Greetings, I'm trying to move a rather large package to Module::Build. It has lot's of custom built-time config so I moved away from MM a while ago and have used a hack for a while. I have to rely on .PL files a lot now to do config stuff and I was wondering whether there is an interface in Module::Build to get build variables. Basicly I want to know the run-time equivalent of the contents of _build/build_params. The hack would be to read build_params myself, but this won't be portable I guess; also if the user supplies commandline arguments to ./Build they get ignored. If Module::Build does not provide this (yet) I will write a patch that ads an option to dumps the run-time variables to a tmp file. Do you plan to have the 'checkdeps' (check dependenies) and 'installdeps' (install dependencies from CPAN) actions ? Would you include these if I send you a patch ? Nice work so far, like it better then MM allready :) Jaap Karssenberg <pa...@cp...> PS. sorry for not directly using the list - didn't see it at first P.P.S. And another question, where do I leave extra manpages for section 1, could there be a equivalent for 'pod_files', 'pod1_files' or something similar ? -- ) ( Jaap Karssenberg || Pardus [Larus] | |0| | : : http://pardus-larus.student.utwente.nl/~pardus | | |0| ) \ / ( |0|0|0| ",.*'*.," Proud owner of "Perl6 Essentials" 1st edition :) wannabe |
