perl v5.40.1                                       2025-08-10                DhMakePerl::Command::Packaging(3pm)

       main_file(file_name)
           Constructs a file name relative to the main source directory, "main_dir"

       debian_file(file_name)
           Constructs a file name relative to the debian/ sub-directory of the main source directory.

       explained_dependency $reason, $dependencies, @dependencies
           Adds the list of dependencies to $dependencies and shows $reason if in verbose mode.

           Used to both bump a dependency and tell the user why.

           $dependencies  is  an  instance  of  Debian::Dependencies  class,  and  @dependencies  is  a  list of
           Debian::Dependency instances or strings.

           The message printed looks like "$reason needs @dependencies".

       configure_cpan
           Configure CPAN module. It is safe to call this method more than once, it will do nothing if  CPAN  is
           already configured.

       discover_dependencies
           Just  a  wrapper  around $self->control->discover_dependencies which provides the right parameters to
           it.

           Returns a list of missing modules.

       discover_utility_deps
           Determines whether certain versions of debhelper(1) and  other  packages  are  needed  by  the  build
           process.

           The following special cases are detected:

           Module::Build::Tiny
               if  Module::Build::Tiny  is  present in the build-dependencies, debhelper dependency is raised to
               9.20140227~ in case it was lower before.

           dh --with=quilt
               "dh --with=quilt" needs quilt.

           quilt.make
               If /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make is included in debian/rules,  a  build-dependency  on  "quilt"  is
               added.

           dh --with=perl_dbi
               A build dependency on "libdbi-perl" is added.

           dh --with=perl_openssl
               A build dependency on "perl-openssl-defaults" is added.

       makefile_pl_is_MBC
           Checks if Makefile.PL is a compatibility wrapper around Build.PL provided by Module::Build::Compat.

       backup_file(file_name)
           Creates  a  backup  copy  of  the  specified file by adding ".bak" to its name. If the backup already
           exists, it is overwritten.

           Does nothing unless the "backups" option is set.

       unquote(string)
           Runs its argument through Text::Balanced's  "extract_quotelike"  method  and  returns  the  extracted
           content with quotes removed. Dies if "extract_quotelike" can't find quoted string.

       create_upstream_metadata
           Populates       debian/upstream/metadata       with       information      from      META,      using
           Debian::Upstream::Metadata::Perl.

       cme_fix_dpkg_control
           The equivalent of letting cme(1) reformat and fix debian/control.
