NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ModuleBuild::XSOrPP - Add a --pp option to your Build.PL to force an XS-less build

VERSION

version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

In your dist.ini:

   [ModuleBuild::XSOrPP]

DESCRIPTION

Use this plugin instead of the regular ModuleBuild plugin. It generates a Build.PL which is smart about building XS. It can accept a --pp flag to forcibly disable XS compilation. If no flag is passed, it tests whether the installing machine has a working compiler, and disables XS if this test fails.

Obviously, this is only useful if your module can work without its XS component.

SUPPORT

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-dist-zilla-plugin-modulebuild-xsorpp@rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

CREDITS

Much of the compiler check code comes from the Makefile.PL in the List::MoreUtils distro.

DONATIONS

If you'd like to thank me for the work I've done on this module, please consider making a "donation" to me via PayPal. I spend a lot of free time creating free software, and would appreciate any support you'd care to offer.

Please note that I am not suggesting that you must do this in order for me to continue working on this particular software. I will continue to do so, inasmuch as I have in the past, for as long as it interests me.

Similarly, a donation made in this way will probably not make me work on this software much more, unless I get so many donations that I can consider working on free software full time, which seems unlikely at best.

To donate, log into PayPal and send money to autarch@urth.org or use the button on this page: http://www.urth.org/~autarch/fs-donation.html
