 ExtUtils::PL2Bat - Batch file creation to run perl scripts on Windows

VVEERRSSIIOONN #

 version 0.004

OOVVEERRVVIIEEWW #

 This module converts a perl script into a batch file that can be executed
 on Windows/DOS-like operating systems.  This is intended to allow you to
 use a Perl script like regular programs and batch files where you just
 enter the name of the script [probably minus the extension] plus any
 command-line arguments and the script is found in your PPAATTHH and run.

ppll22bbaatt((%%ooppttss)) This function takes a perl script and write a batch file that contains the script. This is sometimes necessary

 •       "in"

         The name of the script that is to be batchified. This argument is
         mandatory.

 •       "out"

         The name of the output batch file. If not given, it will be
         generated using "in" and "stripsuffix".

 •       "ntargs"

         Arguments to invoke perl with in generated batch file when run
         from Windows NT.  Defaults to '-x -S %0 %*'.

 •       "otherargs"

         Arguments to invoke perl with in generated batch file except when
         run from Windows NT (ie. when run from DOS, Windows 3.1, or
         Windows 95).  Defaults to
         '-x -S "%0" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9'.

 •       "stripsuffix"

         Strip a suffix string from file name before appending a ".bat"
         suffix.  The suffix is not case-sensitive.  It can be a regex or
         a string and a trailing "$" is always assumed).  Defaults to
         "qr/\.plx?/".

 •       "usewarnings"

         With the "usewarnings" option, " -w" is added after the value of
         $Config{startperl}.  If a line matching "/^#!.*perl/" already
         exists in the script, then it is not changed and the --ww option is
         ignored.

 •       "update"

         If the script appears to have already been processed by ppll22bbaatt,
         then the script is skipped and not processed unless "update" was
         specified.  If "update" is specified, the existing preamble is
         replaced.

 This code was taken from Module::Build and then modified; which had taken
 it from perl's pl2bat script. This module is an attempt at unifying all
 three implementations.
