Devel::PatchPerl(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Devel::PatchPerl(3pm)
NAME
Devel::PatchPerl - Patch perl source a la Devel::PPPort's buildperl.pl
VERSION
version 0.72
SYNOPSIS
use strict;
use warnings;
use Devel::PatchPerl;
Devel::PatchPerl->patch_source( '5.6.1', '/path/to/untarred/perl/source/perl-5.6.1' );
DESCRIPTION
Devel::PatchPerl is a modularisation of the patching code contained in Devel::PPPort's "buildperl.pl".
It does not build perls, it merely provides an interface to the source patching functionality.
FUNCTION
"patch_source"
Takes two parameters, a "perl" version and the path to unwrapped perl source for that version. It dies on any errors.
If you don't supply a "perl" version, it will attempt to auto-determine the "perl" version from the specified path.
If you don't supply the path to unwrapped perl source, it will assume the current working directory.
PLUGIN SYSTEM
See Devel::PatchPerl::Plugin for details of Devel::PatchPerl's plugin system.
CAVEAT
Devel::PatchPerl is intended only to facilitate the "building" of perls, not to facilitate the "testing" of perls. This means that it will
not patch failing tests in the perl testsuite.
