NAME Devel::PatchPerl - Patch perl source a la Devel::PPPort's buildperl.pl VERSION version 0.48 SYNOPSIS use strict; use warnings; use Devel::PatchPerl; Devel::PatchPerl->patch_source( '5.6.1', '/path/to/untarred/perl/source/perl-5.6.1' ); DESCRIPTION Devel::PatchPerl is a modularisation of the patching code contained in Devel::PPPort's "buildperl.pl". It does not build perls, it merely provides an interface to the source patching functionality. FUNCTION "patch_source" Takes two parameters, a "perl" version and the path to unwrapped perl source for that version. It dies on any errors. If you don't supply a "perl" version, it will attempt to auto-determine the "perl" version from the specified path. If you don't supply the path to unwrapped perl source, it will assume the current working directory.
