DESCRIPTION

This module provides a reference implementation of the CPAN::Static::Spec.

FUNCTIONS

supports_static_install($meta)

This returns returns the version of the CPAN::Static spec for this dist. It returns undef if no version is declared or if the declared version is not supported. $meta is a CPAN::Meta object, if undefined it will be loaded from META.json.

configure(%options)

This function takes the following options, whose semantics are described in detail in CPAN::API::BuildPL.

• static_version

  The version of the CPAN::Static spec to use, as returned by supports_static_install.

• destdir

  A string containing the destination directory

• installdirs

  The type of installdirs, one of 'site', 'vendor' or 'core'.

• install_base

  The path to the install base.

• install_path

  A hash describing the install path for different target types.

• uninst

  A boolean value enabling uninstalling older versions.

• verbose

  The verbosity of the actions.

• config

  %Config entries to be override. This should either be a hash of overrides, or an ExtUtils::Config object.

• jobs

  Suggest a certain number of jobs to be run in parallel.

build()

This will build the dist.

test()

This will run the tests for the distribution.

install()

This will install the dist.

opts_from_args_list

This turns a list of arguments into a %options hash for configure, the same way a Build.PL implementation would.
