NAME

Module::Starter::XSimple - Create XS modules with Module::Starter

VERSION

This document describes Module::Starter::XSimple version v0.0.2

DESCRIPTION

Replacement class for Module::Starter::Simple.

Can be used in two ways:

  • Using the commandline

    Pass as an override class to the module-starter script:

    module-starter --module=[modulename] \
    --class=Module::Starter::XSimple
  • Using a config file

    Create a .module-starter/config file with at least the following:

    author:  your name
    email:   your_address@example.com
    builder: Module::Build
    plugins: Module::Starter::XSimple

    At present, M::S::XSimple only supports Module::Build, because the XS and associated files locations are different between Module::Build and ExtUtils::ModuleMaker.

All methods are replacements or additions to the methods provided by Module::Starter::Simple.

Build_PL_guts

Creates the custom Build.PL file for the generated module.

create_modules

Creates the .PM, .XS, and typemap files for each requested module. Calls the following three subs:

module_guts

Generates the .PM file from skeleton code.

xsmodule_guts

Generates the .XS file from skeleton code.

typemap_guts

Generates the typemap file from skeleton code.

module_path_create

Replacement sub for M::S::Simple routine; permits the caller to set the file extension when creating non .PM files.

rtname

Generate the special e-mail address to use when reporting bugs via rt.cpan.org.
