NAME
Module::Build - Build and install Perl modules
SYNOPSIS
Standard process for building & installing modules:
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install
Or, if you're on a platform (like DOS or Windows) that doesn't require
the "./" notation, you can do this:
perl Build.PL
Build
Build test
Build install
DESCRIPTION
`Module::Build' is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl
modules. It is meant to be an alternative to `ExtUtils::MakeMaker'.
Developers may alter the behavior of the module through subclassing in a
much more straightforward way than with `MakeMaker'. It also does not
require a `make' on your system - most of the `Module::Build' code is
pure-perl and written in a very cross-platform way. In fact, you don't
even need a shell, so even platforms like MacOS (traditional) can use it
fairly easily. Its only prerequisites are modules that are included with
perl 5.6.0, and it works fine on perl 5.005 if you can install a few
additional modules.
See "MOTIVATIONS" for more comparisons between `ExtUtils::MakeMaker' and
`Module::Build'.
To install `Module::Build', and any other module that uses
`Module::Build' for its installation process, do the following:
perl Build.PL # 'Build.PL' script creates the 'Build' script
./Build # Need ./ to ensure we're using this "Build" script
./Build test # and not another one that happens to be in the PATH
./Build install
This illustrates initial configuration and the running of three
'actions'. In this case the actions run are 'build' (the default
action), 'test', and 'install'. Other actions defined so far include:
<action_list>
You can run the 'help' action for a complete list of actions.
GUIDE TO DOCUMENTATION
The documentation for `Module::Build' is broken up into three sections:
General Usage (Module::Build)
This is the document you are currently reading. It describes basic
usage and background information. Its main purpose is to assist the
user who wants to learn how to invoke and control `Module::Build'
scripts at the command line.
Authoring Reference (Module::Build::Authoring)
This document describes the structure and organization of
`Module::Build', and the relevant concepts needed by authors who are
writing Build.PL scripts for a distribution or controlling
`Module::Build' processes programmatically.
API Reference (Module::Build::API)
This is a reference to the `Module::Build' API.
Cookbook (Module::Build::Cookbook)
This document demonstrates how to accomplish many common tasks. It
covers general command line usage and authoring of Build.PL scripts.
Includes working examples.
ACTIONS
There are some general principles at work here. First, each task when
building a module is called an "action". These actions are listed above;
they correspond to the building, testing, installing, packaging, etc.,
tasks.
Second, arguments are processed in a very systematic way. Arguments are
always key=value pairs. They may be specified at `perl Build.PL' time
(i.e. `perl Build.PL destdir=/my/secret/place'), in which case their
values last for the lifetime of the `Build' script. They may also be
specified when executing a particular action (i.e. `Build test
verbose=1'), in which case their values last only for the lifetime of
that command. Per-action command line parameters take precedence over
parameters specified at `perl Build.PL' time.
The build process also relies heavily on the `Config.pm' module. If the
user wishes to override any of the values in `Config.pm', she may
specify them like so:
perl Build.PL --config cc=gcc --config ld=gcc
The following build actions are provided by default.
build
[version 0.01]
If you run the `Build' script without any arguments, it runs the
`build' action, which in turn runs the `code' and `docs' actions.
This is analogous to the MakeMaker 'make all' target.
clean
[version 0.01]
This action will clean up any files that the build process may have
created, including the `blib/' directory (but not including the
`_build/' directory and the `Build' script itself).
code
[version 0.20]
This action builds your codebase.
By default it just creates a `blib/' directory and copies any `.pm'
and `.pod' files from your `lib/' directory into the `blib/'
directory. It also compiles any `.xs' files from `lib/' and places
them in `blib/'. Of course, you need a working C compiler (probably
the same one that built perl itself) for the compilation to work
properly.
The `code' action also runs any `.PL' files in your lib/ directory.
