In Parrot::Configure::Options, we can set a value for this option:
exec-prefix
This option is processed during configuration by config/init/install.pm:
my $eprefix = $conf->options->get('exec-prefix') || $prefix;
But when it comes to actually setting a key-value pair in the Parrot::Configure
object, exec-hyphen-prefix becomes exec-underscore-prefix (as it would have to
meet Perl5 rules for hash keys).
$conf->data->set(
prefix => $prefix,
exec_prefix => $eprefix,
...
So in the interface we're using a hyphen, but internally we're using an
underscore. Is it too late in our development process to clear up this
inconsistency?
It should be noted that there are 5 other options using hyphens:
icu-config
verbose-step
without-gdbm
without-gmp
without-icu
... while there is only one option currently using underscores:
parrot_is_shared
What's the best course of action?
