VERSION

version 0.012

SYNOPSIS

ExtUtils::Builder::Node->new(
    target       => $target_name,
    dependencies => \@dependencies,
    actions      => \@actions,
);

DESCRIPTION

A node is the equivalent of a makefile entry. In essence it boils down to its three attributes: target (the name of the target), dependencies(the names of the dependencies) and actions. A Node is a composite action, meaning that in can be executed or serialized as a whole.

ATTRIBUTES

target

The target filename of this node.

dependencies

The (file)names of the dependencies of this node.

actions

A list of actions for this node.

type

This must be one of file or phony. In the latter case the target will not be represented on the filesystem.

phony

Deprecated.

Instead, pass type => 'phony'

METHODS

mergeable

This returns true if a node is mergeable, i.e. it's phony and has no actions.
