.SH NAME
Module::Install::MakeMaker \- Extension Rules for ExtUtils::MakeMaker
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
In your \fIMakefile.PL\fR:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    use inc::Module::Install;
\&    WriteMakefile();
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module is a wrapper around \fBExtUtils::MakeMaker\fR.  It exports
two functions: \f(CW\*(C`prompt\*(C'\fR (an alias for \f(CW\*(C`ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt\*(C'\fR)
and \f(CW\*(C`WriteMakefile\*(C'\fR.
.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`WriteMakefile\*(C'\fR function will pass on keyword/value pair functions
to \f(CW\*(C`ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteMakefile\*(C'\fR. The required parameters
\&\f(CW\*(C`NAME\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`VERSION\*(C'\fR (or \f(CW\*(C`VERSION_FROM\*(C'\fR) are not necessary if
it can find them unambiguously in your code.
.SH "CONFIGURATION OPTIONS"
.IX Header "CONFIGURATION OPTIONS"
This module also adds some Configuration parameters of its own:
.SS NAME
.IX Subsection "NAME"
The NAME parameter is required by \fBExtUtils::MakeMaker\fR. If you have a
single module in your distribution, or if the module name indicated by
the current directory exists under \fIlib/\fR, this module will use the
guessed package name as the default.
.PP
If this module can't find a default for \f(CW\*(C`NAME\*(C'\fR it will ask you to specify
it manually.
.SS VERSION
.IX Subsection "VERSION"
\&\fBExtUtils::MakeMaker\fR requires either the \f(CW\*(C`VERSION\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`VERSION_FROM\*(C'\fR
parameter.  If this module can guess the package's \f(CW\*(C`NAME\*(C'\fR, it will attempt
to parse the \f(CW\*(C`VERSION\*(C'\fR from it.
.PP
If this module can't find a default for \f(CW\*(C`VERSION\*(C'\fR it will ask you to
specify it manually.
.SH "MAKE TARGETS"
.IX Header "MAKE TARGETS"
\&\fBExtUtils::MakeMaker\fR provides you with many useful \f(CW\*(C`make\*(C'\fR targets. A
\&\f(CW\*(C`make\*(C'\fR \fBtarget\fR is the word you specify after \f(CW\*(C`make\*(C'\fR, like \f(CW\*(C`test\*(C'\fR
for \f(CW\*(C`make test\*(C'\fR. Some of the more useful targets are:
.IP \(bu 4
all
.Sp
This is the default target. When you type \f(CW\*(C`make\*(C'\fR it is the same as
entering \f(CW\*(C`make all\*(C'\fR. This target builds all of your code and stages it
in the \f(CW\*(C`blib\*(C'\fR directory.
.IP \(bu 4
test
.Sp
Run your distribution's test suite.
.IP \(bu 4
install
.Sp
Copy the contents of the \f(CW\*(C`blib\*(C'\fR directory into the appropriate
directories in your Perl installation.
.IP \(bu 4
dist
.Sp
Create a distribution tarball, ready for uploading to CPAN or sharing
with a friend.
.IP \(bu 4
clean distclean purge
.Sp
Remove the files created by \f(CW\*(C`perl Makefile.PL\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`make\*(C'\fR.
.IP \(bu 4
help
.Sp
Same as typing \f(CW\*(C`perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker\*(C'\fR.
.PP
This module modifies the behaviour of some of these targets, depending
on your requirements, and also adds the following targets to your Makefile:
.IP \(bu 4
cpurge
.Sp
Just like purge, except that it also deletes the files originally added
by this module itself.
.IP \(bu 4
chelp
.Sp
Short cut for typing \f(CW\*(C`perldoc Module::Install\*(C'\fR.
.IP \(bu 4
distsign
.Sp
Short cut for typing \f(CW\*(C`cpansign \-s\*(C'\fR, for \fBModule::Signature\fR users to
sign the distribution before release.
