Apache2::Build(3pm)

NAME

Apache2::Build - Methods for locating and parsing bits of Apache source code

SYNOPSIS

use Apache2::Build ();
my $build = Apache2::Build->new;

# rebuild mod_perl with build opts from the previous build
% cd modperl-2.0
% perl -MApache2::Build -e rebuild

DESCRIPTION

This module provides methods for locating and parsing bits of Apache
source code.

Since mod_perl remembers what build options were used to build it, you can use this knowledge to rebuild it using the same options. Simply
chdir to the mod_perl source directory and run:

% cd modperl-2.0
% perl -MApache2::Build -e rebuild

If you want to rebuild not yet installed, but already built mod_perl,
run from its root directory:

% perl -Ilib -MApache2::Build -e rebuild

METHODS

new Create an object blessed into the Apache2::Build class.

my $build = Apache2::Build->new;

dir Top level directory where source files are located.

my $dir = $build->dir;
-d $dir or die "can't stat $dir $!\n";

find

Searches for apache source directories, return a list of those
found.

Example:

for my $dir ($build->find) {

my $yn = prompt "Configure with $dir ?", "y";
...

}

inc Print include paths for MakeMaker's INC argument to

"WriteMakefile".

Example:

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

use Apache2::Build ();

WriteMakefile(

'NAME' => 'Apache2::Module',
'VERSION' => '0.01',
'INC' => Apache2::Build->new->inc,

);

module_magic_number

Return the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER defined in the apache source.

Example:

my $mmn = $build->module_magic_number;

httpd_version

Return the server version.

Example:

my $v = $build->httpd_version;

otherldflags

Return other ld flags for MakeMaker's dynamic_lib argument to "WriteMakefile". This might be needed on systems like AIX that need special flags to the linker to be able to reference mod_perl or
httpd symbols.

Example:

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

use Apache2::Build ();

WriteMakefile(

'NAME' => 'Apache2::Module',
'VERSION' => '0.01',
'INC' => Apache2::Build->new->inc,
'dynamic_lib' => {

'OTHERLDFLAGS' => Apache2::Build->new->otherldflags,

},

);
