NAME
Perl::Dist::Strawberry::Libraries - Library installation routines for Strawberry Perl
SYNOPSIS
# This is used as an 'additive base" class for
# Perl::Dist::Strawberry and is not intended for use outside of
# Perl::Dist::Strawberry subclasses.DESCRIPTION
Strawberry Perl is a binary distribution of Perl for the Windows operating system. It includes a bundled compiler and pre-installed modules that offer the ability to install XS CPAN modules directly from CPAN.
The purpose of the Strawberry Perl series is to provide a practical Win32 Perl environment for experienced Perl developers to experiment with and test the installation of various CPAN modules under Win32 conditions, and to provide a useful platform for doing real work.
INTERFACE
This class adds additional methods that provide installation support for tools that are included in Strawberry Perl.
install_patch
$dist->install_patch();The install_patch method can be used to install a copy of the Unix patch program into the distribution.
Returns true or throws an exception on error.

$dist->bin_patch();The bin_patch method returns the location of the patch.exe file installed by "install_patch".
install_ppm
$dist->install_ppm;Installs the PPM module, and then customises the temp path to live underneath the strawberry dist.
install_win32_manifest
$dist->install_win32_manifest( 'WX Perl' => 'perl', 'bin', 'wxperl.exe' );Installs a manifest file to make an executable binary look like a "real" Win32 program.
install_pari
$dist->install_pari()The install_pari method install (via a PAR package) libpari and the Math::Pari module into the distribution.
This method should only be called at during the install_modules phase.
install_librarypack

install_libmysql
$dist->install_libmysql()The install_libmysql method installs a library defined in %Perl::Dist::Strawberry::LIBRARIES_S.

SUPPORT
Bugs should be reported via the CPAN bug tracker at
