I created a file my_exe.PL which when run creates a file my_exe. Then
MakeMaker notices this file, and running 'make' does create my_exe. But
'make clean' does not remove it. Here's the Makefile.PL:
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile(EXE_FILES => [ 'my_exe' ]);
This plus a small script saved as my_exe.PL:
open(OUT, '>my_exe') or die;
print OUT qq[print "hello\\n";\n];
Then:
% ls
Makefile.PL my_exe.PL
% perl Makefile.PL
[...]
% make
[...]
% ls
Makefile Makefile.PL blib my_exe my_exe.PL pm_to_blib
% make clean
[...]
% ls
Makefile.PL Makefile.old my_exe my_exe.PL
Note that my_exe is still there even though it is a generated file not a
source file.
% perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e 'print "$ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION\n"'
