NAME Dpchrist::Module - utilities for Perl modules DESCRIPTION This documentation describes module revision $Revision: 1.24 $. This is alpha test level software and may change or disappear at any time. This module contains: 1. Override routines for ExtUtils::MakeMaker which add optional rules and/or targets to the Makefile generated by WriteMakefile(). 2. Test scripts I commonly use in my modules. INSTALLATION perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Note that when this module is installed the first time, the command 'perl Makefile.PL' will generate a warning similar to: Can't locate Dpchrist/Module/MakefilePL.pm in @INC (@INC contains: / etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /us r/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at Makefile.PL line 23. The warning may be safely ignored. DEPENDENCIES This module depends upon itself. For the curious, see Makefile.PL in the source distribution root directory for the BEGIN{eval{...}} solution to this chicken-and-egg problem.
