.SH "NAME"
ExtUtils::MM_Unix \- methods used by ExtUtils::MakeMaker
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& require ExtUtils::MM_Unix;
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The methods provided by this package are designed to be used in
conjunction with ExtUtils::MakeMaker. When MakeMaker writes a
Makefile, it creates one or more objects that inherit their methods
from a package \s-1MM\s0. \s-1MM\s0 itself doesn't provide any methods, but
it \s-1ISA\s0 ExtUtils::MM_Unix class. The inheritance tree of \s-1MM\s0 lets operating
specific packages take the responsibility for all the methods provided
by MM_Unix. We are trying to reduce the number of the necessary
overrides by defining rather primitive operations within
ExtUtils::MM_Unix.
.PP
If you are going to write a platform specific \s-1MM\s0 package, please try
to limit the necessary overrides to primitive methods, and if it is not
possible to do so, let's work out how to achieve that gain.
.PP
If you are overriding any of these methods in your Makefile.PL (in the
\&\s-1MY\s0 class), please report that to the makemaker mailing list. We are
trying to minimize the necessary method overrides and switch to data
driven Makefile.PLs wherever possible. In the long run less methods
will be overridable via the \s-1MY\s0 class.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
The following description of methods is still under
development. Please refer to the code for not suitably documented
sections and complain loudly to the makemaker@perl.org mailing list.
Better yet, provide a patch.
.PP
Not all of the methods below are overridable in a
Makefile.PL. Overridable methods are marked as (o). All methods are
overridable by a platform specific MM_*.pm file.
.PP
Cross-platform methods are being moved into MM_Any.
If you can't find something that used to be in here, look in MM_Any.
.SS "Methods"
.IX Subsection "Methods"
.IP "os_flavor" 4
.IX Item "os_flavor"
Simply says that we're Unix.

into the Makefile.
.IP "makeaperl (o)" 4
.IX Item "makeaperl (o)"
Called by staticmake. Defines how to write the Makefile to produce a
static new perl.
.Sp
By default the Makefile produced includes all the static extensions in
the perl library. (Purified versions of library files, e.g.,
DynaLoader_pure_p1_c0_032.a are automatically ignored to avoid link errors.)
.IP "xs_static_lib_is_xs (o)" 4
.IX Item "xs_static_lib_is_xs (o)"
Called by a utility method of makeaperl. Checks whether a given file
is an \s-1XS\s0 library by seeing whether it defines any symbols starting

