About a month ago I wrote a example configuration step to show off the new capability of passing arguments to a step from Configure.pl. It seems that I forgot to send out an e-mail about this...
The example step is called gen:PodTex and creates plain text files from
Pod documents with Pod::Text. An example of it's usage would be:
=== Configure.pl
==================================================================
--- Configure.pl (revision 11517)
+++ Configure.pl (local)
@@ -446,6 +446,9 @@
$Parrot::Configure::Step::conf = $conf;
}
$conf->add_steps(@steps);
+$conf->add_step('gen::PodText',
+ 'DEPRECATED.pod' => 'DEPRECATED',
+);
$conf->options->set(%args);
# Run the actual steps
$conf->runsteps;
The biggest advantages of this facility is that files names no longer
have to be hard-coded into a configuration step. This allows us to
create more generic steps that can be invoked more than once in the same
configuration run.
Cheers,
