | |
1041 | If you'd like to see the raw output of your tests, set the |
1042 | C<TEST_VERBOSE> variable to true. |
1043 | |
1044 | make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 |
e05e23b1 |
1045 | |
bab2b58e |
1046 | =head2 make testdb |
1047 | |
1048 | A useful variation of the above is the target C<testdb>. It runs the |
1049 | test under the Perl debugger (see L<perldebug>). If the file |
1050 | F<test.pl> exists in the current directory, it is used for the test. |
1051 | |
d5d4ec93 |
1052 | If you want to debug some other testfile, set the C<TEST_FILE> variable |
bab2b58e |
1053 | thusly: |
1054 | |
1055 | make testdb TEST_FILE=t/mytest.t |
1056 | |
1057 | By default the debugger is called using C<-d> option to perl. If you |
d5d4ec93 |
1058 | want to specify some other option, set the C<TESTDB_SW> variable: |
bab2b58e |
1059 | |
1060 | make testdb TESTDB_SW=-Dx |
1061 | |
e05e23b1 |
1062 | =head2 make install |
005c1a0e |
1063 | |
8e07c86e |
1064 | make alone puts all relevant files into directories that are named by |
f6d6199c |
1065 | the macros INST_LIB, INST_ARCHLIB, INST_SCRIPT, INST_MAN1DIR and |
1066 | INST_MAN3DIR. All these default to something below ./blib if you are |
1067 | I<not> building below the perl source directory. If you I<are> |
1068 | building below the perl source, INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB default to |
1069 | ../../lib, and INST_SCRIPT is not defined. |
005c1a0e |
1070 | |
e05e23b1 |
1071 | The I<install> target of the generated Makefile copies the files found |
1072 | below each of the INST_* directories to their INSTALL* |
1073 | counterparts. Which counterparts are chosen depends on the setting of |
1074 | INSTALLDIRS according to the following table: |
005c1a0e |
1075 | |
f6d6199c |
1076 | INSTALLDIRS set to |
5c161494 |
1077 | perl site vendor |
e05e23b1 |
1078 | |
479d2113 |
1079 | PERLPREFIX SITEPREFIX VENDORPREFIX |
5c161494 |
1080 | INST_ARCHLIB INSTALLARCHLIB INSTALLSITEARCH INSTALLVENDORARCH |
1081 | INST_LIB INSTALLPRIVLIB INSTALLSITELIB INSTALLVENDORLIB |
1082 | INST_BIN INSTALLBIN INSTALLSITEBIN INSTALLVENDORBIN |
1083 | INST_SCRIPT INSTALLSCRIPT INSTALLSCRIPT INSTALLSCRIPT |
1084 | INST_MAN1DIR INSTALLMAN1DIR INSTALLSITEMAN1DIR INSTALLVENDORMAN1DIR |
1085 | INST_MAN3DIR INSTALLMAN3DIR INSTALLSITEMAN3DIR INSTALLVENDORMAN3DIR |
005c1a0e |
1086 | |
8e07c86e |
1087 | The INSTALL... macros in turn default to their %Config |
1088 | ($Config{installprivlib}, $Config{installarchlib}, etc.) counterparts. |
005c1a0e |
1089 | |
3b03c0f3 |
1090 | You can check the values of these variables on your system with |
1091 | |
bab2b58e |
1092 | perl '-V:install.*' |
3b03c0f3 |
1093 | |
f1387719 |
1094 | And to check the sequence in which the library directories are |
1095 | searched by perl, run |
005c1a0e |
1096 | |
f1387719 |
1097 | perl -le 'print join $/, @INC' |
005c1a0e |
1098 | |
a7d1454b |
1099 | Sometimes older versions of the module you're installing live in other |
1100 | directories in @INC. Because Perl loads the first version of a module it |
1101 | finds, not the newest, you might accidentally get one of these older |
1102 | versions even after installing a brand new version. To delete I<all other |
1103 | versions of the module you're installing> (not simply older ones) set the |
1104 | C<UNINST> variable. |
1105 | |
1106 | make install UNINST=1 |
1107 | |
005c1a0e |
1108 | |
bab2b58e |
1109 | =head2 PREFIX and LIB attribute |
1110 | |
1111 | PREFIX and LIB can be used to set several INSTALL* attributes in one |
1112 | go. The quickest way to install a module in a non-standard place might |
1113 | be |
1114 | |
f6d6199c |
1115 | perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~ |
005c1a0e |
1116 | |
f6d6199c |
1117 | This will install all files in the module under your home directory, |
1118 | with man pages and libraries going into an appropriate place (usually |
1119 | ~/man and ~/lib). |
bab2b58e |
1120 | |
1121 | Another way to specify many INSTALL directories with a single |
f6d6199c |
1122 | parameter is LIB. |
005c1a0e |
1123 | |
f6d6199c |
1124 | perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/lib |
005c1a0e |

e35b8f9e |
1130 | by perl by default, nor by make. |

1132 | Conflicts between parameters LIB, PREFIX and the various INSTALL* |
1133 | arguments are resolved so that: |

1137 | =item * |
1138 | |
1139 | setting LIB overrides any setting of INSTALLPRIVLIB, INSTALLARCHLIB, |
1140 | INSTALLSITELIB, INSTALLSITEARCH (and they are not affected by PREFIX); |
1141 | |
1142 | =item * |
1143 | |
1144 | without LIB, setting PREFIX replaces the initial C<$Config{prefix}> |
1145 | part of those INSTALL* arguments, even if the latter are explicitly |
1146 | set (but are set to still start with C<$Config{prefix}>). |

1150 | If the user has superuser privileges, and is not working on AFS or |
1151 | relatives, then the defaults for INSTALLPRIVLIB, INSTALLARCHLIB, |
1152 | INSTALLSCRIPT, etc. will be appropriate, and this incantation will be |
1153 | the best: |

