I just add this to the bottom of my Makefile.PL.
sub MY::postamble
{
qq[
ppm : ppd pure_all
\t tar cf Gedcom.tar blib
\t gzip --best --force Gedcom.tar
\t \$(PERL) -pi.bak \\
-e 's/(OS NAME=")[^"]*/\$\$1MSWin32/;' \\
-e 's/(ARCHITECTURE NAME=")[^"]*/\$\$1MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/;' \\
-e 's/(CODEBASE HREF=")[^"]*/\$\$1Gedcom.tar.gz/;' \\
Gedcom.ppd
]
}
Yes, this is a Perl only module, which means I can create the ppm on any
platform, but I think the method is also fine for XS modules, provided
of course that blib is populated correctly.
