There are a number of methods implemented in Module::Build that would be useful to subclassers, but that aren't documented. There are also some that I'd like to tweak the docs for. So here's what I propose: - document the following methods so that subclassers can take advantage of them: -- make_executable -- depends_on -- rscan_dir -- run_perl_script -- do_system -- copy_if_modified -- up_to_date - I'd also like to see it documented that the check_installed_version method works as a class method. Unfortunately, it only works as class method if the version given as the optional second argument is a simple number, not a more complex spec. I think this is actually a bug in the implementation, since in all cases, its called internally with the spec as an argument. I'm currently working on converting Alzabo's (fairly complex) build/install code to Module::Build, and I'm hoping to use this work as the basis for an upcoming perl.com article about Module::Build, so I want to get all this settled before I actually write an article about it ;) -dave /*======================= House Absolute Consulting www.houseabsolute.com =======================*/ |
