NAME
pptemplate - script to generate Makefile.PL and PP
file skeleton
SYNOPSIS
# generate Makefile.PL and mymodule.pd in CWD
pptemplate PDL::MyModule;
DESCRIPTION
The pptemplate
script is the easiest way to start a new module for PDL that contains PP code (see
also PDL::PP). The usage is simply
pptemplate modulename;
As a result pptemplate will generate a perl Makefile for the new
module (Makefile.PL) that contains the minimal structure to
generate a module from PP code and also a
skeleton file for your new module.
The file will be called mymod.pd if you called
"pptemplate" as
pptemplate PDL::CleverAlgs::Mymod;
I suppose you can work out the naming rule ";)". If not
resort to experimentation or the source code.
"pptemplate" will refuse to overwrite existing files of
the same name to avoid accidents. Move them out of the way if you
really want to scrap them.
Options
Currently there is only the
"-i" option which switches "pptemplate" into the
so called internal mode. It should only be used when you are
starting a new module within the main PDL
tree that is supposed to be part of the PDL
distribution and the normal PDL build
process, e.g.
cd PDL/IO;
mkdir Mpthree; cd Mpthree;
pptemplate -i PDL::IO::Mpthree;
BUGS
Maybe ";)". Feedback and
bug reports are welcome.