1157 | make test |
005c1a0e |
1158 | make install |
1159 | |
8e07c86e |
1160 | make install per default writes some documentation of what has been |
e05e23b1 |
1161 | done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This feature |
1162 | can be bypassed by calling make pure_install. |
8e07c86e |
1163 | |
1164 | =head2 AFS users |
1165 | |
1166 | will have to specify the installation directories as these most |
1167 | probably have changed since perl itself has been installed. They will |
1168 | have to do this by calling |
1169 | |
e05e23b1 |
1170 | perl Makefile.PL INSTALLSITELIB=/afs/here/today \ |
f6d6199c |
1171 | INSTALLSCRIPT=/afs/there/now INSTALLMAN3DIR=/afs/for/manpages |
8e07c86e |
1172 | make |
1173 | |
e05e23b1 |
1174 | Be careful to repeat this procedure every time you recompile an |
1175 | extension, unless you are sure the AFS installation directories are |
1176 | still valid. |

8e07c86e |
1178 | =head2 Static Linking of a new Perl Binary |
005c1a0e |
1179 | |
1180 | An extension that is built with the above steps is ready to use on |
1181 | systems supporting dynamic loading. On systems that do not support |
1182 | dynamic loading, any newly created extension has to be linked together |
1183 | with the available resources. MakeMaker supports the linking process |
1184 | by creating appropriate targets in the Makefile whenever an extension |
1185 | is built. You can invoke the corresponding section of the makefile with |
1186 | |
1187 | make perl |
1188 | |
1189 | That produces a new perl binary in the current directory with all |
da7f727a |
1190 | extensions linked in that can be found in INST_ARCHLIB, SITELIBEXP, |
e05e23b1 |
1191 | and PERL_ARCHLIB. To do that, MakeMaker writes a new Makefile, on |
1192 | UNIX, this is called Makefile.aperl (may be system dependent). If you |
1193 | want to force the creation of a new perl, it is recommended, that you |
1194 | delete this Makefile.aperl, so the directories are searched-through |
1195 | for linkable libraries again. |
005c1a0e |
1196 | |
1197 | The binary can be installed into the directory where perl normally |
1198 | resides on your machine with |
1199 | |
1200 | make inst_perl |
1201 | |
1202 | To produce a perl binary with a different name than C<perl>, either say |
1203 | |
1204 | perl Makefile.PL MAP_TARGET=myperl |
1205 | make myperl |
1206 | make inst_perl |
1207 | |
1208 | or say |
1209 | |
1210 | perl Makefile.PL |
1211 | make myperl MAP_TARGET=myperl |
1212 | make inst_perl MAP_TARGET=myperl |
1213 | |
1214 | In any case you will be prompted with the correct invocation of the |
1215 | C<inst_perl> target that installs the new binary into INSTALLBIN. |
1216 | |
8e07c86e |
1217 | make inst_perl per default writes some documentation of what has been |
1218 | done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This |
1219 | can be bypassed by calling make pure_inst_perl. |
005c1a0e |
1220 | |
e05e23b1 |
1221 | Warning: the inst_perl: target will most probably overwrite your |
1222 | existing perl binary. Use with care! |
005c1a0e |
1223 | |
8e07c86e |
1224 | Sometimes you might want to build a statically linked perl although |
1225 | your system supports dynamic loading. In this case you may explicitly |
1226 | set the linktype with the invocation of the Makefile.PL or make: |
1227 | |
1228 | perl Makefile.PL LINKTYPE=static # recommended |
1229 | |
1230 | or |
1231 | |
1232 | make LINKTYPE=static # works on most systems |
1233 | |
005c1a0e |
1234 | =head2 Determination of Perl Library and Installation Locations |
1235 | |
1236 | MakeMaker needs to know, or to guess, where certain things are |
e05e23b1 |
1237 | located. Especially INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB (where to put the files |
1238 | during the make(1) run), PERL_LIB and PERL_ARCHLIB (where to read |
1239 | existing modules from), and PERL_INC (header files and C<libperl*.*>). |
005c1a0e |
1240 | |
1241 | Extensions may be built either using the contents of the perl source |
e05e23b1 |
1242 | directory tree or from the installed perl library. The recommended way |
1243 | is to build extensions after you have run 'make install' on perl |
1244 | itself. You can do that in any directory on your hard disk that is not |
1245 | below the perl source tree. The support for extensions below the ext |
1246 | directory of the perl distribution is only good for the standard |
1247 | extensions that come with perl. |
005c1a0e |
1248 | |
1249 | If an extension is being built below the C<ext/> directory of the perl |
e05e23b1 |
1250 | source then MakeMaker will set PERL_SRC automatically (e.g., |
1251 | C<../..>). If PERL_SRC is defined and the extension is recognized as |
1252 | a standard extension, then other variables default to the following: |
005c1a0e |
1253 | |
1254 | PERL_INC = PERL_SRC |
1255 | PERL_LIB = PERL_SRC/lib |
1256 | PERL_ARCHLIB = PERL_SRC/lib |
1257 | INST_LIB = PERL_LIB |
1258 | INST_ARCHLIB = PERL_ARCHLIB |
1259 | |
1260 | If an extension is being built away from the perl source then MakeMaker |
1261 | will leave PERL_SRC undefined and default to using the installed copy |
1262 | of the perl library. The other variables default to the following: |
1263 | |
e05e23b1 |
1264 | PERL_INC = $archlibexp/CORE |
1265 | PERL_LIB = $privlibexp |
1266 | PERL_ARCHLIB = $archlibexp |
1267 | INST_LIB = ./blib/lib |
1268 | INST_ARCHLIB = ./blib/arch |
005c1a0e |
1269 | |
1270 | If perl has not yet been installed then PERL_SRC can be defined on the |
1271 | command line as shown in the previous section. |
1272 | |
005c1a0e |
1273 | |
f1387719 |
1274 | =head2 Which architecture dependent directory? |
005c1a0e |
1275 | |
f1387719 |
1276 | If you don't want to keep the defaults for the INSTALL* macros, |
1277 | MakeMaker helps you to minimize the typing needed: the usual |
1278 | relationship between INSTALLPRIVLIB and INSTALLARCHLIB is determined |
1279 | by Configure at perl compilation time. MakeMaker supports the user who |
1280 | sets INSTALLPRIVLIB. If INSTALLPRIVLIB is set, but INSTALLARCHLIB not, |
1281 | then MakeMaker defaults the latter to be the same subdirectory of |
1282 | INSTALLPRIVLIB as Configure decided for the counterparts in %Config , |
1283 | otherwise it defaults to INSTALLPRIVLIB. The same relationship holds |
1284 | for INSTALLSITELIB and INSTALLSITEARCH. |
005c1a0e |
1285 | |
f1387719 |
1286 | MakeMaker gives you much more freedom than needed to configure |
1287 | internal variables and get different results. It is worth to mention, |
1288 | that make(1) also lets you configure most of the variables that are |
1289 | used in the Makefile. But in the majority of situations this will not |
a7665c5e |
1290 | be necessary, and should only be done if the author of a package |
f1387719 |
1291 | recommends it (or you know what you're doing). |

