extutils::mm_any(3)
NAME
ExtUtils::MM_Any - Platform agnostic MM methods
SYNOPSIS
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY! package ExtUtils::MM_SomeOS; # Temporarily, you have to subclass both. Put MM_Any first. require ExtUtils::MM_Any; require ExtUtils::MM_Unix; @ISA = qw(ExtUtils::MM_Any ExtUtils::Unix);
DESCRIPTION
FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY!
ExtUtils::MM_Any is a superclass for the ExtUtils::MM_*
set of modules. It contains methods which are either
inherently cross-platform or are written in a cross-plat
form manner.
Subclass off of ExtUtils::MM_Any and ExtUtils::MM_Unix.
This is a temporary solution.
THIS MAY BE TEMPORARY!
Inherently Cross-Platform Methods
These are methods which are by their nature cross-platform
and should always be cross-platform.
File::Spec wrappers DEPRECATED
The following methods are deprecated wrappers around
File::Spec functions. They exist from before File::Spec
did and in fact are from which File::Spec sprang.
They are all deprecated. Please use File::Spec directly.
canonpath
catdir
catfile
curdir
file_name_is_absolute
path
rootdir
updir
Thought To Be Cross-Platform Methods
These are methods which are thought to be cross-platform
by virtue of having been written in a way to avoid incom
patibilities.
- test_via_harness
- my $command = $mm->test_via_harness($perl, $tests);
- Returns a $command line which runs the given set of
$tests with Test::Harness and the given $perl. - Used on the t/*.t files.
- test_via_script
- my $command = $mm->test_via_script($perl, $script);
- Returns a $command line which just runs a single test
without Test::Harness. No checks are done on the
results, they're just printed. - Used for test.pl, since they don't always follow
Test::Harness formatting.
