use PPM::XML::PPD; $p = new PPM::XML::Parser( Style => 'Objects', Pkg => 'PPM::XML::PPD' ); ... =head1 DESCRIPTION This module provides a set of classes for parsing PPD files using the C module. Each of the classes is derived from C, with optional/required attributes/children enforced. =head1 MAJOR ELEMENTS =head2 SOFTPKG Defines a Perl Package. The root of a PPD document is B a SOFTPKG element. The SOFTPKG element allows for the following attributes: =over 4 =item NAME Required attribute. Name of the package (e.g. "Foobar"). =item VERSION Version number of the package, in comma-delimited format (e.g. "1,0,0,0"). =back =head2 IMPLEMENTATION Child of SOFTPKG, used to describe a particular implementation of the Perl Package. Multiple instances are valid, and should be used to describe different implementations/ports for different operating systems or architectures. =head2 DEPENDENCY Child of SOFTPKG or IMPLEMENTATION, used to indicate a dependency this Perl Package has on another Perl Package. Multiple instances are valid. The DEPENDENCY element allows for the following attributes: =over 4 =item NAME Name of the package that this implementation is dependant upon. =item VERSION Version number of the dependency, in comma-delimited format (e.g. "1,0,0,0"). =back =head1 MINOR ELEMENTS =head2 TITLE Child of SOFTPKG, used to state the title of the Perl Package. Only one instance should be present. =head2 ABSTRACT Child of SOFTPKG, used to provide a short description outlining the nature and purpose of the Perl Package. Only one instance should be present. =head2 AUTHOR Child of SOFTPKG, used to provide information about the author(s) of the Perl Package. Multiple instances are valid. =head2 LANGUAGE Child of IMPLEMENTATION, used to specify the language used within the given implementation of the Perl Package. Only one instance should be present. =head2 LICENSE Child of SOFTPKG, indicating the location of the appropriate license agreement or copyright notice for the Perl Package. Only one instance should be present. The LICENSE element allows for the following attributes: =over 4 =item HREF Required attribute. A reference to the location of the license agreement or copyright notice for this package. =back =head2 OS Child of IMPLEMENTATION, used to outline the operating system required for this implementation of the Perl Package. Multiple instances are valid. Valid values can be taken from the OSD Specification and it's OS element. The OS element allows for the following attributes: =over 4 =item VALUE The name of the operating system required for this implementation of the Perl Package. This value should be obtained from Config.pm as 'osname'. =back Note that previous versions of the PPD format used a 'NAME' attribute. It's use has been deprecated in preference of the 'VALUE' attribute. Also note that during validation, this element will automatically convert any existing 'NAME' attribute to be a 'VALUE' attribute. =head2 OSVERSION Child of IMPLEMENTATION, used to outline the required version of the operating system required for this implementation of the Perl Package. Only one instance should be present. The OSVERSION element allows for the following attributes: =over 4 =item VALUE The version of the operating system required for installation of this implementation of the package, in a comma-delimited format (e.g. "3,1,0,0"). =back Note that previous versions of the PPD format used a 'NAME' attribute. It's use has been deprecated in preference of the 'VALUE' attribute. Also note that during validation, this element will automatically convert any existing 'NAME' attribute to be a 'VALUE' attribute. =head2 PERLCORE Child of IMPLEMENTATION, used to specify the minimum version of the Perl core distribution that this Perl Package is to be used with. Only one instance should be present. The PERLCORE element allows for the following attributes: =over 4 =item VERSION Version of the Perl core that is required for this implementation of the Perl Package. =back =head2 PROCESSOR Child of IMPLEMENTATION, outlining the cpu required for this implementation of the Perl Package. Only one instance should be present. The PROCESSOR element allows for the following attributes: =over 4 =item VALUE CPU required for the installation of this implementation of the Perl Package. The following values are all valid according to the OSD Specification: x86 alpha mips sparc 680x0 =back Note that previous versions of the PPD format used a 'NAME' attribute. It's use has been deprecated in preference of the 'VALUE' attribute. Also note that during validation, this element will automatically convert any existing 'NAME' attribute to be a 'VALUE' attribute. =head2 CODEBASE Child of IMPLEMENTATION, indicating a location where an archive of the Perl Package can be retrieved. Multiple instances are valid, and can be used to indicate multiple possible locations where the same version of the Perl Package can be retrieved. The CODEBASE element allows for the following attributes: =over 4 =item FILENAME ??? =item HREF Required attribute. A reference to the location of the Perl Package distribution. =back =head2 INSTALL Child of IMPLEMENTATION, used to provide either a reference to an installation script or a series of commands which can be used to install the Perl Package once it has been retrieved. If the EXEC attribute is not specified, the value is assumed to be one or more commands, separated by `;;'. Each such command will be executed by the Perl `system()' function. Only one instance should be present. The INSTALL element allows for the following attributes: =over 4 =item HREF Reference to an external script which should be retrieved and run as part of the installation process. Both filenames and URLs should be considered valid. =item EXEC Name of interpreter/shell used to execute the installation script. If the value of EXEC is `PPM_PERL', the copy of Perl that is executing PPM itself ($^X) is used to execute the install script. =back =head2 UNINSTALL Child of IMPLEMENTATION, used to provide either a reference to an uninstallation script or a raw Perl script which can be used to uninstall the Perl Package at a later point. Only one instance should be present. The UNINSTALL element allows for the following attributs: =over 4 =item HREF Reference to an external script which should be retrieved and run as part of the removal process. Both filenames and URLs should be considered valid. =item EXEC Name of interpreter/shell used to execute the uninstallation script. If the value of EXEC is `PPM_PERL', the copy of Perl that is executing PPM itself ($^X) is used to execute the install script. =back =head1 DOCUMENT TYPE DEFINITION The DTD for PPD documents is available from the ActiveState website and the latest version can be found at http://www.ActiveState.com/PPM/DTD/ppd.dtd This revision of the C module implements the following DTD: =head1 SAMPLE PPD FILE The following is a sample PPD file describing the C module. Note that this may B be a current/proper description of this module and is for sample purposes only. Math-MatrixBool Easy manipulation of matrices of booleans (Boolean Algebra) Steffen Beyer (sb@sdm.de) system("make"); ;; system("make test"); ;; system("make install"); ;; =head1 KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES Elements which are required to be empty (e.g. LICENSE) are not enforced as such. Notations above about elements for which "only one instance" or "multiple instances" are valid are not enforced; this primarily a guideline for generating your own PPD files. =head1 AUTHORS Graham TerMarsch Murray Nesbitt Dick Hardt =head1 HISTORY v0.1 - Initial release =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, OSD Specification (http://www.microsoft.com/standards/osd/) =cut
