Test::Smoke::Patcher 1.19

Test::Smoke::Patcher is a OO interface to help patching the source-tree. SYNOPSIS use Test::Smoke::Patcher; my $patcher = Test::Smoke::Patcher->new( single => { ddir => $build_dir, pfile => $patch, popts => -p1, v => 1, # 0..2 }); $patcher->patch; or my $patcher = Test::Smoke::Patcher->new( multi => { ddir => $buildir, pfile => $patch_info, v => 1, #0..2 }); $patcher->patch; Okay, you will need a working patch program, which I believe is available for most platforms perl runs on. There are two ways to initialise the Test::Smoke::Patcher object. single mode The pfile attribute is a pointer to a single patch. There are four (4) ways to specify that patch. refernece to a SCALAR The scalar holds the complete patch as literal text. reference to an ARRAY The array holds a list of lines (with newlines) that make up the patch as literal text ($patch = join "", @$array_ref). reference to a GLOB You passed an opened filehandle to a file containing the patch. filename If none of the above apply, it is assumed you passed a filename. Relative paths are rooted at the builddir (ddir attribute). multi mode The pfile attribute is a pointer to a recource that contains filenames of patches. The format of this recource is one filename per line optionally followed by a semi-colon (;) and switches for the patch program. The patch-resource can also be specified in four (4) ways. reference to a SCALAR reference to an ARRAY reference to a GLOB filename.
