Here is an example from Module-Starter. Note the (eval {
ExtUtils::MakeMaker->VERSION(...) }) stanzas, which avoid older EU::MM
from complaining about invalid arguments to WriteMakefile;
WriteMakefile(
NAME => 'Module::Starter',
AUTHOR => 'Andy Lester <[email protected]>',
VERSION_FROM => 'lib/Module/Starter.pm',
(eval { ExtUtils::MakeMaker->VERSION(6.21) } ? (LICENSE => 'perl') : ()),
ABSTRACT_FROM => 'lib/Module/Starter.pm',
EXE_FILES => [ 'bin/module-starter' ],
PREREQ_PM => {
'Test::More' => 0,
'Test::Harness' => 0.21,
'ExtUtils::Command' => 0,
'File::Spec' => 0,
'Getopt::Long' => 0,
'Pod::Usage' => 1.21,
},
(! eval { ExtUtils::MakeMaker->VERSION(6.46) } ? () :
(META_ADD => {
resources => {
homepage => 'http://code.google.com/p/module-starter/',
repository =>
'http://module-starter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/',
bugtracker =>
'http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Module-Starter',
},
})
),
dist => { COMPRESS => 'gzip -9f', SUFFIX => 'gz', },
clean => { FILES => 'Module-Release-*' },
);
Some Makefile.PL's do it slightly differently, by putting all args
into something like %WriteMakefileArgs and then deleting them out
before calling WriteMakefile:
delete $WriteMakefileArgs{LICENSE}
unless eval { ExtUtils::MakeMaker->VERSION(6.31) };
WriteMakefile(%WriteMakefileArgs);
I hope that clarifies what I meant.