Typically these create other files, named the same but without the
`.PL' ending. For example, a file lib/Foo/Bar.pm.PL could create the
file lib/Foo/Bar.pm. The `.PL' files are processed first, so any
`.pm' files (or other kinds that we deal with) will get copied
correctly.
config_data
[version 0.26]
...
diff
[version 0.14]
This action will compare the files about to be installed with their
installed counterparts. For .pm and .pod files, a diff will be shown
(this currently requires a 'diff' program to be in your PATH). For
other files like compiled binary files, we simply report whether
they differ.
A `flags' parameter may be passed to the action, which will be
passed to the 'diff' program. Consult your 'diff' documentation for
the parameters it will accept - a good one is `-u':
./Build diff flags=-u
dist
[version 0.02]
This action is helpful for module authors who want to package up
their module for source distribution through a medium like CPAN. It
will create a tarball of the files listed in MANIFEST and compress
the tarball using GZIP compression.
By default, this action will use the external `tar' and `gzip'
executables on Unix-like platforms, and the `Archive::Tar' module
elsewhere. However, you can force it to use whatever executable you
want by supplying an explicit `tar' (and optional `gzip') parameter:
./Build dist --tar C:\path\to\tar.exe --gzip C:\path\to\zip.exe
distcheck
[version 0.05]
Reports which files are in the build directory but not in the
MANIFEST file, and vice versa. (See manifest for details.)
distclean
[version 0.05]
Performs the 'realclean' action and then the 'distcheck' action.
distdir
[version 0.05]
Creates a "distribution directory" named `$dist_name-$dist_version'
(if that directory already exists, it will be removed first), then
copies all the files listed in the MANIFEST file to that directory.
This directory is what the distribution tarball is created from.
distmeta
[version 0.21]
Creates the META.yml file that describes the distribution.
META.yml is a file containing various bits of "metadata" about the
distribution. The metadata includes the distribution name, version,
abstract, prerequisites, license, and various other data about the
distribution. This file is created as META.yml in YAML format. It is
recommended that the `YAML' module be installed to create it. If the
`YAML' module is not installed, an internal module supplied with
Module::Build will be used to write the META.yml file, and this will
most likely be fine.
META.yml file must also be listed in MANIFEST - if it's not, a
warning will be issued.
The current version of the META.yml specification can be found at
http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-current.html
distsign
[version 0.16]
Uses `Module::Signature' to create a SIGNATURE file for your
distribution, and adds the SIGNATURE file to the distribution's
MANIFEST.
disttest
[version 0.05]
Performs the 'distdir' action, then switches into that directory and
runs a `perl Build.PL', followed by the 'build' and 'test' actions
in that directory.
docs
[version 0.20]
This will generate documentation (e.g. Unix man pages and html
documents) for any installable items under blib/ that contain POD.
If there are no `bindoc' or `libdoc' installation targets defined
(as will be the case on systems that don't support Unix manpages) no
action is taken for manpages. If there are no `binhtml' or `libhtml'
installation targets defined no action is taken for html documents.
fakeinstall
[version 0.02]
This is just like the `install' action, but it won't actually do
anything, it will just report what it *would* have done if you had
actually run the `install' action.
help
[version 0.03]
This action will simply print out a message that is meant to help
you use the build process. It will show you a list of available
build actions too.
With an optional argument specifying an action name (e.g. `Build
help test'), the 'help' action will show you any POD documentation
it can find for that action.
html
[version 0.26]
This will generate HTML documentation for any binary or library
files under blib/ that contain POD. The HTML documentation will only
be installed if the install paths can be determined from values in
`Config.pm'. You can also supply or override install paths on the
command line by specifying `install_path' values for the `binhtml'
and/or `libhtml' installation targets.
install
[version 0.01]
This action will use `ExtUtils::Install' to install the files from
`blib/' into the system. See "INSTALL PATHS" for details about how
Module::Build determines where to install things, and how to
influence this process.
