Data section

Data section

Module::Build::Convert comes with a rather huge data section, that contains the argument conversion table, default arguments, sorting order, begin & end code. If you wish to change this data, you should consider making a ~/.make2buildrc that will consist of this data by launching make2build with the -rc switch. You shouldn't (!) edit the data section within Module::Build::Convert directly, unless you are sure you want to submit a patch.

The sections are enlisted as:

Argument conversion

On the left-hand side is the MakeMaker's argument name, on the right-hand side the Module::Build's equivalent.

Example 5.

DISTNAME              dist_name
ABSTRACT              dist_abstract
AUTHOR                dist_author
VERSION               dist_version
VERSION_FROM          dist_version_from
PREREQ_PM             requires
PL_FILES              PL_files
PM                    pm_files
MAN1PODS              pod_files
XS                    xs_files
INC                   include_dirs
INSTALLDIRS           installdirs
DESTDIR               destdir
CCFLAGS               extra_compiler_flags
EXTRA_META            meta_add
SIGN                  sign
LICENSE               license
clean.FILES           @add_to_cleanup

Default arguments

Default Module::Build arguments to be added. Arguments with a leading # are ignored.

Example 6. 

#build_requires       HASH
#recommends           HASH
#conflicts            HASH
license               unknown
create_readme         1
create_makefile_pl    traditional

Sorting order

Module::Build arguments are sorted as enlisted herein.

Example 7. 

module_name
dist_name
dist_abstract
dist_author
dist_version
dist_version_from
requires
build_requires
recommends
conflicts
PL_files
pm_files
pod_files
xs_files
include_dirs
installdirs
destdir
add_to_cleanup
extra_compiler_flags
meta_add
sign
license
create_readme
create_makefile_pl

Begin code

Code that preceeds converted Module::Build arguments. $(UPPERCASE) are stubs being substituted by Module::Build code.

Example 8. 

use strict;
use warnings;

use Module::Build;

$MAKECODE

my $b = Module::Build->new
$INDENT(

End code

Code that follows converted Module::Build arguments. $(UPPERCASE) are stubs being substituted by Module::Build code.

Example 9. 

$INDENT);

$b->create_build_script;

$MAKECODE
