Handling C++ structs with XSpp
Hi,
I am trying to bind Box2D to Perl using XSpp. This is my code so far:
https://github.com/PerlGameDev/Box2D-perl
I am using Module::Build::WithXSpp and ExtUtils::XSpp. The first thing I
need to bind are a bunch of C++ style structs (not pure C struct).
http://paste.scsys.co.uk/99657
It has operator overloads and so on.
The ExtUtils::XSpp is not clear on how I should handle this. I tried
doing
https://github.com/PerlGameDev/Box2D-perl/blob/master/xsp/Box2D.xsp
but when I compile and run I get:
Building Box2D

Use modulemaker to help you make a module. http://search.cpan.org/dist/ExtUtils-ModuleMaker/scripts/modulemaker Make a good MANIFEST.skip and run perl Build.PL perl Build manifest perl Build dist This will make a tar file which you should upload.

Then they ported my Perl-based game to using that new Perl module, and to be CPAN-friendly. My game previous versions were 2.0.0, 2.1.0, 2.2.0, so now I would like it to be versioned 2.2.1. But prior to that, I would like to release a beta version because I suspect a couple of corner cases to contain bugs. So we're looking for a way to version it 2.2.1-beta1 or something similar, in order for it to NOT be included in stable distributions or replace 2.2.0 for regular users. Then we'll release 2.2.1 in a couple of weeks when no more important bugs are known. Thanks for your patience :) Let me restate what I think the situation is: * Frozen Bubble is now (or will be) a CPAN distribution rather than a standalone program distributed independently Yes. * You would like the CPAN version to indicate a beta status so that OS packagers don't blindly replace it for users No, only the one on the main site. CPAN already has a differing versions. 2.111 on CPAN is 2.1.1beta1 for gc's os releases. The problem we are having is we cant force a non numerical VERSION in M::B for the non CPAN release. Our code uses the VERSION to compile a fb-server with output saying what version it is. This is why we need it in VERSION. I don't know exactly what criteria OS packagers use for deciding what is or isn't beta, but presumably the tarball name is significant. They may or may not be Perl experts familiar with CPAN conventions. I would suggest the following: * To be consistent with your prior versioning (dotted-decimal), require a minimum version of Perl that understands v1.2.3 numbering. That means 5.6.0 at a minimum, 5.8.1 is better, 5.10.0 is best but you might not want to impose that requimrent on end-users. * For the *modules* inside the distribution, follow CPAN conventions and include an underscore in the version number within the modules if they are beta e.g. our $VERSION = v2.2_1 Your final release should bump the last number and use a decimal our $VERSION = v2.2.2 (For the sake of simplicity and compatibility with Perl 5.10.0, I suggest that you NOT use the version.pm module.) * For the *distribution* (i.e. the tarball) you have more choices. For Perl people it would be sufficient to have this: Frozen-Bubble-v2.2_1.tar.gz But for people unfamiliar with CPAN conventions, I suggest one of the following: a) Frozen-Bubble-beta-v2.2_1.tar.gz b) Frozen-Bubble-v2.2_1-TRIAL.tar.gz c) Frozen-Bubble-v2.2.1-TRIAL.tar.gz This makes sense too. In (a), you put beta in the title of the distribution, but leave the underscore in the version number. This tells PAUSE (the CPAN indexer) not to index this distribution, which is what you want for a beta. You might confuse some parts of the ecosystem like CPAN Testers, which will think that Frozen-Bubble is a different distribution than Frozen-Bubble-beta, but that's a fairly small price to pay. thia dist_name = in M::B correct? The (b) and (c) forms are not very common and take advantage of a little-known feature of PAUSE. Appending -TRIAL to the version number is another way of telling PAUSE not to index the distribution. If you do that, you have the choice of (b) or (c) as the underscore is no longer significant in the tarball name. Hopefully, that is also enough to warn off packagers. * If you accept -TRIAL as the answer that gives you a tarball name that packagers will know not to distribute and are consistent in always using it for your betas, then you could even stop using an underscore in the $VERSION variable and just use a period. our $VERSION = v2.2.1; * Just as a reminder, you still always want to bump the version numbers of your modules as you go from beta to final. CPAN conventions don't really support the concept of 2.2.1-beta followed by 2.2.1 (final). Numbers are expected to be monotonically increasing. You might want to adopt your own convention of odd numbers being development/beta and even numbers being releases. That's probably far more complex that you ever imagined, but I hope it gives you some useful direction. As I said in my article, it's really too bad that version numbers aren't boring. Thank you for writing such a cool game in Perl! PS: is an XY problem bound to a specific gender? do you think giving the problem to an XX person would solve it faster? :) The XY problem refers to wanting to do X, thinking Y is the right approach and asking how to do Y, but X is vital context and people might have better solutions than just Y. c.f. http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=542341 Thank you so much for lots of cool things in Perl :) -- David Kartik

