=head1 NAME

ExtUtils::MM_VMS - methods to override UN*X behaviour in ExtUtils::MakeMaker

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  Do not use this directly.
  Instead, use ExtUtils::MM and it will figure out which MM_*
  class to use for you.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

See ExtUtils::MM_Unix for a documentation of the methods provided
there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not
the semantics.

=item wraplist

Converts a list into a string wrapped at approximately 80 columns.

=cut

sub wraplist {
    my($self) = shift;
    my($line,$hlen) = ('',0);

    foreach my $word (@_) {
      # Perl bug -- seems to occasionally insert extra elements when
      # traversing array (scalar(@array) doesn't show them, but
      # foreach(@array) does) (5.00307)
      next unless $word =~ /\w/;
      $line .= ' ' if length($line);
      if ($hlen > 80) { $line .= "\\\n\t"; $hlen = 0; }
      $line .= $word;
      $hlen += length($word) + 2;
    }
    $line;
}


# This isn't really an override.  It's just here because ExtUtils::MM_VMS
# appears in @MM::ISA before ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid, so if there isn't an ext()
# in MM_VMS, then AUTOLOAD is called, and bad things happen.  So, we just
# mimic inheritance here and hand off to ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid.
# XXX This hackery will die soon. --Schwern
sub ext {
    require ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid;
    goto &ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid::ext;
}

=head2 Methods

Those methods which override default MM_Unix methods are marked
"(override)", while methods unique to MM_VMS are marked "(specific)".
For overridden methods, documentation is limited to an explanation
of why this method overrides the MM_Unix method; see the ExtUtils::MM_Unix
documentation for more details.

=item guess_name (override)

Try to determine name of extension being built.  We begin with the name
of the current directory.  Since VMS filenames are case-insensitive,
however, we look for a F<.pm> file whose name matches that of the current
directory (presumably the 'main' F<.pm> file for this extension), and try
to find a C statement from which to obtain the Mixed::Case
package name.

=cut

    $defpm = $defname;
    # Fallback in case for some reason a user has copied the files for an
    # extension into a working directory whose name doesn't reflect the
    # extension's name.  We'll use the name of a unique .pm file, or the
    # first .pm file with a matching .xs file.

=item _fixin_replace_shebang (override)

Helper routine for MM->fixin(), overridden because there's no such thing as an
actual shebang line that will be interpreted by the shell, so we just prepend
$Config{startperl} and preserve the shebang line argument for any switches it
may contain.

=cut

sub _fixin_replace_shebang {
    my ( $self, $file, $line ) = @_;

    my ( undef, $arg ) = split ' ', $line, 2;

    return $Config{startperl} . "\n" . $Config{sharpbang} . "perl $arg\n";
}

=item maybe_command (override)

Follows VMS naming conventions for executable files.
If the name passed in doesn't exactly match an executable file,
appends F<.Exe> (or equivalent) to check for executable image, and F<.Com>
to check for DCL procedure.  If this fails, checks directories in DCL$PATH
and finally F for an executable file having the name specified,
with or without the F<.Exe>-equivalent suffix.

=cut

sub maybe_command {
    my($self,$file) = @_;
    return $file if -x $file && ! -d _;
    my(@dirs) = ('');
    my(@exts) = ('',$Config{'exe_ext'},'.exe','.com');

    if ($file !~ m![/:>\]]!) {
        for (my $i = 0; defined $ENV{"DCL\$PATH;$i"}; $i++) {
            my $dir = $ENV{"DCL\$PATH;$i"};
            $dir .= ':' unless $dir =~ m%[\]:]$%;
            push(@dirs,$dir);
        }
        push(@dirs,'Sys$System:');
        foreach my $dir (@dirs) {
            my $sysfile = "$dir$file";
            foreach my $ext (@exts) {
                return $file if -x "$sysfile$ext" && ! -d _;
            }
        }
    }
    return 0;
}


=item pasthru (override)

VMS has $(MMSQUALIFIERS) which is a listing of all the original command line
options.  This is used in every invocation of make in the VMS Makefile so
PASTHRU should not be necessary.  Using PASTHRU tends to blow commands past
the 256 character limit.