If you want the installation process to look around in `@INC' for
other versions of the stuff you're installing and try to delete it,
you can use the `uninst' parameter, which tells `ExtUtils::Install'
to do so:
./Build install uninst=1
This can be a good idea, as it helps prevent multiple versions of a
module from being present on your system, which can be a confusing
situation indeed.
manifest
[version 0.05]
This is an action intended for use by module authors, not people
installing modules. It will bring the MANIFEST up to date with the
files currently present in the distribution. You may use a
MANIFEST.SKIP file to exclude certain files or directories from
inclusion in the MANIFEST. MANIFEST.SKIP should contain a bunch of
regular expressions, one per line. If a file in the distribution
directory matches any of the regular expressions, it won't be
included in the MANIFEST.
The following is a reasonable MANIFEST.SKIP starting point, you can
add your own stuff to it:
^_build
^Build$
^blib
~$
\.bak$
^MANIFEST\.SKIP$
CVS
See the distcheck and skipcheck actions if you want to find out what
the `manifest' action would do, without actually doing anything.
manpages
[version 0.28]
This will generate man pages for any binary or library files under
blib/ that contain POD. The man pages will only be installed if the
install paths can be determined from values in `Config.pm'. You can
also supply or override install paths by specifying there values on
the command line with the `bindoc' and `libdoc' installation
targets.
pardist
[version 0.2806]
Generates a PAR binary distribution for use with PAR or PAR::Dist.
It requires that the PAR::Dist module (version 0.17 and up) is
installed on your system.
ppd [version 0.20]
Build a PPD file for your distribution.
This action takes an optional argument `codebase' which is used in
the generated ppd file to specify the (usually relative) URL of the
distribution. By default, this value is the distribution name
without any path information.
Example:
./Build ppd --codebase "MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/Module-Build-0.21.tar.gz"
ppmdist
[version 0.23]
Generates a PPM binary distribution and a PPD description file. This
action also invokes the 'ppd' action, so it can accept the same
`codebase' argument described under that action.
This uses the same mechanism as the `dist' action to tar & zip its
output, so you can supply `tar' and/or `gzip' parameters to affect
the result.
prereq_report
[version 0.28]
This action prints out a list of all prerequisites, the versions
required, and the versions actually installed. This can be useful
for reviewing the configuration of your system prior to a build, or
when compiling data to send for a bug report.
pure_install
[version 0.28]
This action is identical to the `install' action. In the future,
though, when `install' starts writing to the file
$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod, `pure_install' won't, and that will
be the only difference between them.
realclean
[version 0.01]
This action is just like the `clean' action, but also removes the
`_build' directory and the `Build' script. If you run the
`realclean' action, you are essentially starting over, so you will
have to re-create the `Build' script again.
retest
[version 0.2806]
This is just like the `test' action, but doesn't actually build the
distribution first, and doesn't add blib/ to the load path, and
therefore will test against a *previously* installed version of the
distribution. This can be used to verify that a certain installed
distribution still works, or to see whether newer versions of a
distribution still pass the old regression tests, and so on.
skipcheck
[version 0.05]
Reports which files are skipped due to the entries in the
MANIFEST.SKIP file (See manifest for details)
test
[version 0.01]
This will use `Test::Harness' or `TAP::Harness' to run any
regression tests and report their results. Tests can be defined in
the standard places: a file called `test.pl' in the top-level
directory, or several files ending with `.t' in a `t/' directory.
If you want tests to be 'verbose', i.e. show details of test
execution rather than just summary information, pass the argument
`verbose=1'.
If you want to run tests under the perl debugger, pass the argument
`debugger=1'.
If you want to have Module::Build find test files with different
file name extensions, pass the `test_file_exts' argument with an
array of extensions, such as `[qw( .t .s .z )]'.
If you want test to be run by `TAP::Harness', rather than
`Test::Harness', pass the argument `tap_harness_args' as an array
reference of arguments to pass to the TAP::Harness constructor.
In addition, if a file called `visual.pl' exists in the top-level
directory, this file will be executed as a Perl script and its
output will be shown to the user. This is a good place to put speed
tests or other tests that don't use the `Test::Harness' format for
output.
