NAME
Perl::Dist::WiX::Mixin::BuildPerl - 4th generation Win32 Perl distribution builder
VERSION
This document describes Perl::Dist::WiX::Mixin::BuildPerl version 1.250_100.
DESCRIPTION
This module provides (most of) the routines that Perl::Dist::WiX uses in order to build Perl itself.
SYNOPSIS
# This module is not to be used independently.
# It provides methods to be called on a Perl::Dist::WiX object.INTERFACE
install_cpan_upgrades
The install_cpan_upgrades method is provided to upgrade all the modules that were installed with Perl that were not upgraded by the install_perl_toolchain subroutine.
Returns true or throws an exception.
This is recommended to be used as a task in the tasklist, and is in the default tasklist after the "perl toolchain" is installed.
install_perl
The install_perl method is a minimal routine provided to call the _install_perl_plugin routine (which the "perl version" plugins provide.)
Returns true or throws an exception.
This is recommended to be used as a task in the tasklist, and is in the default tasklist after the "c toolchain" is installed.
install_perl_toolchain
The install_perl_toolchain method is a routine provided to install the "perl toolchain": the modules required for CPAN and CPANPLUS to be able to install modules.
Returns true (technically, the object that called it), or throws an exception.
This is recommended to be used as a task in the tasklist, and is in the default tasklist after the perl interpreter is installed.
DIAGNOSTICS
See Perl::Dist::WiX::Diagnostics for a list of exceptions that this module can throw.
