=item make_install_arg
Parameters for the 'make install' command?
Typical frequently used setting:
UNINST=1 # to always uninstall potentially conflicting files
Your choice:
=item make_install_make_command
Do you want to use a different make command for 'make install'?
Cautious people will probably prefer:
su root -c make
or
sudo make
or
/path1/to/sudo -u admin_account /path2/to/make
or some such. Your choice:
=item mbuildpl_arg
A Build.PL is run by perl in a separate process. Likewise we run
'./Build' and './Build install' in separate processes. If you have any
parameters you want to pass to the calls, please specify them here.
Typical frequently used settings:
--install_base /home/xxx # different installation directory
Parameters for the 'perl Build.PL' command?
=item mbuild_arg
Parameters for the './Build' command? Setting might be:
--extra_linker_flags -L/usr/foo/lib # non-standard library location
Your choice:
=item mbuild_install_arg
Parameters for the './Build install' command? Typical frequently used
setting:
--uninst 1 # uninstall conflicting files
Your choice:
=item mbuild_install_build_command
Do you want to use a different command for './Build install'? Sudo
users will probably prefer:
su root -c ./Build
or
sudo ./Build
or
/path1/to/sudo -u admin_account ./Build
or some such. Your choice:
=item pager
What is your favorite pager program?
=item prefer_installer
When you have Module::Build installed and a module comes with both a
Makefile.PL and a Build.PL, which shall have precedence?
The main two standard installer modules are the old and well
established ExtUtils::MakeMaker (for short: EUMM) which uses the
Makefile.PL. And the next generation installer Module::Build (MB)
which works with the Build.PL (and often comes with a Makefile.PL
too). If a module comes only with one of the two we will use that one
but if both are supplied then a decision must be made between EUMM and
MB. See also http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=29235 for a
discussion about the right default.
Or, as a third option you can choose RAND which will make a random
decision (something regular CPAN testers will enjoy).
In case you can choose between running a Makefile.PL or a Build.PL,
which installer would you prefer (EUMM or MB or RAND)?
=item prefs_dir
CPAN.pm can store customized build environments based on regular
expressions for distribution names. These are YAML files where the
default options for CPAN.pm and the environment can be overridden and
dialog sequences can be stored that can later be executed by an
Expect.pm object. The CPAN.pm distribution comes with some prefab YAML
files that cover sample distributions that can be used as blueprints
to store one own prefs. Please check out the distroprefs/ directory of
the CPAN.pm distribution to get a quick start into the prefs system.
