ExtUtils::Builder::Action::Function(3)

NAME
ExtUtils::Builder::Action::Function - Actions for perl function calls

VERSION
version 0.017

SYNOPSIS
 my $action = ExtUtils::Builder::Action::Function->new(
     module    => 'Frob',
     function  => 'nicate',
     arguments => [ target => 'bar' ],
 );
 $action->execute();
 say "Executed: ", join ' ', @$_, target => 'bar' for $action->to_command;

DESCRIPTION
This Action class is a specialization of Action::Perl that makes the common case of calling a simple function easier. The first statement in the synopsis is roughly equivalent to:

 my $action = ExtUtils::Builder::Action::Code->new(
     code       => 'Frob::nicate(target => 'bar')',
     module     => ['Frob'],
     message    => 'Calling Frob::nicate',
 );

Except that it serializes more cleanly.

ATTRIBUTES

  arguments
These are additional arguments to the action, that are passed on regardless of how the action is run. This attribute is optional.

  module
The module to be loaded.

  function
The name of the function to be called.

  exports
If "always", the function is assumed to be exported by the module. If "explicit", it's assumed to need explicit exporting (e.g. "use Module 'function';").
