NAME

Perl::Critic::BuildUtilities - Common bits of compiling Perl::Critic.

DESCRIPTION

Various utilities used in assembling Perl::Critic, primary for use by *.PL programs that generate code.

IMPORTABLE SUBROUTINES

get_PL_files()

Returns a reference to a hash with a mapping from the name of a .PL program to an array of the parameters to be passed to it, suited for use by "PL_files" in Module::Build::API or "PL_FILES" in ExtUtils::MakeMaker. May print to STDOUT messages about what it is doing.

dump_unlisted_or_optional_module_versions()

Prints to STDOUT a list of all the unlisted (e.g. things in core like Exporter), optional (e.g. File::Which), or potentially indirect (e.g. Readonly::XS) dependencies, plus their versions, if they're installed.

emit_tar_warning_if_necessary()

On some Solaris systems, tar(1) can't deal with long file names and thus files are not correctly extracted from the tarball. So this prints a warning if the current system is Solaris.
