Description: module-build@perl.org (Moderated)
 

running Build... how to run parallel? 
  In the pod for Module::Build, it says: I don't like the core idea of "MakeMaker", namely that "make" should be involved in the build process. ... But the benefit of using makefiles is readily apparent for those Perl modules that use MakeMaker... they can automatically make... more »

How to create META.json using Module::Build and how to link to the VCS? 
  Hi, recently I wrote an article how people could include a link to their version control system in the META.yml file. [link] After getting a few comments I found out that beside the link to the repository one could also include the type of... more »

Fwd: [rt.cpan.org #82306] Not building for Perl 5.16 on Windows 
  I submitted a bug to rjbs about one of his modules not building on Windows. He's kicked back that it's actually a Module::Build error. Looking at the build log, it appears he's correct: [link]... more »

How To Build A Perl Package Database 
  ... ... No, that is not our problem. Our problem is that we want to handle it ourselves. This may have been a good approach in the dark ages, but nowadays there are better solutions. ... ... Debian, and most other systems have decent package- and install managers. *They* maintain the database with installed distributions,... more »

Uninstalling obsolete module files 
  Hello It would be cool if a module could obsolete other module. For instance, I noticed that Net::DNS no longer installs Net::DNS::Domain. This means the Domain.pm file will be hanging in the system until a full reinstall of the perl module tree is done. Just like one can specify a list of PM files in the distribution, it... more »

The get_options Argument to new() 
  I managed to get around this using the args() method, so this isn't a critical problem. But I was wondering if I used the get_options argument incorrectly. What I had was: my $test_all = 0; my $build = Module::Build->new( my $build = $class->new( license => 'perl', get_options => {... more »

Passing Options to Test Files 
  I have tests in a module that take a long time to run. Strictly speaking, the CPAN testers don't need to run all of them, so it makes sense to have them automatically skipped, letting me run them manually when I want. Reading the Module::Build::API document, I see that I can create my own option (e.g., --Testall) using the get_options parameter. But it looks... more »

subclassing Action_install 
  ... Hi Boyd, I get `Can't use string ("Module::Build::Custom") as a HASH ref...` (perl 5.10 shiny feature: tells you the string.) Note that the cookbook example says `$class->new(...)->create_buil d_script` and your code essentially says `$class->new(...); $class->create_build_script`, which... more »

added check for shell in installed script 
  Hi there, I found the following line added to a script that I created with Module::Build 0.4 and used Module::Build 0.38 to install eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -wT -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' if 0; # not running under some shell I wasn't expecting that and I'm not sure that I want it. It doesn't mention... more »

MYMETA Files Not Getting Packed 
  Are MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json not meant to be part of a perl package? I admit to adding them to the MANIFEST without considering it. What I found more interesting is that the MYMETA files were not included in the package. I'm assuming this is an out-right error -- even if the MYMETA files are... more »
