Alien::Build::Interpolate(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation NAME Alien::Build::Interpolate - Advanced interpolation engine for Alien builds VERSION version 2.80 CONSTRUCTOR new my $intr = Alien::Build::Interpolate->new; add_helper $intr->add_helper($name => $code); $intr->add_helper($name => $code, %requirements); replace_helper $intr->replace_helper($name => $code); $intr->replace_helper($name => $code, %requirements); has_helper my $coderef = $intr->has_helper($name); Used to discover if a helper exists with the given name. Returns the code reference. execute_helper my $value = $intr->execute_helper($name); This evaluates the given helper and returns the result. interpolate my $string = $intr->interpolate($template, $build); my $string = $intr->interpolate($template); This takes a template and fills in the appropriate values of any helpers used in the template. [version 2.58] If you pass in an Alien::Build instance as the second argument, you can use properties as well as helpers in the template. Example: my $patch = $intr->template("%{.install.patch}/foo-%{.runtime.version}.patch", $build); requires my %requires = $intr->requires($template); This returns a hash of modules required in order to execute the given template. The keys are the module names and the values are the versions. Version will be set to 0 if any version is sufficient. clone my $intr2 = $intr->clone; This creates a clone of the interpolator.