1295 | The following attributes may be specified as arguments to WriteMakefile() |
1296 | or as NAME=VALUE pairs on the command line. |
005c1a0e |

1300 | =item ABSTRACT |
1301 | |
1302 | One line description of the module. Will be included in PPD file. |
1303 | |
1304 | =item ABSTRACT_FROM |
1305 | |
1306 | Name of the file that contains the package description. MakeMaker looks |
1307 | for a line in the POD matching /^($package\s-\s)(.*)/. This is typically |
1308 | the first line in the "=head1 NAME" section. $2 becomes the abstract. |
1309 | |
e35b8f9e |
1310 | =item AUTHOR |
1311 | |
1312 | String containing name (and email address) of package author(s). Is used |
1313 | in PPD (Perl Package Description) files for PPM (Perl Package Manager). |
1314 | |
875fa795 |
1315 | =item BINARY_LOCATION |
1316 | |
1317 | Used when creating PPD files for binary packages. It can be set to a |
1318 | full or relative path or URL to the binary archive for a particular |
1319 | architecture. For example: |
1320 | |
f6d6199c |
1321 | perl Makefile.PL BINARY_LOCATION=x86/Agent.tar.gz |
875fa795 |
1322 | |
1323 | builds a PPD package that references a binary of the C<Agent> package, |
20e08411 |
1324 | located in the C<x86> directory relative to the PPD itself. |
8e07c86e |
1325 | |
864a5fa8 |
1326 | =item C |
8e07c86e |
1327 | |
864a5fa8 |
1328 | Ref to array of *.c file names. Initialised from a directory scan |
1329 | and the values portion of the XS attribute hash. This is not |
1330 | currently used by MakeMaker but may be handy in Makefile.PLs. |
8e07c86e |
1331 | |
84902520 |
1332 | =item CCFLAGS |
1333 | |
1334 | String that will be included in the compiler call command line between |
1335 | the arguments INC and OPTIMIZE. |

864a5fa8 |
1337 | =item CONFIG |
8e07c86e |
1338 | |
864a5fa8 |
1339 | Arrayref. E.g. [qw(archname manext)] defines ARCHNAME & MANEXT from |
1340 | config.sh. MakeMaker will add to CONFIG the following values anyway: |
1341 | ar |
1342 | cc |
1343 | cccdlflags |
1344 | ccdlflags |
1345 | dlext |
1346 | dlsrc |

8e07c86e |
1357 | |
1358 | =item CONFIGURE |
1359 | |
e05e23b1 |
1360 | CODE reference. The subroutine should return a hash reference. The |
1fef88e7 |
1361 | hash may contain further attributes, e.g. {LIBS =E<gt> ...}, that have to |
8e07c86e |
1362 | be determined by some evaluation method. |

864a5fa8 |
1364 | =item DEFINE |
8e07c86e |
1365 | |

8e07c86e |
1367 | |
479d2113 |
1368 | =item DESTDIR |
1369 | |
1370 | This is the root directory into which the code will be installed. It |
1371 | I<prepends itself to the normal prefix>. For example, if your code |
531e2ba1 |
1372 | would normally go into /usr/local/lib/perl you could set DESTDIR=/tmp/ |
479d2113 |
1373 | and installation would go into /tmp/usr/local/lib/perl. |
1374 | |
1375 | This is primarily of use for people who repackage Perl modules. |
1376 | |
531e2ba1 |
1377 | NOTE: Due to the nature of make, it is important that you put the trailing |
1378 | slash on your DESTDIR. "/tmp/" not "/tmp". |
479d2113 |
1379 | |
864a5fa8 |
1380 | =item DIR |
8e07c86e |

1382 | Ref to array of subdirectories containing Makefile.PLs e.g. [ 'sdbm' |
1383 | ] in ext/SDBM_File |
8e07c86e |