CPAN::DistnameInfo added support for '-TRIAL' in 0.10 back in March of this year and I'm pretty sure that's what Graham is using for search.cpan.org. It's certainly possible that it's leaking through elsewhere. rjbs has been doing -TRIAL releases of Dist::Zilla and may have a better sense of where any remaining issues are. It also looked like '-TRIAL' was intended to be used as a pre-release without bumping any version numbers, so you could have -TRIAL1, -TRIAL2, etc all with the version e.g. 5.6.2. Am I understanding that right? I believe that was specific to perl distributions, not CPAN distributions, but it may work for those as well. -- David

I dont know where you are getting this from. Suppose I have a Module::Build module that I never ever want to put on CPAN. How do I force the our $VERSION to be non numeric. I see two possible approaches: 1: leapfrogging. Release the beta versions with version numbers that are less than the latest release version. This approach might require some planning, possibly including bumping the version number on the current stable to make space. The beta testers will have to jump through something of a hoop, depending on their tools and skill with them, so you'll have to support them in that. No. Nothing to do with CPAN. 'non-CPAN'. 2: release beta versions in an entirely separate name-space, so instead of having the beta after Awesome::Application 3.003 having confusing version number just call it Awesome::Application_betatest 3.004 and let them coexist. Some research may be required to figure out the best way to do that -- you don't want CPAN.pm pulling in the Betatest version of something unreleased because it includes something that it thinks is a proper upgrade, for instance. The additional end-user control over what code is participating in the testing, for a module, with less risk, could be good, too, for a module. 'non-CPAN' regards, Kartik

Excluding Module::Build from PAR
Hello fellow authors, In an attempt to make SDL games distributable I have been looking at how to package with PAR. In the first run using: pp -B -p -o shooter.par shooter.pl PAR was picking up all of CPAN::* and the multitude of deps that came with it. After hunting around I found that SDL::ConfigData was requiring Module::Build in the autogenerated sub feature(). Ironically it has a comment saying to remove this in future releases. Until then I decided to try: pp -X Module::Build -B -p -o shooter.par shooter.pl The file size did not change much so I unziped shooter.par. And sure enough lib/Module/Builder.pm is gone but tge rest of lib/Module/Builder.pm and the multiple deps still presisted. How can I do the equivalent of -X Module::Build* ? Here is the shooter.pl script. http://gist.github.com/301949 Kartik Thakore

So, while you might have rights to teh SDL.pm namespace, the original author needs to give you the co-maintain bit on all of the other ones in the dist. This is what leads to what is called unauthorized releases -- your package was accepted and is being actively mirrored on CPAN, but it is not downloadable via the CPAN shell. (Well, it is, but you'd need to specify your userid like: install K/KTHAKORE/Dist-Name.tar.gz) Please read this page (https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=pause_04about), which is an FAQ list of common gotchas when it comes to authoring Perl modules. Causing lots of noise on the authors list like this while clearly not having read the appropriate documentation beforehand, and doing so in such an unprofessional manner, is a rude thing to do and unlikely to get you the result you are looking for. Things are tracked per-module-name rather than per-package because packages often contain many things. The first person to upload a package with a specific name has dibs on it, which is useful for a variety of reasons discussed on the FAQ page. Again, Read The Fine Manual. Ask the author for co-maint bits on the remaining dist packages.

Carp is in core, so you don't have to install anything extra to use it.
'use Carp;' and then 'croak' instead of 'die' and 'carp' instead of

Then, in a debugging scenario, I can do 'set PERL5OPT=-MCarp=verbose'

Is there any way you could create an archive of the required SDL
libs
and
make
it available for download?
Every time I decide to give SDL-perl another try, I eventually give
up
because
the libs are scattered all across the 'net in all sorts of weird
code
repos
and have to be checked out using all sorts of funny tools. I have
several
megs
worth of SDL libs but as long as there's always atleast one piece
missing
I'll
never know if they actually fit together...
I would really like to be able to help out with the Perl/XS bit in
any
way
I
can, particularly the OpenGL bits.

Sdl_Perl forked: testers needed
Hi people, I needed test information on the updated module. Also any feature requests and bugs reports are welcome. Here is the link http://github.org/kthakore/SDL_perl . The most problems seems to be with the building. I have also added a lot of patches and features. P.S yes I will put this on cpan when I get access. It's already in the works. Thank you, Kartik Thakore
