NAME

       ExtUtils::Command - utilities to replace common UNIX commands in Makefiles etc.

SYNOPSIS

	 perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cat files... > destination
	 perl -MExtUtils::Command -e mv source... destination
	 perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cp source... destination
	 perl -MExtUtils::Command -e touch files...
	 perl -MExtUtils::Command -e rm_f files...
	 perl -MExtUtils::Command -e rm_rf directories...
	 perl -MExtUtils::Command -e mkpath directories...
	 perl -MExtUtils::Command -e eqtime source destination
	 perl -MExtUtils::Command -e test_f file
	 perl -MExtUtils::Command -e test_d directory
	 perl -MExtUtils::Command -e chmod mode files...
	 ...

DESCRIPTION

       The module is used to replace common UNIX commands.  In all cases the functions work from @ARGV rather than taking arguments.  This makes
       them easier to deal with in Makefiles.  Call them like this:

	 perl -MExtUtils::Command -e some_command some files to work on

       and NOT like this:

	 perl -MExtUtils::Command -e 'some_command qw(some files to work on)'

       For that use Shell::Command.

       Filenames with * and ? will be glob expanded.

   FUNCTIONS
       cat
	       cat file ...

	   Concatenates all files mentioned on command line to STDOUT.

       eqtime
	       eqtime source destination

	   Sets modified time of destination to that of source.

       rm_rf
	       rm_rf files or directories ...

	   Removes files and directories - recursively (even if readonly)

       rm_f
	       rm_f file ...

	   Removes files (even if readonly)

       touch
	       touch file ...

	   Makes files exist, with current timestamp

       mv
	       mv source_file destination_file
	       mv source_file source_file destination_dir

	   Moves source to destination.  Multiple sources are allowed if destination is an existing directory.

	   Returns true if all moves succeeded, false otherwise.

       cp
	       cp source_file destination_file
	       cp source_file source_file destination_dir

	   Copies sources to the destination.  Multiple sources are allowed if destination is an existing directory.

	   Returns true if all copies succeeded, false otherwise.

       chmod
	       chmod mode files ...

	   Sets UNIX like permissions 'mode' on all the files.	e.g. 0666

       mkpath
	       mkpath directory ...

	   Creates directories, including any parent directories.

       test_f
	       test_f file

	   Tests if a file exists.  Exits with 0 if it does, 1 if it does not (ie.  shell's idea of true and false).

       test_d
	       test_d directory

	   Tests if a directory exists.  Exits with 0 if it does, 1 if it does not (ie. shell's idea of true and false).

       dos2unix
	       dos2unix files or dirs ...

	   Converts DOS and OS/2 linefeeds to Unix style recursively.

SEE ALSO

       Shell::Command which is these same functions but take arguments normally.

NAME

       ExtUtils::Command::MM - Commands for the MM's to use in Makefiles

SYNOPSIS

	 perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e "function" "--" arguments...

DESCRIPTION

       FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY!  The interface is not stable.

       ExtUtils::Command::MM encapsulates code which would otherwise have to be done with large "one" liners.

       Any $(FOO) used in the examples are make variables, not Perl.

       test_harness
	     test_harness($verbose, @test_libs);

	   Runs the tests on @ARGV via Test::Harness passing through the $verbose flag.  Any @test_libs will be unshifted onto the test's @INC.

	   @test_libs are run in alphabetical order.

       pod2man
	     pod2man( '--option=value',
		      $podfile1 => $manpage1,
		      $podfile2 => $manpage2,
		      ...
		    );

	     # or args on @ARGV

	   pod2man() is a function performing most of the duties of the pod2man program.  Its arguments are exactly the same as pod2man as of
	   5.8.0 with the addition of:

	       --perm_rw   octal permission to set the resulting manpage to

	   And the removal of:

	       --verbose/-v
	       --help/-h

	   If no arguments are given to pod2man it will read from @ARGV.

	   If Pod::Man is unavailable, this function will warn and return undef.

       warn_if_old_packlist
	     perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e warn_if_old_packlist <somefile>

	   Displays a warning that an old packlist file was found.  Reads the filename from @ARGV.

       perllocal_install
	       perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e perllocal_install
		   <type> <module name> <key> <value> ...

	       # VMS only, key|value pairs come on STDIN
	       perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e perllocal_install
		   <type> <module name> < <key>|<value> ...

	   Prints a fragment of POD suitable for appending to perllocal.pod.  Arguments are read from @ARGV.

	   'type' is the type of what you're installing.  Usually 'Module'.

	   'module name' is simply the name of your module.  (Foo::Bar)

	   Key/value pairs are extra information about the module.  Fields include:

	       installed into	   which directory your module was out into
	       LINKTYPE 	   dynamic or static linking
	       VERSION		   module version number
	       EXE_FILES	   any executables installed in a space seperated
				   list

       uninstall
	       perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e uninstall <packlist>

	   A wrapper around ExtUtils::Install::uninstall().  Warns that uninstallation is deprecated and doesn't actually perform the
	   uninstallation.
