-
- perlcc - frontend for perl compiler
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- %prompt perlcc a.p # compiles into executable 'a'
-
- %prompt perlcc A.pm # compile into 'A.so'
-
- %prompt perlcc a.p -o execute # compiles 'a.p' into 'execute'.
-
- %prompt perlcc a.p -o execute -run # compiles 'a.p' into execute, runs on
- # the fly
-
- %prompt perlcc a.p -o execute -run -argv 'arg1 arg2 arg3'
- # compiles into execute, runs with
- # arg1 arg2 arg3 as @ARGV
-
- %prompt perlcc a.p b.p c.p -regex 's/\.p/\.exe'
- # compiles into 'a.exe','b.exe','c.exe'.
-
- %prompt perlcc a.p -log compilelog # compiles into 'a', saves compilation
- # info into compilelog, as well
- # as mirroring to screen
-
- %prompt perlcc a.p -log compilelog -verbose cdf
- # compiles into 'a', saves compilation
- # info into compilelog, being silent
- # on screen.
-
- %prompt perlcc a.p -C a.c -gen # generates C code (into a.c) and
- # stops without compile.
-
- %prompt perlcc a.p -L ../lib a.c
- # Compiles with the perl libraries
- # inside ../lib included.
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- 'perlcc' is the frontend into the perl compiler. Typing 'perlcc a.p'
- compiles the code inside a.p into a standalone executable, and
- perlcc A.pm will compile into a shared object, A.so, suitable for inclusion
- into a perl program via "use A".
-
- There are quite a few flags to perlcc which help with such issues as compiling
- programs in bulk, testing compiled programs for compatibility with the
- interpreter, and controlling.
-
- =head1 OPTIONS
-
- =over 4
-
- =item -L < library_directories >
-
- Adds directories in B<library_directories> to the compilation command.
-
- =item -I < include_directories >
-
- Adds directories inside B<include_directories> to the compilation command.
-
- =item -C < c_code_name >
-
- Explicitly gives the name B<c_code_name> to the generated c code which is to
- be compiled. Can only be used if compiling one file on the command line.
-
- =item -o < executable_name >
-
- Explicitly gives the name B<executable_name> to the executable which is to be
- compiled. Can only be used if compiling one file on the command line.
-
- =item -e < perl_line_to_execute>
-
- Compiles 'one liners', in the same way that B<perl -e> runs text strings at
- the command line. Default is to have the 'one liner' be compiled, and run all
- in one go (see B<-run>); giving the B<-o> flag saves the resultant executable,
- rather than throwing it away. Use '-argv' to pass arguments to the executable
- created.
-
- =item -regex <rename_regex>
-
- Gives a rule B<rename_regex> - which is a legal perl regular expression - to
- create executable file names.
-
- =item -verbose <verbose_level>
-
- Show exactly what steps perlcc is taking to compile your code. You can change
- the verbosity level B<verbose_level> much in the same way that the '-D' switch
- changes perl's debugging level, by giving either a number which is the sum of
- bits you want or a list of letters representing what you wish to see. Here are
- the verbosity levels so far :
-
- Bit 1(g): Code Generation Errors to STDERR
- Bit 2(a): Compilation Errors to STDERR
- Bit 4(t): Descriptive text to STDERR
- Bit 8(f): Code Generation Errors to file (B<-log> flag needed)
- Bit 16(c): Compilation Errors to file (B<-log> flag needed)
- Bit 32(d): Descriptive text to file (B<-log> flag needed)
-
- If the B<-log> tag is given, the default verbose level is 63 (ie: mirroring
- all of perlcc's output to both the screen and to a log file). If no B<-log>
- tag is given, then the default verbose level is 7 (ie: outputting all of
- perlcc's output to STDERR).
-
- NOTE: Because of buffering concerns, you CANNOT shadow the output of '-run' to
- both a file, and to the screen! Suggestions are welcome on how to overcome this
- difficulty, but for now it simply does not work properly, and hence will only go
- to the screen.
-
- =item -log <logname>
-
- Opens, for append, a logfile to save some or all of the text for a given
- compile command. No rewrite version is available, so this needs to be done
- manually.
-
- =item -argv <arguments>
-
- In combination with '-run' or '-e', tells perlcc to run the resulting
- executable with the string B<arguments> as @ARGV.
-
- =item -sav
-
- Tells perl to save the intermediate C code. Usually, this C code is the name
- of the perl code, plus '.c'; 'perlcode.p' gets generated in 'perlcode.p.c',
- for example. If used with the '-e' operator, you need to tell perlcc where to
- save resulting executables.
-
- =item -gen
-
- Tells perlcc to only create the intermediate C code, and not compile the
- results. Does an implicit B<-sav>, saving the C code rather than deleting it.
-
- =item -run
-
- Immediately run the perl code that has been generated. NOTE: IF YOU GIVE THE
- B<-run> FLAG TO B<perlcc>, THEN THE REST OF @ARGV WILL BE INTERPRETED AS
- ARGUMENTS TO THE PROGRAM THAT YOU ARE COMPILING.
-
- =item -prog
-
- Indicate that the programs at the command line are programs, and should be
- compiled as such. B<perlcc> will automatically determine files to be
- programs if they have B<.p>, B<.pl>, B<.bat> extensions.
-
- =item -mod
-
- Indicate that the programs at the command line are modules, and should be
- compiled as such. B<perlcc> will automatically determine files to be
- modules if they have the extension B<.pm>.

- =head1 ENVIRONMENT
-
- Most of the work of B<perlcc> is done at the command line. However, you can
- change the heuristic which determines what is a module and what is a program.
- As indicated above, B<perlcc> assumes that the extensions:
-
- .p$, .pl$, and .bat$
-
- indicate a perl program, and:
-
- .pm$
-
- indicate a library, for the purposes of creating executables. And furthermore,
- by default, these extensions will be replaced (and dropped ) in the process of
- creating an executable.
-
- To change the extensions which are programs, and which are modules, set the
- environmental variables:
-
- PERL_SCRIPT_EXT
- PERL_MODULE_EXT
-
- These two environmental variables take colon-separated, legal perl regular
- expressions, and are used by perlcc to decide which objects are which.
- For example:
-
- setenv PERL_SCRIPT_EXT '.prl$:.perl$'
- prompt% perlcc sample.perl
-
- will compile the script 'sample.perl' into the executable 'sample', and
-
- setenv PERL_MODULE_EXT '.perlmod$:.perlmodule$'
-
- prompt% perlcc sample.perlmod
-
- will compile the module 'sample.perlmod' into the shared object
- 'sample.so'
-
- NOTE: the '.' in the regular expressions for PERL_SCRIPT_EXT and PERL_MODULE_EXT
- is a literal '.', and not a wild-card. To get a true wild-card, you need to
- backslash the '.'; as in:
-
- setenv PERL_SCRIPT_EXT '\.\.\.\.\.'
-
- which would have the effect of compiling ANYTHING (except what is in
- PERL_MODULE_EXT) into an executable with 5 less characters in its name.
-
- =head1 FILES
-
- 'perlcc' uses a temporary file when you use the B<-e> option to evaluate
- text and compile it. This temporary file is 'perlc$$.p'. The temporary C code is
- perlc$$.p.c, and the temporary executable is perlc$$.
-
- When you use '-run' and don't save your executable, the temporary executable is
- perlc$$
-
- =head1 BUGS
-
- perlcc currently cannot compile shared objects on Win32. This should be fixed
- by perl5.005.
