The Makefile to be produced may be altered by adding arguments of the
form C<KEY=VALUE>. E.g.
- perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/myperl5
+ perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=~
Other interesting targets in the generated Makefile are
INST_ARCHLIB INSTALLARCHLIB INSTALLSITEARCH INSTALLVENDORARCH
INST_LIB INSTALLPRIVLIB INSTALLSITELIB INSTALLVENDORLIB
INST_BIN INSTALLBIN INSTALLSITEBIN INSTALLVENDORBIN
- INST_SCRIPT INSTALLSCRIPT INSTALLSCRIPT INSTALLSCRIPT
+ INST_SCRIPT INSTALLSCRIPT INSTALLSITESCRIPT INSTALLVENDORSCRIPT
INST_MAN1DIR INSTALLMAN1DIR INSTALLSITEMAN1DIR INSTALLVENDORMAN1DIR
INST_MAN3DIR INSTALLMAN3DIR INSTALLSITEMAN3DIR INSTALLVENDORMAN3DIR
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.
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 /usr/local/lib/perl you could set DESTDIR=/other/
-and installation would go into /other/usr/local/lib/perl.
+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. "/other/" not "/other".
+slash on your DESTDIR. F<~/tmp/> not F<~/tmp>.

=item INSTALLSITEARCH
If set to 'none', no man pages will be installed.
+=item INSTALLSITESCRIPT

Same as INST_LIB for architecture dependent files.
MakeMaker will turn it into an array with one element.
+=item LICENSE
+
+The licensing terms of your distribution. Generally its "perl" for the
+same license as Perl itself.
+
+See L<Module::Build::Authoring> for the list of options.
+
+Defaults to "unknown".
+
=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
=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:
- {'foobar.PL' => 'foobar'}
+ perl bin/foobar.PL bin/foobar
-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.
+If multiple files from one program are desired an array ref can be used.
+
+ 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).
- {'foobar.PL' => ['foobar1','foobar2']}

+to remove all the leading comments on the fly during the build. The
extra \\ are necessary, unfortunately, because this variable is interpolated
within the context of a Perl program built on the command line, and double
quotes are what is used with the -e switch to build that command line. The
=item PREREQ_FATAL

+will C<die> instead of simply informing the user of the missing dependencies.
-Note: see L<Test::Harness> for a shortcut for stopping tests early if
-you are missing dependencies.
+It is I<extremely> rare to have to use C<PREREQ_FATAL>. Its use by module
+authors is I<strongly discouraged> and should never be used lightly.
+Module installation tools have ways of resolving umet dependencies but
+to do that they need a F<Makefile>. Using C<PREREQ_FATAL> breaks this.
+That's bad.
-Do I<not> use this parameter for simple requirements, which could be resolved
-at a later time, e.g. after an unsuccessful B<make test> of your module.
+The only situation where it is appropriate is when you have
+dependencies that are indispensible to actually I<write> a
+F<Makefile>. For example, MakeMaker's F<Makefile.PL> needs L<File::Spec>.
+If its not available it cannot write the F<Makefile>.
-It is I<extremely> rare to have to use C<PREREQ_FATAL> at all!

deletes the directory. Finishes with a command $(POSTOP) which

"usual" build targets. To do so, use
