Apache2::Build - Methods for locating and parsing bits of Apache source code
use Apache2::Build (); my $build = Apache2::Build->new; # rebuild mod_perl with build opts from the previous build % cd modperl-2.0 % perl -MApache2::Build -e rebuild
This module provides methods for locating and parsing bits of Apache source code.
Since mod_perl remembers what build options were used to build it, you can use this knowledge to rebuild it using the same options. Simply chdir to the mod_perl source directory and run:
% cd modperl-2.0 % perl -MApache2::Build -e rebuild
If you want to rebuild not yet installed, but already built mod_perl, run from its root directory:
% perl -Ilib -MApache2::Build -e rebuild
Create an object blessed into the Apache2::Build class.
my $build = Apache2::Build->new;
Top level directory where source files are located.
my $dir = $build->dir; -d $dir or die "can't stat $dir $!\n";
Searches for apache source directories, return a list of those found.
Example:
for my $dir ($build->find) {
my $yn = prompt "Configure with $dir ?", "y";
...
}
Print include paths for MakeMaker's INC argument to
WriteMakefile.
Example:
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use Apache2::Build ();
WriteMakefile(
'NAME' => 'Apache2::Module',
'VERSION' => '0.01',
'INC' => Apache2::Build->new->inc,
);
Return the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER defined in the apache source.
Example:
my $mmn = $build->module_magic_number;
Return the server version.
Example:
my $v = $build->httpd_version;
Return other ld flags for MakeMaker's dynamic_lib argument to
WriteMakefile. This might be needed on systems like AIX that need
special flags to the linker to be able to reference mod_perl or httpd
symbols.
Example:
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use Apache2::Build ();
WriteMakefile(
'NAME' => 'Apache2::Module',
'VERSION' => '0.01',
'INC' => Apache2::Build->new->inc,
'dynamic_lib' => {
'OTHERLDFLAGS' => Apache2::Build->new->otherldflags,
},
);
