version 0.60
use strict; use warnings; use Devel::PatchPerl; Devel::PatchPerl->patch_source( '5.6.1', '/path/to/untarred/perl/source/perl-5.6.1' );
Devel::PatchPerl is a modularisation of the patching code contained in Devel::PPPort's buildperl.pl.
buildperl.pl
It does not build perls, it merely provides an interface to the source patching functionality.
patch_source
Takes two parameters, a perl version and the path to unwrapped perl source for that version. It dies on any errors.
perl
If you don't supply a perl version, it will attempt to auto-determine the perl version from the specified path.
If you don't supply the path to unwrapped perl source, it will assume the current working directory.