864a5fa8 |
1385 | =item DISTNAME |
8e07c86e |
1386 | |
479d2113 |
1387 | A safe filename for the package. |
1388 | |
1389 | Defaults to NAME above but with :: replaced with -. |
1390 | |
1391 | For example, Foo::Bar becomes Foo-Bar. |
1392 | |
1393 | =item DISTVNAME |
1394 | |
1395 | Your name for distributing the package with the version number |
1396 | included. This is used by 'make dist' to name the resulting archive |
1397 | file. |
1398 | |
1399 | Defaults to DISTNAME-VERSION. |
1400 | |
1401 | For example, version 1.04 of Foo::Bar becomes Foo-Bar-1.04. |
1402 | |
1403 | On some OS's where . has special meaning VERSION_SYM may be used in |
1404 | place of VERSION. |
8e07c86e |
1405 | |
864a5fa8 |
1406 | =item DL_FUNCS |
8e07c86e |
1407 | |
875fa795 |
1408 | Hashref of symbol names for routines to be made available as universal |
1409 | symbols. Each key/value pair consists of the package name and an |
1410 | array of routine names in that package. Used only under AIX, OS/2, |
1411 | VMS and Win32 at present. The routine names supplied will be expanded |
1412 | in the same way as XSUB names are expanded by the XS() macro. |
1413 | Defaults to |
8e07c86e |
1414 | |
864a5fa8 |
1415 | {"$(NAME)" => ["boot_$(NAME)" ] } |
8e07c86e |
1416 | |
864a5fa8 |
1417 | e.g. |
8e07c86e |
1418 | |
864a5fa8 |
1419 | {"RPC" => [qw( boot_rpcb rpcb_gettime getnetconfigent )], |

1422 | Please see the L<ExtUtils::Mksymlists> documentation for more information |
1423 | about the DL_FUNCS, DL_VARS and FUNCLIST attributes. |
1424 | |
864a5fa8 |
1425 | =item DL_VARS |
8e07c86e |
1426 | |
875fa795 |
1427 | Array of symbol names for variables to be made available as universal symbols. |
1428 | Used only under AIX, OS/2, VMS and Win32 at present. Defaults to []. |
1429 | (e.g. [ qw(Foo_version Foo_numstreams Foo_tree ) ]) |
8e07c86e |
1430 | |
f1387719 |
1431 | =item EXCLUDE_EXT |
1432 | |
1433 | Array of extension names to exclude when doing a static build. This |
1434 | is ignored if INCLUDE_EXT is present. Consult INCLUDE_EXT for more |
1435 | details. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ] ) |
1436 | |
1437 | This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the |
de592821 |
1438 | command line: perl Makefile.PL EXCLUDE_EXT='Socket Safe' |
f1387719 |
1439 | |
864a5fa8 |
1440 | =item EXE_FILES |
8e07c86e |
1441 | |
864a5fa8 |
1442 | Ref to array of executable files. The files will be copied to the |
f1387719 |
1443 | INST_SCRIPT directory. Make realclean will delete them from there |
864a5fa8 |
1444 | again. |
8e07c86e |
1445 | |
2530b651 |
1446 | If your executables start with something like #!perl or |
1447 | #!/usr/bin/perl MakeMaker will change this to the path of the perl |
1448 | 'Makefile.PL' was invoked with so the programs will be sure to run |
1449 | properly even if perl is not in /usr/bin/perl. |
1450 | |
864a5fa8 |
1451 | =item FIRST_MAKEFILE |
1452 | |
479d2113 |
1453 | The name of the Makefile to be produced. This is used for the second |
1454 | Makefile that will be produced for the MAP_TARGET. |
1455 | |
1456 | Defaults to 'Makefile' or 'Descrip.MMS' on VMS. |
1457 | |
1458 | (Note: we couldn't use MAKEFILE because dmake uses this for something |
1459 | else). |
864a5fa8 |
1460 | |
1461 | =item FULLPERL |
8e07c86e |
1462 | |
75e2e551 |
1463 | Perl binary able to run this extension, load XS modules, etc... |
1464 | |
1465 | =item FULLPERLRUN |
1466 | |
1467 | Like PERLRUN, except it uses FULLPERL. |
1468 | |
1469 | =item FULLPERLRUNINST |
1470 | |
1471 | Like PERLRUNINST, except it uses FULLPERL. |
864a5fa8 |
1472 | |
762efda7 |
1473 | =item FUNCLIST |
1474 | |
1475 | This provides an alternate means to specify function names to be |
1476 | exported from the extension. Its value is a reference to an |
1477 | array of function names to be exported by the extension. These |
1478 | names are passed through unaltered to the linker options file. |
1479 | |
864a5fa8 |
1480 | =item H |
1481 | |
1482 | Ref to array of *.h file names. Similar to C. |
1483 | |
84902520 |
1484 | =item IMPORTS |
1485 | |
875fa795 |
1486 | This attribute is used to specify names to be imported into the |
69ff8adf |
1487 | extension. Takes a hash ref. |
1488 | |
1489 | It is only used on OS/2 and Win32. |
84902520 |
1490 | |
864a5fa8 |
1491 | =item INC |
1492 | |
1493 | Include file dirs eg: C<"-I/usr/5include -I/path/to/inc"> |
1494 | |
f1387719 |
1495 | =item INCLUDE_EXT |
1496 | |
1497 | Array of extension names to be included when doing a static build. |
1498 | MakeMaker will normally build with all of the installed extensions when |
1499 | doing a static build, and that is usually the desired behavior. If |
1500 | INCLUDE_EXT is present then MakeMaker will build only with those extensions |
1501 | which are explicitly mentioned. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ]) |
1502 | |
1503 | It is not necessary to mention DynaLoader or the current extension when |
1504 | filling in INCLUDE_EXT. If the INCLUDE_EXT is mentioned but is empty then |
1505 | only DynaLoader and the current extension will be included in the build. |
1506 | |
1507 | This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the |
de592821 |
1508 | command line: perl Makefile.PL INCLUDE_EXT='POSIX Socket Devel::Peek' |
f1387719 |
1509 | |
864a5fa8 |
1510 | =item INSTALLARCHLIB |
1511 | |
e05e23b1 |
1512 | Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this |
1513 | directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to perl. |
864a5fa8 |
1514 | |
1515 | =item INSTALLBIN |
1516 | |
5c161494 |
1517 | Directory to install binary files (e.g. tkperl) into if |
1518 | INSTALLDIRS=perl. |
e05e23b1 |
1519 | |
1520 | =item INSTALLDIRS |
1521 | |
5c161494 |
1522 | Determines which of the sets of installation directories to choose: |
1523 | perl, site or vendor. Defaults to site. |

