NAME

File::ConfigDir::Install - Install (into) configuration directories

SYNOPSIS

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use File::ConfigDir::Install;

install_config 'etc';

WriteMakefile( ... );       # As you normaly would

package MY;
use File::ConfigDir::Install qw(:MY);

DESCRIPTION

File::ConfigDir::Install allows you to install configuration files from a distribution.

EXPORT

:CONFIG

This tag contains the functions for configration stage of Makefile.PL

install_config

This function allows adding directories to be scanned for (config-)files which will be installed in a later stage.

:MY

postamble

Wrapper around ExtUtils::MY::postamble to inject a "config::" target into Makefile

install

Wrapper around ExtUtils::MY::install to inject install rules for config files. Injected rules are

perl

add "$(INST_ETC)" "$(DESTINSTALLETC)" to pure_perl_install target,

site

add "$(INST_ETC)" "$(DESTINSTALLSITEETC)" to pure_site_install target,

vendor

and add "$(INST_ETC)" "$(DESTINSTALLVENDORETC)" to pure_vendor_install target.

constants

Wrapper around ExtUtils::MY::constants to inject install constants for config files.

LIMITATIONS

This early stage version has some limitations

• It is not trivially possible to mix this with other MakeMaker extensions overloading constants, install or postamble, respectively.

  A reasonable solution (around, Exporter::Tiny ?) is required ...

• Target directory is limited to static guess from one of "core_cfg_dir" in File::ConfigDir, "site_cfg_dir" in File::ConfigDir or "vendor_cfg_dir" in File::ConfigDir, respectively.

  A reasonable way to override might be more packager- and user-friendly.

• No VMS support

  Needs to be hacked ...