To override the choice of tests to run, you may pass a `test_files'
argument whose value is a whitespace-separated list of test scripts
to run. This is especially useful in development, when you only want
to run a single test to see whether you've squashed a certain bug
yet:
./Build test --test_files t/something_failing.t
You may also pass several `test_files' arguments separately:
./Build test --test_files t/one.t --test_files t/two.t
or use a `glob()'-style pattern:
./Build test --test_files 't/01-*.t'
testall
[verion 0.2807]
[Note: the 'testall' action and the code snippets below are
currently in alpha stage, see
"http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.module.build/2007/03/msg584.htm
l" ]
Runs the `test' action plus each of the `test$type' actions defined
by the keys of the `test_types' parameter.
Currently, you need to define the ACTION_test$type method yourself
and enumerate them in the test_types parameter.
my $mb = Module::Build->subclass(
code => q(
sub ACTION_testspecial { shift->generic_test(type => 'special'); }
sub ACTION_testauthor { shift->generic_test(type => 'author'); }
)
)->new(
...
test_types => {
special => '.st',
author => ['.at', '.pt' ],
},
...
testcover
[version 0.26]
Runs the `test' action using `Devel::Cover', generating a
code-coverage report showing which parts of the code were actually
exercised during the tests.
To pass options to `Devel::Cover', set the `$DEVEL_COVER_OPTIONS'
environment variable:
DEVEL_COVER_OPTIONS=-ignore,Build ./Build testcover
testdb
[version 0.05]
This is a synonym for the 'test' action with the `debugger=1'
argument.
testpod
[version 0.25]
This checks all the files described in the `docs' action and
produces `Test::Harness'-style output. If you are a module author,
this is useful to run before creating a new release.
testpodcoverage
[version 0.28]
This checks the pod coverage of the distribution and produces
`Test::Harness'-style output. If you are a module author, this is
useful to run before creating a new release.
versioninstall
[version 0.16]
** Note: since `only.pm' is so new, and since we just recently added
support for it here too, this feature is to be considered
experimental. **
If you have the `only.pm' module installed on your system, you can
use this action to install a module into the version-specific
library trees. This means that you can have several versions of the
same module installed and `use' a specific one like this:
use only MyModule => 0.55;
To override the default installation libraries in `only::config',
specify the `versionlib' parameter when you run the `Build.PL'
script:
perl Build.PL --versionlib /my/version/place/
To override which version the module is installed as, specify the
`versionlib' parameter when you run the `Build.PL' script:
perl Build.PL --version 0.50
See the `only.pm' documentation for more information on
version-specific installs.
OPTIONS
Command Line Options
The following options can be used during any invocation of `Build.PL' or
the Build script, during any action. For information on other options
specific to an action, see the documentation for the respective action.
NOTE: There is some preliminary support for options to use the more
familiar long option style. Most options can be preceded with the `--'
long option prefix, and the underscores changed to dashes (e.g.
--use-rcfile). Additionally, the argument to boolean options is
optional, and boolean options can be negated by prefixing them with 'no'
or 'no-' (e.g. --noverbose or --no-verbose).
quiet
Suppress informative messages on output.
use_rcfile
Load the ~/.modulebuildrc option file. This option can be set to
false to prevent the custom resource file from being loaded.
verbose
Display extra information about the Build on output.
allow_mb_mismatch
Suppresses the check upon startup that the version of Module::Build
we're now running under is the same version that was initially
invoked when building the distribution (i.e. when the `Build.PL'
script was first run). Use with caution.
Default Options File (.modulebuildrc)
[version 0.28]
When Module::Build starts up, it will look first for a file,
$ENV{HOME}/.modulebuildrc. If it's not found there, it will look in the
the .modulebuildrc file in the directories referred to by the
environment variables `HOMEDRIVE' + `HOMEDIR', `USERPROFILE', `APPDATA',
`WINDIR', `SYS$LOGIN'. If the file exists, the options specified there
will be used as defaults, as if they were typed on the command line. The
defaults can be overridden by specifying new values on the command line.
The action name must come at the beginning of the line, followed by any
amount of whitespace and then the options. Options are given the same as
they would be on the command line. They can be separated by any amount
of whitespace, including newlines, as long there is whitespace at the
beginning of each continued line. Anything following a hash mark (`#')
is considered a comment, and is stripped before parsing. If more than
one line begins with the same action name, those lines are merged into
one set of options.