1618 | |
1619 | Directory, where executable files should be installed during |
c3fed81c |
1620 | 'make'. Defaults to "./blib/script", just to have a dummy location during |

1630 | =item LDDLFLAGS |
1631 | |
1632 | Any special flags that might need to be passed to ld to create a |
1633 | shared library suitable for dynamic loading. It is up to the makefile |
1634 | to use it. (See L<Config/lddlflags>) |
1635 | |
1636 | Defaults to $Config{lddlflags}. |
1637 | |
864a5fa8 |
1638 | =item LDFROM |
8e07c86e |
1639 | |
69ff8adf |

e35b8f9e |
1646 | LIB should only be set at C<perl Makefile.PL> time but is allowed as a |
f6d6199c |
1647 | MakeMaker argument. It has the effect of setting both INSTALLPRIVLIB |
1648 | and INSTALLSITELIB to that value regardless any explicit setting of |
1649 | those arguments (or of PREFIX). INSTALLARCHLIB and INSTALLSITEARCH |
1650 | are set to the corresponding architecture subdirectory. |
bab2b58e |
1651 | |
762efda7 |
1652 | =item LIBPERL_A |
1653 | |
1654 | The filename of the perllibrary that will be used together with this |

1657 | =item LIBS |
1658 | |
1659 | An anonymous array of alternative library |
1660 | specifications to be searched for (in order) until |
864a5fa8 |
1661 | at least one library is found. E.g. |
8e07c86e |
1662 | |
1663 | 'LIBS' => ["-lgdbm", "-ldbm -lfoo", "-L/path -ldbm.nfs"] |
1664 | |
1665 | Mind, that any element of the array |
1666 | contains a complete set of arguments for the ld |
1667 | command. So do not specify |
1668 | |
1669 | 'LIBS' => ["-ltcl", "-ltk", "-lX11"] |
1670 | |
1671 | See ODBM_File/Makefile.PL for an example, where an array is needed. If |
1672 | you specify a scalar as in |
1673 | |
1674 | 'LIBS' => "-ltcl -ltk -lX11" |
1675 | |
1676 | MakeMaker will turn it into an array with one element. |
1677 | |
864a5fa8 |
1678 | =item LINKTYPE |
8e07c86e |
1679 | |
e05e23b1 |
1680 | 'static' or 'dynamic' (default unless usedl=undef in |
1681 | config.sh). Should only be used to force static linking (also see |
864a5fa8 |

8e07c86e |
1683 | |
864a5fa8 |
1684 | =item MAKEAPERL |
8e07c86e |
1685 | |
864a5fa8 |
1686 | Boolean which tells MakeMaker, that it should include the rules to |
1687 | make a perl. This is handled automatically as a switch by |
1688 | MakeMaker. The user normally does not need it. |
8e07c86e |
1689 | |
479d2113 |
1690 | =item MAKEFILE_OLD |
1691 | |
1692 | When 'make clean' or similar is run, the $(FIRST_MAKEFILE) will be |
1693 | backed up at this location. |
8e07c86e |
1694 | |
479d2113 |
1695 | Defaults to $(FIRST_MAKEFILE).old or $(FIRST_MAKEFILE)_old on VMS. |

1696 | |
864a5fa8 |
1697 | =item MAN1PODS |
8e07c86e |
1698 | |
864a5fa8 |
1699 | Hashref of pod-containing files. MakeMaker will default this to all |
1700 | EXE_FILES files that include POD directives. The files listed |
1701 | here will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested |
1702 | at Configure time. |
8e07c86e |
1703 | |
864a5fa8 |
1704 | =item MAN3PODS |
8e07c86e |
1705 | |
bfa2a9ad |
1706 | Hashref that assigns to *.pm and *.pod files the files into which the |
1707 | manpages are to be written. MakeMaker parses all *.pod and *.pm files |
1708 | for POD directives. Files that contain POD will be the default keys of |
1709 | the MAN3PODS hashref. These will then be converted to man pages during |
1710 | C<make> and will be installed during C<make install>. |
8e07c86e |
1711 | |
864a5fa8 |
1712 | =item MAP_TARGET |
8e07c86e |
1713 | |
864a5fa8 |
1714 | If it is intended, that a new perl binary be produced, this variable |
1715 | may hold a name for that binary. Defaults to perl |
8e07c86e |
1716 | |
864a5fa8 |
1717 | =item MYEXTLIB |
4633a7c4 |
1718 | |
864a5fa8 |
1719 | If the extension links to a library that it builds set this to the |
1720 | name of the library (see SDBM_File) |
4633a7c4 |
1721 | |
864a5fa8 |
1722 | =item NAME |
8e07c86e |
1723 | |
864a5fa8 |
1724 | Perl module name for this extension (DBD::Oracle). This will default |
1725 | to the directory name but should be explicitly defined in the |
1726 | Makefile.PL. |
8e07c86e |
1727 | |
864a5fa8 |
1728 | =item NEEDS_LINKING |
8e07c86e |
1729 | |
a7665c5e |
1730 | MakeMaker will figure out if an extension contains linkable code |
864a5fa8 |
1731 | anywhere down the directory tree, and will set this variable |
a7665c5e |
1732 | accordingly, but you can speed it up a very little bit if you define |
864a5fa8 |
1733 | this boolean variable yourself. |
8e07c86e |
1734 | |
e05e23b1 |
1735 | =item NOECHO |
1736 | |
479d2113 |
1737 | Command so make does not print the literal commands its running. |
1738 | |
1739 | By setting it to an empty string you can generate a Makefile that |
1740 | prints all commands. Mainly used in debugging MakeMaker itself. |
1741 | |
1742 | Defaults to C<@>. |
e05e23b1 |
1743 | |
864a5fa8 |
1744 | =item NORECURS |
8e07c86e |
1745 | |
e05e23b1 |
1746 | Boolean. Attribute to inhibit descending into subdirectories. |
8e07c86e |
1747 | |
1df8d179 |
1748 | =item NO_META |
1749 | |
1750 | When true, suppresses the generation and addition to the MANIFEST of |
1751 | the META.yml module meta-data file during 'make distdir'. |
1752 | |
1753 | Defaults to false. |
1754 | |
762efda7 |
1755 | =item NO_VC |
1756 | |
a7665c5e |
1757 | In general, any generated Makefile checks for the current version of |
762efda7 |
1758 | MakeMaker and the version the Makefile was built under. If NO_VC is |
1759 | set, the version check is neglected. Do not write this into your |
1760 | Makefile.PL, use it interactively instead. |
1761 | |
864a5fa8 |
1762 | =item OBJECT |
8e07c86e |
1763 | |
864a5fa8 |
1764 | List of object files, defaults to '$(BASEEXT)$(OBJ_EXT)', but can be a long |
1765 | string containing all object files, e.g. "tkpBind.o |
1766 | tkpButton.o tkpCanvas.o" |
8e07c86e |
1767 | |
e35b8f9e |
1768 | (Where BASEEXT is the last component of NAME, and OBJ_EXT is $Config{obj_ext}.) |
1769 | |
3b03c0f3 |
1770 | =item OPTIMIZE |
1771 | |
1772 | Defaults to C<-O>. Set it to C<-g> to turn debugging on. The flag is |
1773 | passed to subdirectory makes. |
1774 | |
864a5fa8 |
1775 | =item PERL |
8e07c86e |
1776 | |
864a5fa8 |

