[Bioperl-l] RE: [Bioperl-guts-l] bioperl commit

[Brian Osborne]

Aaron,

Strangely enough it works. This particular syntax is suggested by MakeMaker,
see below. 'doc/makedoc.PL' => undef might also work.

Info:

Ref to hash of files to be processed as perl programs. MakeMaker will
default to any found *.PL file (except Makefile.PL) being keys and the
basename of the file being the value. E.g.
  {'foobar.PL' => 'foobar'}

The *.PL files are expected to produce output to the target files
themselves. If multiple files can be generated from the same *.PL file then
the value in the hash can be a reference to an array of target file names.
E.g.
  {'foobar.PL' => ['foobar1','foobar2']}



It seems to me that in this case our *PL doesn't really care what's in the
hash value, all the work is done using the information entirely within
makedoc.PL. Is 'undef' clearer?

Brian O.

I think you may want this to be:

  PL_FILES => {
    'doc/makedoc.PL' => [
      qw(bioperl.pod
         biodesign.pod
         docs/whatever.pod
         ...
        )
     ]

But I'm not entirely sure what the Makefile ends up looking like.