Besides the regular actions, there are two special pseudo-actions: the
key `*' (asterisk) denotes any global options that should be applied to
all actions, and the key 'Build_PL' specifies options to be applied when
you invoke `perl Build.PL'.
* verbose=1 # global options
diff flags=-u
install --install_base /home/ken
--install_path html=/home/ken/docs/html
If you wish to locate your resource file in a different location, you
can set the environment variable 'MODULEBUILDRC' to the complete
absolute path of the file containing your options.
INSTALL PATHS
[version 0.19]
When you invoke Module::Build's `build' action, it needs to figure out
where to install things. The nutshell version of how this works is that
default installation locations are determined from Config.pm, and they
may be overridden by using the `install_path' parameter. An
`install_base' parameter lets you specify an alternative installation
root like /home/foo, and a `destdir' lets you specify a temporary
installation directory like /tmp/install in case you want to create
bundled-up installable packages.
Natively, Module::Build provides default installation locations for the
following types of installable items:
lib Usually pure-Perl module files ending in .pm.
arch
"Architecture-dependent" module files, usually produced by compiling
XS, Inline, or similar code.
script
Programs written in pure Perl. In order to improve reuse, try to
make these as small as possible - put the code into modules whenever
possible.
bin "Architecture-dependent" executable programs, i.e. compiled C code
or something. Pretty rare to see this in a perl distribution, but it
happens.
bindoc
Documentation for the stuff in `script' and `bin'. Usually generated
from the POD in those files. Under Unix, these are manual pages
belonging to the 'man1' category.
libdoc
Documentation for the stuff in `lib' and `arch'. This is usually
generated from the POD in .pm files. Under Unix, these are manual
pages belonging to the 'man3' category.
binhtml
This is the same as `bindoc' above, but applies to html documents.
libhtml
This is the same as `bindoc' above, but applies to html documents.
Four other parameters let you control various aspects of how
installation paths are determined:
installdirs
The default destinations for these installable things come from
entries in your system's `Config.pm'. You can select from three
different sets of default locations by setting the `installdirs'
parameter as follows:
'installdirs' set to:
core site vendor
uses the following defaults from Config.pm:
lib => installprivlib installsitelib installvendorlib
arch => installarchlib installsitearch installvendorarch
script => installscript installsitebin installvendorbin
bin => installbin installsitebin installvendorbin
bindoc => installman1dir installsiteman1dir installvendorman1dir
libdoc => installman3dir installsiteman3dir installvendorman3dir
binhtml => installhtml1dir installsitehtml1dir installvendorhtml1dir [*]
libhtml => installhtml3dir installsitehtml3dir installvendorhtml3dir [*]
* Under some OS (eg. MSWin32) the destination for html documents is
determined by the C<Config.pm> entry C<installhtmldir>.
The default value of `installdirs' is "site". If you're creating
vendor distributions of module packages, you may want to do
something like this:
perl Build.PL --installdirs vendor
or
./Build install --installdirs vendor
If you're installing an updated version of a module that was
included with perl itself (i.e. a "core module"), then you may set
`installdirs' to "core" to overwrite the module in its present
location.
(Note that the 'script' line is different from MakeMaker -
unfortunately there's no such thing as "installsitescript" or
"installvendorscript" entry in `Config.pm', so we use the
"installsitebin" and "installvendorbin" entries to at least get the
general location right. In the future, if `Config.pm' adds some more
appropriate entries, we'll start using those.)
install_path
Once the defaults have been set, you can override them.
On the command line, that would look like this:
perl Build.PL --install_path lib=/foo/lib --install_path arch=/foo/lib/arch
or this:
./Build install --install_path lib=/foo/lib --install_path arch=/foo/lib/arch
install_base
You can also set the whole bunch of installation paths by supplying
the `install_base' parameter to point to a directory on your system.
