NAME

Task::Smoke - Install modules required for Pugs-like smoke system

VERSION

Version 0.10

SYNOPSIS

cpan Task::Smoke

DESCRIPTION

Perl6::Pugs is an experimental implementation of Perl 6. It does not have many prerequisites by itself: merely perl 5.6.1 or 5.8.3, and a decently new ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

If you wish to run the powerful smoke test system that comes with pugs, however, you'll need these modules. Once installed, you can run a smoke test and generate a colorful smoke.html by running the following command in the pugs build directory:

make smoke

You are encouraged to submit your results to the public smokeserver, especially if you run on an uncommon platform:

perl util/smokeserv/smoke-client.pl smoke.html

Non-Pugs usage

You are invited to use this system in your Perl 5 projects, though currently this may require some tweaking. Plase see the talk http://perlcabal.org/~gaal/pugstest/start.html, "Reusing the Pugs Smoke System", for this end.

Note on YAML providers

This bundle installs either YAML::Syck or YAML.pm, depending on your build environment. YAML::Syck is faster, but requires a c build capabilities.
