NAME

App::Mypp - Maintain Your Perl Project

VERSION

0.11

DESCRIPTION

mypp is a result of me getting tired of doing the same stuff - or rather forgetting to do the same stuff - for each of my Perl projects. mypp does not feature the same things as Dist::Zilla, but I would like to think of mypp vs dzil as cpanm vs CPAN - or at least that is what I'm aiming for. (!) What I don't want to do is configure anything, so 1) it should just work 2) it might not work as you want it to.

Want to try it out? Run the line below in your favourite terminal:

wget -q http://github.com/jhthorsen/app-mypp/raw/master/script/mypp-packed -O - | perl -

Running that line will start the experimental code from github - meaning the latest release. Run at own risk - and don't forget to put your files under version control first!

SAMPLE CONFIG FILE

---
# Default to a converted version of top_module
name: Foo-Bar

# Default to a converted version of the project folder
# Example: ./foo-bar/lib/Foo/Bar.pm, were "foo-bar" is the
# project folder.
top_module: lib/Foo/Bar.pm 

# Default to a converted version of top_module.
top_module_name: Foo::Bar 

# Default to CPAN::Uploader. Can also be set through
# MYPP_SHARE_MODULE environment variable.
share_extension: AnyModuleName

# Not in use if share_extension == CPAN::Uploader. Usage:
# share_extension->upload_file($dist_file, share_params);
share_params: [ { answer: 42 } ]

All config params are optional, since mypp tries to figure out the information for you.

SHARING THE MODULE

By default the CPAN::Uploader module is used to upload the module to CPAN. This module uses $HOME/.pause to find login details:

user your_pause_username
password your_secret_pause_password

It also uses git to push changes and tag a new release:

git commit -a -m "$message_from_changes_file"
git tag "$latest_version_in_changes_file"
git push origin $current_branch
git push --tags origin

The commit and tagging is done with -dist, while pushing the changes to origin is done with -share.

Changes

The expected format in Changes is:

Some random header, for Example:
Revision history for Foo-Bar

0.02
 * Fix something
 * Add something else

0.01 Tue Apr 20 19:34:15 CEST 2010
 * First release
 * Add some feature

mypp automatically adds the date before creating a dist.

ATTRIBUTES

config

$hash = $self->config;

Holds the config from mypp.yml or MYPP_CONFIG environment variable.

name

Holds the project name. The project name is extracted from the "top_module", unless set in config file. Example: foo-bar.

top_module

Holds the top module location. This path is extracted from either name in the config file or the basename of the project. Example value: lib/Foo/Bar.pm.

The project might look like this:

./foo-bar/lib/Foo/Bar.pm

Where "foo-bar" is the basename.

top_module_name

Returns the top module name, extracted from "top_module". Example value: Foo::Bar.

changes

Holds the latest information from Changes. Example:

{
  text => qq(0.03 .... \n * Something has changed),
  version => 0.03,
}

dist_file

Returns the name of the target dist file.

pause_info

Holds information from $HOME/.pause. See CPAN::Uploader for details. Example:

{
  user => 'johndoe',
  password => 's3cret',
}

share_extension

Holds the classname of the module which should be used for sharing. This value can either come from the config file or the MYPP_SHARE_MODULE environment variable, or fallback to CPAN::Uploader.

share_params

This attribute must hold an array ref, since it is flattened into a list when used as an argument to "share_extension"'s upload_file() method.

perl5lib

This attribute holds an array-ref of optional perl library search directories. This attribute is used when setting up use lib in generated files and will also be unshifted on @INC in "new()"

NOTE! This was set by PERL5LIB environment variable in prior versions, but this is now deprecated.

METHODS

new

$self = App::Mypp->new;

This is the object constructor.

Will use "perl5lib" to set up @INC, to search for libraries in optional directories.

timestamp_to_changes

Inserts a timestamp in Changes on the first line looking like this:

^\d+\.[\d_]+\s*$

update_version_info

Updates version in the top module, with the latest version from Changes.

generate_readme

Generates a README file from the plain old documentation in top module.

clean

Removes all files which should not be part of your repo.

makefile

Creates a Makefile.PL, unless it already exists.

requires(lib|t)

Searches for required modules in either the lib/ or t/ directory.

manifest

Creates MANIFEST and MANIFEST.SKIP.

make($what);

Creates Makefile.PL, unless it already exists, then run perl on the make script, and then execute make $what.

tag_and_commit

Commits with the text from Changes and create a tag.

share_via_git

Uses git to push changes and tags to "origin". The changes are pushed to the currently active branch.

share_via_extension

Uses the "share_extension" module and upload the dist file.

t_pod

Create/update t/99-pod-coverage.t and t/99-pod.t or t/00-pod-coverage.t and t/00-pod.t.

(Doesn't make any sense to wait with the pod tests to step 99)

t_load

Creates t/00-load.t.

help

Displays "SYNOPSIS".