8e07c86e |
1778 | |
da7f727a |
1779 | =item PERL_CORE |
1780 | |

1784 | =item PERLMAINCC |
005c1a0e |
1785 | |
864a5fa8 |
1786 | The call to the program that is able to compile perlmain.c. Defaults |

1788 | |
864a5fa8 |
1789 | =item PERL_ARCHLIB |
005c1a0e |
1790 | |
da7f727a |
1791 | Same as for PERL_LIB, but for architecture dependent files. |
1792 | |
1793 | Used only when MakeMaker is building the extensions of the Perl core |
1794 | distribution (because normally $(PERL_ARCHLIB) is automatically in @INC, |
1795 | and adding it would get in the way of PERL5LIB). |
8e07c86e |
1796 | |
864a5fa8 |
1797 | =item PERL_LIB |
8e07c86e |
1798 | |
864a5fa8 |
1799 | Directory containing the Perl library to use. |
8e07c86e |
1800 | |
da7f727a |
1801 | Used only when MakeMaker is building the extensions of the Perl core |
1802 | distribution (because normally $(PERL_LIB) is automatically in @INC, |
1803 | and adding it would get in the way of PERL5LIB). |
1804 | |
e35b8f9e |
1805 | =item PERL_MALLOC_OK |
1806 | |
1807 | defaults to 0. Should be set to TRUE if the extension can work with |
1808 | the memory allocation routines substituted by the Perl malloc() subsystem. |
1809 | This should be applicable to most extensions with exceptions of those |
1810 | |
1811 | =over 4 |
1812 | |
1813 | =item * |
1814 | |
1815 | with bugs in memory allocations which are caught by Perl's malloc(); |
1816 | |
1817 | =item * |
1818 | |
1819 | which interact with the memory allocator in other ways than via |
1820 | malloc(), realloc(), free(), calloc(), sbrk() and brk(); |
1821 | |
1822 | =item * |
1823 | |
1824 | which rely on special alignment which is not provided by Perl's malloc(). |
1825 | |
1826 | =back |
1827 | |
1828 | B<NOTE.> Negligence to set this flag in I<any one> of loaded extension |
1829 | nullifies many advantages of Perl's malloc(), such as better usage of |
1830 | system resources, error detection, memory usage reporting, catchable failure |
1831 | of memory allocations, etc. |
1832 | |
479d2113 |
1833 | =item PERLPREFIX |
1834 | |
1835 | Directory under which core modules are to be installed. |
1836 | |
1837 | Defaults to $Config{installprefixexp} falling back to |
1838 | $Config{installprefix}, $Config{prefixexp} or $Config{prefix} should |
1839 | $Config{installprefixexp} not exist. |
1840 | |
1841 | Overridden by PREFIX. |
1842 | |
da7f727a |
1843 | =item PERLRUN |
1844 | |
75e2e551 |
1845 | Use this instead of $(PERL) when you wish to run perl. It will set up |
1846 | extra necessary flags for you. |
f6d6199c |
1847 | |
ffbaec2a |
1848 | =item PERLRUNINST |
f6d6199c |
1849 | |
75e2e551 |
1850 | Use this instead of $(PERL) when you wish to run perl to work with |
1851 | modules. It will add things like -I$(INST_ARCH) and other necessary |
1852 | flags so perl can see the modules you're about to install. |
f6d6199c |
1853 | |
864a5fa8 |
1854 | =item PERL_SRC |
8e07c86e |
1855 | |
864a5fa8 |
1856 | Directory containing the Perl source code (use of this should be |
1857 | avoided, it may be undefined) |
8e07c86e |
1858 | |
2366100d |
1859 | =item PERM_RW |
1860 | |
de592821 |
1861 | Desired permission for read/writable files. Defaults to C<644>. |
2366100d |
1862 | See also L<MM_Unix/perm_rw>. |
1863 | |
1864 | =item PERM_RWX |
1865 | |
1866 | Desired permission for executable files. Defaults to C<755>. |
1867 | See also L<MM_Unix/perm_rwx>. |
1868 | |
864a5fa8 |
1869 | =item PL_FILES |
8e07c86e |
1870 | |
864a5fa8 |
1871 | Ref to hash of files to be processed as perl programs. MakeMaker |
1872 | will default to any found *.PL file (except Makefile.PL) being keys |
1873 | and the basename of the file being the value. E.g. |
8e07c86e |
1874 | |
864a5fa8 |
1875 | {'foobar.PL' => 'foobar'} |
8e07c86e |
1876 | |
864a5fa8 |
1877 | The *.PL files are expected to produce output to the target files |
3aa35033 |
1878 | themselves. If multiple files can be generated from the same *.PL |
1879 | file then the value in the hash can be a reference to an array of |
1880 | target file names. E.g. |
1881 | |
1882 | {'foobar.PL' => ['foobar1','foobar2']} |
8e07c86e |
1883 | |
864a5fa8 |
1884 | =item PM |
8e07c86e |
1885 | |
864a5fa8 |
1886 | Hashref of .pm files and *.pl files to be installed. e.g. |
8e07c86e |
1887 | |
864a5fa8 |
1888 | {'name_of_file.pm' => '$(INST_LIBDIR)/install_as.pm'} |
8e07c86e |
1889 | |
a3cb178b |
1890 | By default this will include *.pm and *.pl and the files found in |
1891 | the PMLIBDIRS directories. Defining PM in the |
864a5fa8 |
1892 | Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS. |
8e07c86e |
1893 | |
864a5fa8 |
1894 | =item PMLIBDIRS |
8e07c86e |
1895 | |
864a5fa8 |
1896 | Ref to array of subdirectories containing library files. Defaults to |
a3cb178b |
1897 | [ 'lib', $(BASEEXT) ]. The directories will be scanned and I<any> files |
864a5fa8 |
1898 | they contain will be installed in the corresponding location in the |
1899 | library. A libscan() method can be used to alter the behaviour. |
1900 | Defining PM in the Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS. |
8e07c86e |
1901 | |
e35b8f9e |
1902 | (Where BASEEXT is the last component of NAME.) |
1903 | |
131aa089 |
1904 | =item PM_FILTER |
1905 | |
1906 | A filter program, in the traditional Unix sense (input from stdin, output |
1907 | to stdout) that is passed on each .pm file during the build (in the |
1908 | pm_to_blib() phase). It is empty by default, meaning no filtering is done. |
1909 | |
1910 | Great care is necessary when defining the command if quoting needs to be |
1911 | done. For instance, you would need to say: |
1912 | |
1913 | {'PM_FILTER' => 'grep -v \\"^\\#\\"'} |
1914 | |
1915 | to remove all the leading coments on the fly during the build. The |
1916 | extra \\ are necessary, unfortunately, because this variable is interpolated |
1917 | within the context of a Perl program built on the command line, and double |
1918 | quotes are what is used with the -e switch to build that command line. The |
1919 | # is escaped for the Makefile, since what is going to be generated will then |
1920 | be: |
1921 | |
1922 | PM_FILTER = grep -v \"^\#\" |
1923 | |

