VERSION

version 0.017

SYNOPSIS

 package Frobnicate;
 sub plan {
     my %nodes = ...;
     return ExtUtils::Builder::Plan->new(
         nodes => \%nodes,
     );
 }
 my $plan = Frobnicate->plan(@args);
 
 # various consumption methods
 $plan->run('foo');
 say $_->target for $plan->nodes;

DESCRIPTION

An object of this class describes a process. It contains one or more nodes. This is enough to describe whole building processes, in fact its "run" method is a tiny "make" engine.

ATTRIBUTES

nodes

This is the set of all nodes in this plan.

METHODS

This runs the process. Similar to "make", it checks for each node if it is necessary to run, and if not skips it. $target may either be a single string or an array ref of strings for the targets to run.

node($target)

Returns the node for the specified $target.

node_names()

Returns the names of all the nodes.

merge($other)

This merges this plan with another, and returns the new plan. Each entry may only exist on one side of the merge.

phonies()

This returns the names of all phony targets.
