NAME

Panotools::Makefile::Variable - Assemble Makefile Variable definitions

SYNOPSIS

Simple interface for generating Makefile syntax

DESCRIPTION

Writing Makefiles directly from perl scripts with print and "\t" etc... is prone to error, this library provides a simple perl interface for assembling Makefiles.

USAGE

$var = new Panotools::Makefile::Variable;

..or define the 'variable name' at the same time:

$var = new Panotools::Makefile::Variable ('USERS');

..or define the name and values at the same time:

$var = new Panotools::Makefile::Variable ('USERS', 'Andy Pandy');

Set or query the name:

$var->Name ('USERS');
$text = $var->Name;

$var->Values ('James Brine', 'George Loveless');
$var->Values ('Thomas Standfield');

Construct a text fragment that defines this variable suitable for use in a Makefile like so:

$text = $var->Assemble;
