Fantastic feedback thank you. I have put up a few emails in the last few
days asking people how I can mark a CPAN module to be only available to
one platform.
In this case I have:
Device::ParallelPort
. An API which should work on all platforms.
. Requires a working driver
Device::ParallelPort::JayCar
. A device which uses Device::ParallelPort to work
. Works anywhere that Device::ParallelPort and a driver work correctly
Device::ParallelPort::drv::linux
. Linux only driver
Device::ParallelPort::drv::parport
. Linux only driver
Device::ParallelPort::drv::win32
. Windows 32 only driver
. (not uploaded nearly finished)
Device::ParallelPort::drv::freebsd
. FreeBSD only driver
. (just started on this one).
Sorry I did not include a test for JayCar that was definitely an
oversight which I will fix now.
Can you suggest a way I can limit drivers to a particular platform thus
making it so in your case you would only have to check the free BSD
versions and not windows versions?
