Thanks
GPW!

ExtUtils::MakeMaker

-

Build and
install perl
distributions

-

Makefile.PL

-

Makefile

-

  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  make test
  make install

-

Create perl
distributions

-

  make manifest
  make distdir
  make disttest
  make dist

-

Perl dists
are not just
for CPAN

-

Module::Build
Module::Install

-

Module::Build

-

Upsides

-

pure
perl

-

  perl Build.PL
  perl Build
  perl Build test
  perl Build install

-

Provides extra
author side
tooling

-

  ./Build testcover
  ./Build testpod
  ./Build testpodcoverage

-

  ./Build installdeps

-

Simple
subclassing

-

Downsides

-

Compat
history

-

--install_base
(2006)

-

Module::Build
upgrades before
Build (2010)

-

Ideal world
architecture

-

configure_requires

-

  cpan Catalyst
  && cpan Catalyst

-

Insufficiently
defensive

-

  use YAML;

-

Module::Build
failed to load

-

  use YAML::Node;

-

Opaque

-

"but it's
just perl"

Uses
MakeMaker

-

makemaker_args()

-

  make installdeps

-

  make installdeps
  make upload

-

Lots of

ExtUtils::MakeMaker

-

Upsides

-

Installed
everywhere

-

Well known
standard

-

Cross platform
Cross make
Cross compiler 

-

Surprisingly
powerful

-

Makefile
mangling

-

  perl -pi -e
    's/.../...'
    Makefile

-

  make -n
    | perl -pi -e
        's/.../.../'
    | sh

-

Downsides

-

Can't have
dependencies

-

Can't use
newer perl
features

-

Cross platform
make *hurts*

-

"Old"

-

Few new
features

-

No longer
widely
understood

-

That, I
can fix.