For instance, if you set `install_base' to "/home/ken" on a Linux
system, you'll install as follows:
lib => /home/ken/lib/perl5
arch => /home/ken/lib/perl5/i386-linux
script => /home/ken/bin
bin => /home/ken/bin
bindoc => /home/ken/man/man1
libdoc => /home/ken/man/man3
binhtml => /home/ken/html
libhtml => /home/ken/html
Note that this is *different* from how MakeMaker's `PREFIX'
parameter works. `install_base' just gives you a default layout
under the directory you specify, which may have little to do with
the `installdirs=site' layout.
The exact layout under the directory you specify may vary by system
- we try to do the "sensible" thing on each platform.
destdir
If you want to install everything into a temporary directory first
(for instance, if you want to create a directory tree that a package
manager like `rpm' or `dpkg' could create a package from), you can
use the `destdir' parameter:
perl Build.PL --destdir /tmp/foo
or
./Build install --destdir /tmp/foo
This will effectively install to "/tmp/foo/$sitelib",
"/tmp/foo/$sitearch", and the like, except that it will use
`File::Spec' to make the pathnames work correctly on whatever
platform you're installing on.
prefix
Provided for compatibility with ExtUtils::MakeMaker's PREFIX
argument. `prefix' should be used when you wish Module::Build to
install your modules, documentation and scripts in the same place
ExtUtils::MakeMaker does.
The following are equivalent.
perl Build.PL --prefix /tmp/foo
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp/foo
Because of the very complex nature of the prefixification logic, the
behavior of PREFIX in MakeMaker has changed subtly over time.
Module::Build's --prefix logic is equivalent to the PREFIX logic
found in ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.30.
If you do not need to retain compatibility with ExtUtils::MakeMaker
or are starting a fresh Perl installation we recommand you use
`install_base' instead (and `INSTALL_BASE' in ExtUtils::MakeMaker).
See Module::Build::Cookbook for further information.
MOTIVATIONS
There are several reasons I wanted to start over, and not just fix what
I didn't like about MakeMaker:
* I don't like the core idea of MakeMaker, namely that `make' should
be involved in the build process. Here are my reasons:
+ When a person is installing a Perl module, what can you assume
about their environment? Can you assume they have `make'? No,
but you can assume they have some version of Perl.
+ When a person is writing a Perl module for intended
distribution, can you assume that they know how to build a
Makefile, so they can customize their build process? No, but you
can assume they know Perl, and could customize that way.
For years, these things have been a barrier to people getting the
build/install process to do what they want.
* There are several architectural decisions in MakeMaker that make it
very difficult to customize its behavior. For instance, when using
MakeMaker you do `use ExtUtils::MakeMaker', but the object created
in `WriteMakefile()' is actually blessed into a package name that's
created on the fly, so you can't simply subclass
`ExtUtils::MakeMaker'. There is a workaround `MY' package that lets
you override certain MakeMaker methods, but only certain explicitly
preselected (by MakeMaker) methods can be overridden. Also, the
method of customization is very crude: you have to modify a string
containing the Makefile text for the particular target. Since these
strings aren't documented, and *can't* be documented (they take on
different values depending on the platform, version of perl, version
of MakeMaker, etc.), you have no guarantee that your modifications
will work on someone else's machine or after an upgrade of MakeMaker
or perl.
* It is risky to make major changes to MakeMaker, since it does so
many things, is so important, and generally works. `Module::Build'
is an entirely separate package so that I can work on it all I want,
without worrying about backward compatibility.
* Finally, Perl is said to be a language for system administration.
Could it really be the case that Perl isn't up to the task of
building and installing software? Even if that software is a bunch
of stupid little `.pm' files that just need to be copied from one
place to another? My sense was that we could design a system to
accomplish this in a flexible, extensible, and friendly manner. Or
die trying.
TO DO
The current method of relying on time stamps to determine whether a
derived file is out of date isn't likely to scale well, since it
requires tracing all dependencies backward, it runs into problems on
NFS, and it's just generally flimsy. It would be better to use an MD5
signature or the like, if available. See `cons' for an example.
- append to perllocal.pod
- add a 'plugin' functionality
