NAME
Perl::Dist::WiX::DirectoryTree2 - Base directory tree for Perl::Dist::WiX.
VERSION
This document describes Perl::Dist::WiX::DirectoryTree2 version 1.200_101.
SYNOPSIS
$tree = Perl::Dist::WiX::DirectoryTree2->instance();
# See each method for examples.
DESCRIPTION
This is an object that represents the main directory tree for the installer. This tree contains all directories being created that are referenced in more than one fragment, and all directories that need to have specific IDs.
METHODS
new
my $tree = Perl::Dist::WiX::DirectoryTree2->new(
app_dir => 'C:\strawberry',
app_name => 'Strawberry Perl'
);
Creates new directory tree object and creates the 'root' of the tree.
Note that this object is a MooseX::Singleton object, so that you can retrieve the object at any time using the instance()
method.
app_dir
This is set to the distribution's image_dir (where the distribution is going to be installed by default.)
app_name
This is set to the name of the distribution, and is used to set the name of the Start Menu directory containing the distribution's icons.
instance
my $tree = Perl::Dist::WiX::DirectoryTree2->instance();
Returns the previously created directory tree.
get_root
my $directory_object = $tree->get_root();
Gets the Perl::Dist::WiX::Tag::Directory object at the root of the tree.
as_string
my $string = $tree->as_string();
This method returns an XML representation of the directory tree.
initialize_tree
$tree->initialize_tree($perl_version, $bits, $gcc_version);
Adds a basic directory structure to the directory tree object.
initialize_short_tree
$tree->initialize_short_tree();
Adds a basic directory structure to the directory tree object.
This is used when including a merge module that already contains a Perl::Dist::WiX-based perl distribution.
add_directory
$tree->add_directory($directory);
Adds a directory to the tree, including all directories required along the way.
add_root_directory
$self->add_root_directory('Id', 'directory');
Adds a directory entry with the ID and directory name given immediately under the main installation directory.
add_merge_module
$tree->add_merge_module('C:\strawberry', $mergemodule_object);
This method inserts a merge module (referred to by a Perl::Dist::WiX::Tag::MergeModule object) into the directory tree at the specified directory.
search_dir
Calls Perl::Dist::WiX::Directory's search_dir routine on the root directory with the parameters given.
Checks a cache of successful searches if descend and exact are both 1.
