ExtUtils::configPL Description

ExtUtils::configPL is a Perl extension to automagically configure Perl scripts. ExtUtils::configPL is a Perl extension to automagically configure Perl scripts.SYNOPSIS use ExtUtils::configPL; -w ... no ExtUtils::configPL; ...This module is used to add configuration information to a perl script, and is meant to be used with the ExtUtils::MakeMaker module.ExtUtils::configPL is not a "normal" Perl extension. It does add or encapsulate functionality to your script, but it filters the script, replacing tags with items from the Config module, writing the resulting script to a new file.The normal use for this module is to add the "shebang" line as the first line of a script. use ExtUtils::ConfigPL; -wwould be replaced with: #/usr/local/bin/perl -w(or where ever your perl executable is located.)The use ExtUtils::configPL; line must be the first line in the script! Anything that comes before that line will not be in the filtered script.This module is intended to work with ExtUtils::MakeMaker. You would create your script, as above, with the .PL extension, and add a PL_FILE option to the WriteMakefile() call (see ExtUtils::MakeMaker for more details.)For example: 'PL_FILES' => { 'foo.PL' => 'foo.pl' }Creating the Makefile would create a rule that would call your script like: $(PERL) -I$(INST_ARCHLIB) -I$(INST_LIB) -I$(PERL_ARCHLIB) -I$(PERL_LIB) foo.PL foo.plalthough the line could be as simple as: perl foo.PL foo.plExtUtils::configPL takes the first argument, and uses it as the name of filtered script, and will write the new script into it.TAGSTags are use to mark the location that a substitution will be made. By default, tags are in the form of: where the variable is one of the Config.pm variables.The tag will be replaced anywhere it is found in the script. You can stop the substitution in a section of the script by surrounding the section like: no ExtUtils::configPL; ... # Nothing will be substituted. ... use ExtUtils::configPL; ... # Substituting is resumed.The use and no lines above are removed from the filtered script so that, when you run the script, ExtUtils::configPL will not be re-ran.
