=head1 NAME
Perl::Configure::Questions - Questions asked by perl's Configure
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Perl::Configure::Questions;
my $q = Perl::Configure::Questions->new();
# Add a new (customized) token/question
$q->add($token, $question, $sample_answer, $override)
# These are used by Perl::Configure internally
my @questions = $q->questions();
my @patterns = $q->patterns();
my @tokens = $q->tokens();
my $by_key = $q->by_key();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<questions()> returns a list of questions asked by perl's Configure.
C<patterns()> just runs a quotemeta() on the strings returned by
@questions. This module is used internally by Perl::Configure.
=head2 Question Format
The questions recognized by C<Perl::Configure> are stored in YAML format
in the __DATA__ section of C<Perl::Configure::Questions>:
...
---
- vendor-specific-prefix
- Installation prefix to use for vendor-supplied add-ons?
- '/foobar'
---
...
The first line in each tuple (separated by --- according to YAML rules)
holds the token, C<vendor-specific-prefix> in the example above. The second
line shows the question regular expression and the third line a
'sample answer', which is just used for documentation purposes.
=head2 Overriding Configure's defaults by default
If there is an optional forth line specifying an override answer,
Perl::Configure will use this answer on a match that does not have
an answer defined by the user. For example, when a part of the installation
path is missing, perl's Configure will ask "Use that name anyway?" and
provide "n" as a default. This, of course, is unfortunate, since accepting
the default will cause Configure to pop the question again and have
Perl::Configure enter an endless loop.
For this reason, "dir-check" has a fourth parameter defined that overrides
Configure's default of "n" with "y":
- dir-check
- Use that name anyway?
- n
- y
Same holds true for the question of reusing an existing config.sh file,
which gets overridden to "n" to start from a clean slate every time.
=head2 Fuzzy matching
Note that regex meta characters in the question line are B<not> escaped.
Instead, if a part of the question should match I<any> text, use the
ANY{...} clause:
...
---
- compiler-flags-special
- Any special flags to pass to ANY{cc -c} to compile shared library modules?
- '-fpic'
---
...
This will cause the question matcher to accept any text instead of
C<cc -c>, which comes in handy if Configure dynamically replaces these
parts based on previous selections.
=head2 Remove questions
To debug problems with automatically provided answers that cause
endless loops during the configuration process, it sometimes helps
to remove a question from the Perl::Configure pool:
my $q = Perl::Configure::Questions->new();
$q->remove('dynamic-extensions');
my $conf = Perl::Configure->new( questions => $q );
In this example, Perl::Configure won't recognize the question on dynamic
extentions anymore and therefore block the Configure process at this question,
allowing the operator to examine the question and the proposed answer
thoroughly.
