NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MakeMaker::Highlander - There can be only one

VERSION

version 0.003

SYNOPSIS

    # in dist.ini, *after* other MakeMaker plugins
    [MakeMaker::Highlander]

DESCRIPTION

The vast majority of distributions do not need this and should not use it. It is intended for distributions that are bundled with ExtUtils::MakeMaker in order to bootstrap it.

This plugin sets the UNINST attribute to 1, to ensure that any other copies of the module files are removed from @INC. It only runs on Perls before v5.12 when @INC was reordered, and only if there appears to be no use of INSTALL_BASE or PREFIX.

This will result in warnings from old ExtUtils::MakeMaker, but appears to work nonetheless.

If a build system already accounts for ExtUtils::MakeMaker's pathological bundling and UNINST = 1 causes problems, the PERL_NO_HIGHLANDER environment variable may be set to a true value.