f6d6199c |
1950 | This overrides all the default install locations. Man pages, |
1951 | libraries, scripts, etc... MakeMaker will try to make an educated |
1952 | guess about where to place things under the new PREFIX based on your |
1953 | Config defaults. Failing that, it will fall back to a structure |
1954 | which should be sensible for your platform. |

2051 | =item VERSION_FROM |
2052 | |
2053 | Instead of specifying the VERSION in the Makefile.PL you can let |
2054 | MakeMaker parse a file to determine the version number. The parsing |
2055 | routine requires that the file named by VERSION_FROM contains one |
2056 | single line to compute the version number. The first line in the file |
2057 | that contains the regular expression |
2058 | |
84902520 |
2059 | /([\$*])(([\w\:\']*)\bVERSION)\b.*\=/ |
0d8023a2 |
2060 | |
2061 | will be evaluated with eval() and the value of the named variable |
2062 | B<after> the eval() will be assigned to the VERSION attribute of the |
2063 | MakeMaker object. The following lines will be parsed o.k.: |
2064 | |

2070 | our $VERSION = 1.2.3; # new for perl5.6.0 |

e35b8f9e |
2078 | (Putting C<my> or C<local> on the preceding line will work o.k.) |
2079 | |
84902520 |
2080 | The file named in VERSION_FROM is not added as a dependency to |
2081 | Makefile. This is not really correct, but it would be a major pain |
2082 | during development to have to rewrite the Makefile for any smallish |
2083 | change in that file. If you want to make sure that the Makefile |
2084 | contains the correct VERSION macro after any change of the file, you |
2085 | would have to do something like |
2086 | |
2087 | depend => { Makefile => '$(VERSION_FROM)' } |

2148 | If you specify COMPRESS, then SUFFIX should also be altered, as it is |
2149 | needed to tell make the target file of the compression. Setting |
2150 | DIST_CP to ln can be useful, if you need to preserve the timestamps on |
2151 | your files. DIST_CP can take the values 'cp', which copies the file, |
2152 | 'ln', which links the file, and 'best' which copies symbolic links and |

2194 | |
2195 | If you cannot achieve the desired Makefile behaviour by specifying |
2196 | attributes you may define private subroutines in the Makefile.PL. |
e0678a30 |
2197 | Each subroutine returns the text it wishes to have written to |
005c1a0e |
2198 | the Makefile. To override a section of the Makefile you can |
2199 | either say: |
2200 | |
f6d6199c |
2201 | sub MY::c_o { "new literal text" } |
005c1a0e |
2202 | |
2203 | or you can edit the default by saying something like: |
2204 | |
e0678a30 |
2205 | package MY; # so that "SUPER" works right |
2206 | sub c_o { |
f6d6199c |
2207 | my $inherited = shift->SUPER::c_o(@_); |
2208 | $inherited =~ s/old text/new text/; |
2209 | $inherited; |
2210 | } |

