Perl::Dist::WiX::Mixin::BuildPerl - 4th generation Win32 Perl distribution builder
This document describes Perl::Dist::WiX::Mixin::BuildPerl version 1.500001.
This module provides (most of) the routines that Perl::Dist::WiX uses in order to build Perl itself.
# This module is not to be used independently. # It provides methods to be called on a Perl::Dist::WiX object.
The install_cpan_upgrades method is provided to upgrade all the modules that were installed with Perl that were not upgraded by the install_perl_toolchain subroutine.
install_cpan_upgrades
Returns true or throws an exception.
This is recommended to be used as a task in the tasklist, and is in the default tasklist after the "perl toolchain" is installed.
The install_perl method is a minimal routine provided to call the _install_perl_plugin routine (which the "perl version" plugins provide.)
install_perl
_install_perl_plugin
This is recommended to be used as a task in the tasklist, and is in the default tasklist after the "c toolchain" is installed.
The install_perl_toolchain method is a routine provided to install the "perl toolchain": the modules required for CPAN and CPANPLUS to be able to install modules.
install_perl_toolchain
Returns true (technically, the object that called it), or throws an exception.
This is recommended to be used as a task in the tasklist, and is in the default tasklist after the perl interpreter is installed.
See Perl::Dist::WiX::Diagnostics for a list of exceptions that this module can throw.
