Bug #20971 for Win32-SDDL: this is a module, not a distribution

Sun Aug 13 11:06:30 2006 alexchorny [...] gmail.com - Ticket created

Subject:

this is a module, not a distribution

Win32::SDDL 0.03 must have several files to be a distribution. Best is to install Module::Starter (available as ppm). Run module-starter --module=Win32::SDDL --author="Tim Johnson" --email=tojo2000@tojo2000.com Edit files in generated distribution. If you can, write more tests. This will allow it to install according to standarts. PPM version will be created automatically by ActiveState. ------- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

Add in Makefile.PL in PREREQ_PM: 'Win32::OLE' => 0, Edit 'Changes'. You cant read about distribution creation in http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=431702 In SDDL.pm delete $VERSION = '0.04'; Under package definition add: our $VERSION = '0.04'; In package Win32::SDDL::ACE, replace my @ISA = qw(Win32::SDDL); #should not work with use base 'Win32::SDDL'; P.S. Creating a distribution is hard in Perl, but it will help to make your module better even for yourself. ------- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

For Win32::SDDL 0.05. Read http://search.cpan.org/~mschwern/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.30_01/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker/Tutorial.pod SDDL.pm has old version 0.04. Execute 'Makefile.PL'. Remove 'MANIFEST' file. Execute 'nmake manifest'. You can now execute 'nmake dist' to create archive with distribution, if you have gzip and tar. This will autogenerate meta.yml. ------- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

Okay, I figured out where the version information was coming from, and I'm getting the hang of this whole distro thing. Thank you so much for your help, and if you wouldn't mind taking one last look, I'd really appreciate it.
