ExtUtils::MakeMaker generates Makefile on child directories.
EU::MM generates Makefile in child directory.
example
I put a 'Makefile.PL' as following:
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; WriteMakefile( NAME => 'PARENT');
And put 'child/Makefile.PL' as following:
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; WriteMakefile( NAME => 'CHILD');
And run the Makefile.PL, then you get following result:
Writing Makefile for CHILD Writing Makefile for PARENT
WriteMakefile() function in parent runs child/Makefile.PL!
I did't know this behavior!! amazing!
How can I stop this behavior?
Use NORECURS option. It stops recursion.
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; WriteMakefile( NAME => 'PARENT', NORECURS => 1);