.IX Item "parse_abstract"
parse a file and return what you think is the \s-1ABSTRACT\s0
.IP "parse_version" 4
.IX Item "parse_version"
.Vb 1
\& my $version = MM\->parse_version($file);
.Ve
.Sp
Parse a \f(CW$file\fR and return what \f(CW$VERSION\fR is set to by the first assignment.
It will return the string \*(L"undef\*(R" if it can't figure out what \f(CW$VERSION\fR
is. \f(CW$VERSION\fR should be for all to see, so \f(CW\*(C`our $VERSION\*(C'\fR or plain \f(CW$VERSION\fR
are okay, but \f(CW\*(C`my $VERSION\*(C'\fR is not.
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`package Foo VERSION\*(C'\fR is also checked for. The first version
declaration found is used, but this may change as it differs from how
Perl does it.
.Sp
\&\fIparse_version()\fR will try to \f(CW\*(C`use version\*(C'\fR before checking for
\&\f(CW$VERSION\fR so the following will work.
.Sp
.Vb 1
\& $VERSION = qv(1.2.3);
.Ve
.IP "pasthru (o)" 4
.IX Item "pasthru (o)"
Defines the string that is passed to recursive make calls in
subdirectories. The variables like \f(CW\*(C`PASTHRU_DEFINE\*(C'\fR are used in each
level, and passed downwards on the command-line with e.g. the value of
that level's \s-1DEFINE.\s0 Example:
.Sp
.Vb 6
\& # Level 0 has DEFINE = \-Dfunky
\& # This code will define level 0\*(Aqs PASTHRU=PASTHRU_DEFINE="$(DEFINE)
\& # $(PASTHRU_DEFINE)"
\& # Level 0\*(Aqs $(CCCMD) will include macros $(DEFINE) and $(PASTHRU_DEFINE)
\& # So will level 1\*(Aqs, so when level 1 compiles, it will get right values
\& # And so ad infinitum
.Ve
.IP "perl_script" 4
.IX Item "perl_script"
Takes one argument, a file name, and returns the file name, if the
argument is likely to be a perl script. On MM_Unix this is true for
any ordinary, readable file.
.IP "perldepend (o)" 4
.IX Item "perldepend (o)"
Defines the dependency from all *.h files that come with the perl
distribution.
.IP "pm_to_blib" 4
.IX Item "pm_to_blib"
Defines target that copies all files in the hash \s-1PM\s0 to their
destination and autosplits them. See \*(L"\s-1DESCRIPTION\*(R"\s0 in ExtUtils::Install
.IP "ppd" 4
.IX Item "ppd"
Defines target that creates a \s-1PPD \s0(Perl Package Description) file
for a binary distribution.
.IP "prefixify" 4
.IX Item "prefixify"
.Vb 1
\& $MM\->prefixify($var, $prefix, $new_prefix, $default);
.Ve
.Sp
Using either \f(CW$MM\fR\->{uc \f(CW$var\fR} || \f(CW$Config\fR{lc \f(CW$var\fR}, it will attempt to
replace it's \f(CW$prefix\fR with a \f(CW$new_prefix\fR.
.Sp
Should the \f(CW$prefix\fR fail to match \fI\s-1AND\s0\fR a \s-1PREFIX\s0 was given as an
argument to \fIWriteMakefile()\fR it will set it to the \f(CW$new_prefix\fR +
\&\f(CW$default\fR. This is for systems whose file layouts don't neatly fit into
our ideas of prefixes.
.Sp
This is for heuristics which attempt to create directory structures
that mirror those of the installed perl.
.Sp
For example:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\& $MM\->prefixify(\*(Aqinstallman1dir\*(Aq, \*(Aq/usr\*(Aq, \*(Aq/home/foo\*(Aq, \*(Aqman/man1\*(Aq);
.Ve
.Sp
this will attempt to remove '/usr' from the front of the
\&\f(CW$MM\fR\->{\s-1INSTALLMAN1DIR\s0} path (initializing it to \f(CW$Config\fR{installman1dir}
if necessary) and replace it with '/home/foo'. If this fails it will
simply use '/home/foo/man/man1'.
.IP "processPL (o)" 4
.IX Item "processPL (o)"
Defines targets to run *.PL files.
.IP "specify_shell" 4
.IX Item "specify_shell"
Specify \s-1SHELL\s0 if needed \- not done on Unix.
.IP "quote_paren" 4
.IX Item "quote_paren"
Backslashes parentheses \f(CW\*(C`()\*(C'\fR in command line arguments.
Doesn't handle recursive Makefile \f(CW\*(C`$(...)\*(C'\fR constructs,
but handles simple ones.
.IP "replace_manpage_separator" 4
.IX Item "replace_manpage_separator"
.Vb 1
\& my $man_name = $MM\->replace_manpage_separator($file_path);
.Ve
.Sp
Takes the name of a package, which may be a nested package, in the
form 'Foo/Bar.pm' and replaces the slash with \f(CW\*(C`::\*(C'\fR or something else
safe for a man page file name. Returns the replacement.
.IP "cd" 4
.IX Item "cd"
.PD 0
.IP "oneliner" 4
.IX Item "oneliner"
.IP "quote_literal" 4
.IX Item "quote_literal"
.PD
Quotes macro literal value suitable for being used on a command line so
that when expanded by make, will be received by command as given to
this method:
.Sp
.Vb 6
\& my $quoted = $mm\->quote_literal(q{it isn\*(Aqt});
\& # returns:
\& # \*(Aqit isn\*(Aq\e\*(Aq\*(Aqt\*(Aq
\& print MAKEFILE "target:\en\etecho $quoted\en";
\& # when run "make target", will output:
\& # it isn\*(Aqt
.Ve

.IX Item "escape_newlines"
.PD 0
.IP "max_exec_len" 4

have an individual \f(CW\*(C`$(VERSION)\*(C'\fR.
