NAME

Panotools::Makefile::Variable - Assemble Makefile Variable definitions

SYNOPSIS

Simple interface for generating Makefile syntax

DESCRIPTION

Writing Makefiles directly from perl scripts with print and "\t" etc... is prone to error, this library provides a simple perl interface for assembling Makefiles.

USAGE

            

              
              
$var = new Panotools::Makefile::Variable;
            
          

..or define the 'variable name' at the same time:

            

              
              
$var = new Panotools::Makefile::Variable ('USERS');
            
          

..or define the name and values at the same time:

            

              
              
$var = new Panotools::Makefile::Variable ('USERS', 'Andy Pandy');
            
          

Set or query the name:

            

              
              
$var->Name ('USERS');
$text = $var->Name;
            
          

            

              
              
$var->Values ('James Brine', 'George Loveless');
$var->Values ('Thomas Standfield');
            
          

Construct a text fragment that defines this variable suitable for use in a Makefile like so:

            

              
              
$text = $var->Assemble;
