Re: 2 Qs about Module::Build
I'm sorry, I worked through it but forgot to post what the
solutions were, for anyone following this as a thread in the
future. Restating my Qs with As:
Q: How do I block the optimization from the Perl build being
included the cc command? I would prefer to leave it in
the optimization variable in Config for future installs.
A: After the
$build = Module::Build-new( ...operands... );
one can (just for this build not permanently) override
parameters under which perl was built (from Config).
The one I wanted, to override the optimization in the C
compiler used by perl, came out to
$build-config(optimize = $opt);
There are lots of other Config() items that one can apply
this to. I was just spoiled because ExtUtils::MakeMaker
had an explicit
OPTIMIZE = $opt,
in its WriteMakefile() operands.
Q2: What's the easiest way to communicate something from
the Build.PL code to test code?
A2: Similar to the above, after the -new() I did
my $cmd = $build-prompt(
Enter a shell command to be run when the sky is falling:);
if ($cmd) {$build-config_data('cmd' = $cmd)};
Test code can access $cmd with:
$cmd = Module::Build-current-config_data('cmd');
Code that will run after installation of My::Module can access
$cmd with:
use My::Module::ConfigData; # this gets created during the install
$cmd = My::Module::ConfigData-config('cmd');
There's a parallel capability that communicates booleans
called feature(), but since booleans are a subset of
GP values, I suspect features() will be less popular
than config_data.
The web pages Module::Build::API and Module::Build::Cookbook
are where one can learn good stuff like this.
Best Regards to all,
cmac
