Apache::TestMM(3)     User Contributed Perl Documentation    Apache::TestMM(3)

NAME
       Apache::TestMM - Provide MakeMaker Wrapper Methods

SYNOPSIS
	 require Apache::TestMM;

	 # import MY::test and MY::clean overrides for MM
	 Apache::TestMM->import(qw(test clean));

	 # parse command line args
	 Apache::TestMM::filter_args();

	 # autogenerate the script
	 Apache::TestMM::generate_script('t/TEST');

DESCRIPTION
       "Apache::TestMM" provides wrappers for the "ExtUtils::MakeMaker" craft,
       making it easier to extend the autogenerated Makefile with
       "Apache::Test".

FUNCTIONS
   "import"
	 use Apache::TestMM qw(test clean);

       or:

	 Apache::TestMM->import(qw(test clean));

       Imports "MY::" overrides for the default "ExtUtils::MakeMaker" test and
       clean targets, as if you have defined:

	 sub MY::test {...}
	 sub MY::clean {...}

       in Makefile.PL. "Apache::TestMM" does this for you so that these
       Makefile targets will run the Apache server and the tests for it, and
       clean up after its mess.

   "filter_args"
	 push @ARGV, '-apxs', $apxs_path;
	 Apache::TestMM::filter_args();
	 WriteMakefile(...);

       When "WriteMakefile()" is called it parses @ARGV, hoping to find
       special options like "PREFIX=/home/stas/perl". "Apache::Test" accepts a
       lot of configuration options of its own. When
       "Apache::TestMM::filter_args()" is called, it removes any
       "Apache::Test"-specific options from @ARGV and stores them internally,
       so when "WriteMakefile()" is called they aren't in @ARGV and thus won't
       be processed by "WriteMakefile()".

       The options can be set when Makefile.PL is called:

	 % perl Makefile.PL -apxs /path/to/apxs

       Or you can push them manually to @ARGV from the code:

	 push @ARGV, '-apxs', $apxs_path;

       When:

	 Apache::TestMM::generate_script('t/TEST');

       is called, "Apache::Test"-specific options extracted by
       "Apache::TestMM::filter_args()" are written to the autogenerated file.
       In our example, the autogenerated t/TEST will include:

	 %Apache::TestConfig::Argv = qw(apxs /path/to/apxs);

       which is going to be used by the "Apache::Test" runtime.

       The other frequently used options are: "-httpd", telling where to find
       the httpd (usually when the "-apxs" option is not used), "-libmodperl"
       to use a specific mod_perl shared object (if your mod_perl is built as
       DSO), "-maxclients" to change the default number of the configured
       "MaxClients" directive, "-port" to start the server on a specific port,
       etc. To get the complete list of available configuration options and
       their purpose and syntax, run:

	 % perl -MApache::TestConfig -le 'Apache::TestConfig::usage()'

       You may wish to document some of these in your application's README
       file, especially the "-apxs" and "-httpd" options.

   "generate_script"
	 Apache::TestMM::generate_script('t/TEST');

       "generate_script()" accepts the name of the script to generate and will
       look for a template with the same name and suffix .PL. So in our
       example it'll look for t/TEST.PL. The autogenerated script t/TEST will
       include the contents of t/TEST.PL, and special directives, including
       any configuration options passed via "filter_args()" called from
       Makefile.PL, special fixup code, etc.
