I would suggest at least keeping it as a subdir *within* the existing
_Inline or ~/.Inline directory.
I have to agree, if multiple directories is a preferred solution, please
create them in the existing directories.
Seems that inline is already more or less set up to deal with this - without
any need to mess with the existing directories at all.
With 2 extra lines of code in Inline.pm, we can get Inline to check the
existing entries for perl version and archname that are already in the .inl
file. If they don't match, then Inline leaves the existing build (say
'test_pl_abcd') in place and re-builds in 'test_pl_abcdefgh'. If a third
config/version crops up, Inline then builds a third version in
'test_pl_abcdefghijklmnop', and for a fourth config/version
'test_pl_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456' is used.
If any more config/version combos are used, then
'test_pl_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456' is overwritten. Hence there can
only be 4 compilations of the one script in existence at any one time. If
someone feels a need to have more than 4 compilations in existence at any
one time, then he'll have to create additional directories along the lines I
originally suggested. (He could, of course, create those additional
directories under the _Inline directory.)
I hope to get this all together by the middle of next week, and let you guys
play with it, before uploading it as 0.44_01 to see what the cpan-testers
make of it. (I haven't done a whole lot - it's just that I make progress
slowly :-)
Cheers,
Rob
