Re: Re: MANIFEST IT!

Ignorance?

Lack of tar?

Make::Maker generates a makefile which has the following variables:

# --- MakeMaker dist section:

DISTVNAME = $(DISTNAME)-$(VERSION)
TAR  = tar
TARFLAGS = cvf
ZIP  = zip
ZIPFLAGS = -r
COMPRESS = gzip --best
SUFFIX = .gz
SHAR = shar
PREOP = @$(NOOP)
POSTOP = @$(NOOP)
TO_UNIX = @$(NOOP)
CI = ci -u
RCS_LABEL = rcs -Nv$(VERSION_SYM): -q
DIST_CP = best
DIST_DEFAULT = tardist

I don't have zip or tar nor do I plan on installing them anytime soon. I am never afraid of installing perl modules however, and always find Archive::Tar installed wherever I go. It is for these kinds of situations that this script is useful. It is a "perl" solution. That is all (I would like to see `perl make' one of these days, no need for make or nmake or dmake or whatever crazy make there is ;D).

I would like to see `perl make' one of these days, no need for make or nmake or dmake or whatever crazy make there is ;D Make.pm?. I came across this beauty a couple of months ago. It comes with pmake, a perl replacement for make/nmake etc. But you can also use the module in your own install scripts.

There are also exist Module::Build module which doesn't try to emulate make but instead suggests make-less solution for Perl module installers. -- Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/)	[reply]

Doesn't Archive::Tar come with a command-line pure-Perl tar, ptar? Chris M-x auto-bs-mode	[reply]
