There are more if you point your favorite search engine at
nntp.perl.org/group/perl.module.build and ask about plugins.
Thanks, I'll take a look.
How hard can it be? (He asks, ignoring the dragons.)
The dragons I've seen are the difficulty of testing and lack of
coverage - particularly with regard to multiple environments and
configurations.
Eh. You do what you can. I added filters to SVN::Notify, and testing
was a bit tricky, but not bad.
Huh? Plugins can be distributed separately, with their own
dependencies, I'm sure.
If a plugin is not needed for the 'build', 'test', or 'install'
targets
on a target (user) machine, there should be a way to make it optional.
That can come later. We should do things incrementally -- or else
they'd never get done at all.
We also have to make sure that whatever gets printed to the
compatibility Makefile.PL accounts for that or uses a plain M::B - or
just refuse to write a Makefile.PL if it's not easily solvable.
Right. That shouldn't be hard, either.
Best,
David