2212 | If you are running experiments with embedding perl as a library into |
2213 | other applications, you might find MakeMaker is not sufficient. You'd |
2214 | better have a look at ExtUtils::Embed which is a collection of utilities |
2215 | for embedding. |
005c1a0e |
2216 | |
2217 | If you still need a different solution, try to develop another |
bdda3fbd |
2218 | subroutine that fits your needs and submit the diffs to |

2235 | =head2 The End Of Cargo Cult Programming |
2236 | |
2237 | WriteMakefile() now does some basic sanity checks on its parameters to |
2238 | protect against typos and malformatted values. This means some things |
2239 | which happened to work in the past will now throw warnings and |
2240 | possibly produce internal errors. |
2241 | |
2242 | Some of the most common mistakes: |
2243 | |
2244 | =over 2 |
2245 | |
2246 | =item C<<MAN3PODS => ' '>> |
2247 | |
2248 | This is commonly used to supress the creation of man pages. MAN3PODS |
2249 | takes a hash ref not a string, but the above worked by accident in old |
2250 | versions of MakeMaker. |
2251 | |
2252 | The correct code is C<<MAN3PODS => { }>>. |

f1387719 |
2257 | =head2 Hintsfile support |
2258 | |
2259 | MakeMaker.pm uses the architecture specific information from |
2260 | Config.pm. In addition it evaluates architecture specific hints files |
2261 | in a C<hints/> directory. The hints files are expected to be named |
2262 | like their counterparts in C<PERL_SRC/hints>, but with an C<.pl> file |
2263 | name extension (eg. C<next_3_2.pl>). They are simply C<eval>ed by |
2264 | MakeMaker within the WriteMakefile() subroutine, and can be used to |
2265 | execute commands as well as to include special variables. The rules |
2266 | which hintsfile is chosen are the same as in Configure. |
2267 | |
2268 | The hintsfile is eval()ed immediately after the arguments given to |
2269 | WriteMakefile are stuffed into a hash reference $self but before this |
2270 | reference becomes blessed. So if you want to do the equivalent to |
2271 | override or create an attribute you would say something like |
2272 | |
2273 | $self->{LIBS} = ['-ldbm -lucb -lc']; |
2274 | |

2275 | =head2 Distribution Support |
2276 | |
2277 | For authors of extensions MakeMaker provides several Makefile |

2341 | command. Next it runs C<shar> on that directory into a sharfile and |
2342 | deletes the intermediate directory again. Finishes with a command |
2343 | $(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command. Note: For shdist to work |
2344 | properly a C<shar> program that can handle directories is mandatory. |
2345 | |
2346 | =item make zipdist |
2347 | |
2348 | First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null |
2349 | command. Runs C<$(ZIP) $(ZIPFLAGS)> on that directory into a |
2350 | zipfile. Then deletes that directory. Finishes with a command |
2351 | $(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command. |

2381 | =head2 Module Meta-Data |
2382 | |
2383 | Long plaguing users of MakeMaker based modules has been the problem of |
2384 | getting basic information about the module out of the sources |
2385 | I<without> running the F<Makefile.PL> and doing a bunch of messy |
2386 | heuristics on the resulting F<Makefile>. To this end a simple module |
2387 | meta-data file has been introduced, F<META.yml>. |
2388 | |
2389 | F<META.yml> is a YAML document (see http://www.yaml.org) containing |
2390 | basic information about the module (name, version, prerequisites...) |
2391 | in an easy to read format. The format is developed and defined by the |
64964e6d |
2392 | Module::Build developers (see |
2393 | http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec.html) |
1df8d179 |
2394 | |
2395 | MakeMaker will automatically generate a F<META.yml> file for you and |
2396 | add it to your F<MANIFEST> as part of the 'distdir' target (and thus |
2397 | the 'dist' target). This is intended to seamlessly and rapidly |
2398 | populate CPAN with module meta-data. If you wish to shut this feature |
2399 | off, set the C<NO_META> C<WriteMakefile()> flag to true. |

2402 | =head2 Disabling an extension |
2403 | |
2404 | If some events detected in F<Makefile.PL> imply that there is no way |
2405 | to create the Module, but this is a normal state of things, then you |
2406 | can create a F<Makefile> which does nothing, but succeeds on all the |
2407 | "usual" build targets. To do so, use |
2408 | |
2409 | ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteEmptyMakefile(); |
2410 | |
2411 | instead of WriteMakefile(). |
2412 | |
2413 | This may be useful if other modules expect this module to be I<built> |
2414 | OK, as opposed to I<work> OK (say, this system-dependent module builds |
2415 | in a subdirectory of some other distribution, or is listed as a |
2416 | dependency in a CPAN::Bundle, but the functionality is supported by |
2417 | different means on the current architecture). |

2420 | |
2421 | =over 4 |
2422 | |
2423 | =item prompt |
2424 | |
2425 | my $value = prompt($message); |
2426 | my $value = prompt($message, $default); |
2427 | |
2428 | The C<prompt()> function provides an easy way to request user input |
2429 | used to write a makefile. It displays the $message as a prompt for |
2430 | input. If a $default is provided it will be used as a default. The |
2431 | function returns the $value selected by the user. |
2432 | |
2433 | If C<prompt()> detects that it is not running interactively and there |
2434 | is nothing on STDIN or if the PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT environment variable |
2435 | is set to true, the $default will be used without prompting. This |
2436 | prevents automated processes from blocking on user input. |
2437 | |
2438 | If no $default is provided an empty string will be used instead. |

2449 | Command line options used by C<MakeMaker-E<gt>new()>, and thus by |
2450 | C<WriteMakefile()>. The string is split on whitespace, and the result |
2451 | is processed before any actual command line arguments are processed. |

2453 | =item PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT |
2454 | |
2455 | If set to a true value then MakeMaker's prompt function will |
2456 | always return the default without waiting for user input. |
