NAME
       Module::Install::MakeMaker - Extension Rules for ExtUtils::MakeMaker


SYNOPSIS
       In your Makefile.PL:

           use inc::Module::Install;
           WriteMakefile();


DESCRIPTION
       This module is a wrapper around ExtUtils::MakeMaker.  It exports two functions: "prompt" (an alias for
       "ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt") and "WriteMakefile".

       The "WriteMakefile" function will pass on keyword/value pair functions to
       "ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteMakefile". The required parameters "NAME" and "VERSION" (or "VERSION_FROM")
       are not necessary if it can find them unambiguously in your code.


CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       This module also adds some Configuration parameters of its own:

   NAME
       The NAME parameter is required by ExtUtils::MakeMaker. If you have a single module in your distribution,
       or if the module name indicated by the current directory exists under lib/, this module will use the
       guessed package name as the default.

       If this module can't find a default for "NAME" it will ask you to specify it manually.

   VERSION
       ExtUtils::MakeMaker requires either the "VERSION" or "VERSION_FROM" parameter.  If this module can guess
       the package's "NAME", it will attempt to parse the "VERSION" from it.

       If this module can't find a default for "VERSION" it will ask you to specify it manually.


MAKE TARGETS
       ExtUtils::MakeMaker provides you with many useful "make" targets. A "make" target is the word you specify
       after "make", like "test" for "make test". Some of the more useful targets are:

       •   all

           This is the default target. When you type "make" it is the same as entering "make all". This target
           builds all of your code and stages it in the "blib" directory.

       •   test

           Run your distribution's test suite.

       •   install

           Copy the contents of the "blib" directory into the appropriate directories in your Perl installation.

       •   dist

           Create a distribution tarball, ready for uploading to CPAN or sharing with a friend.

       •   clean distclean purge

           Remove the files created by "perl Makefile.PL" and "make".

       •   help

           Same as typing "perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker".

       This module modifies the behaviour of some of these targets, depending on your requirements, and also
       adds the following targets to your Makefile:

       •   cpurge

           Just like purge, except that it also deletes the files originally added by this module itself.

       •   chelp

           Short cut for typing "perldoc Module::Install".

       •   distsign

           Short cut for typing "cpansign -s", for Module::Signature users to sign the distribution before
           release.