=cut

sub pasthru {
    return "PASTHRU=\n";
}


=item pm_to_blib (override)

VMS wants a dot in every file so we can't have one called 'pm_to_blib',
it becomes 'pm_to_blib.' and MMS/K isn't smart enough to know that when
you have a target called 'pm_to_blib' it should look for 'pm_to_blib.'.

So in VMS its pm_to_blib.ts.

=cut

sub pm_to_blib {
    my $self = shift;

    my $make = $self->SUPER::pm_to_blib;

    $make =~ s{^pm_to_blib :}{pm_to_blib.ts :}m;
    $make =~ s{\$\(TOUCH\) pm_to_blib}{\$(TOUCH) pm_to_blib.ts};

    $make = <<'MAKE' . $make;
# Dummy target to match Unix target name; we use pm_to_blib.ts as
# timestamp file to avoid repeated invocations under VMS
pm_to_blib : pm_to_blib.ts
	$(NOECHO) $(NOOP)

MAKE

    return $make;
}


=item perl_script (override)

If name passed in doesn't specify a readable file, appends F<.com> or
F<.pl> and tries again, since it's customary to have file types on all files
under VMS.

=cut

sub perl_script {
    my($self,$file) = @_;
    return $file if -r $file && ! -d _;
    return "$file.com" if -r "$file.com";
    return "$file.pl" if -r "$file.pl";
    return '';
}


=item replace_manpage_separator

Use as separator a character which is legal in a VMS-syntax file name.

=cut

sub replace_manpage_separator {
    my($self,$man) = @_;
    $man = unixify($man);
    $man =~ s#/+#__#g;
    $man;
}

=item init_DEST

(override) Because of the difficulty concatenating VMS filepaths we
must pre-expand the DEST* variables.

=cut

sub init_DEST {
    my $self = shift;

    $self->SUPER::init_DEST;

    # Expand DEST variables.
    foreach my $var ($self->installvars) {
        my $destvar = 'DESTINSTALL'.$var;
        $self->{$destvar} = $self->eliminate_macros($self->{$destvar});
    }
}


=item init_DIRFILESEP

No separator between a directory path and a filename on VMS.

=cut

sub init_DIRFILESEP {
    my($self) = shift;

    $self->{DIRFILESEP} = '';
    return 1;
}


=item init_main (override)


=cut

sub init_main {
    my($self) = shift;

    $self->{DEFINE} ||= '';

            next unless $def;
            my $targ = \@defs;
            if ($def =~ s/^-([DU])//) {    # If it was a Unix-style definition
                $targ = \@udefs if $1 eq 'U';
                $def =~ s/='(.*)'$/=$1/;  # then remove shell-protection ''
                $def =~ s/^'(.*)'$/$1/;   # from entire term or argument

            if ($def =~ /=/) {

                $def = qq["$def"]; # and quote to prevent parsing of =
            }

            $self->{DEFINE} .= '/Undef=('  . join(',',@udefs) . ')';
        }
    }
}

=item init_tools (override)

Provide VMS-specific forms of various utility commands.

Sets DEV_NULL to nothing because I don't know how to do it on VMS.

Changes EQUALIZE_TIMESTAMP to set revision date of target file to
one second later than source file, since MMK interprets precisely
equal revision dates for a source and target file as a sign that the
target needs to be updated.

=item eliminate_macros

Expands MM[KS]/Make macros in a text string, using the contents of
identically named elements of C<%$self>, and returns the result
as a file specification in Unix syntax.

NOTE:  This is the canonical version of the method.  The version in
File::Spec::VMS is deprecated.

=item fixpath

   my $path = $mm->fixpath($path);
   my $path = $mm->fixpath($path, $is_dir);

Catchall routine to clean up problem MM[SK]/Make macros.  Expands macros
in any directory specification, in order to avoid juxtaposing two
VMS-syntax directories when MM[SK] is run.  Also expands expressions which
are all macro, so that we can tell how long the expansion is, and avoid
overrunning DCL's command buffer when MM[KS] is running.

fixpath() checks to see whether the result matches the name of a
directory in the current default directory and returns a directory or
file specification accordingly.  C<$is_dir> can be set to true to
force fixpath() to consider the path to be a directory or false to force
it to be a file.

NOTE:  This is the canonical version of the method.  The version in
File::Spec::VMS is deprecated.
