ExtUtils::Builder tries to abstract steps of build processes into reusable building blocks for creating platform and build system agnostic executable descriptions of work. . The ExtUtils::Builder Plan framework includes Actions, Nodes and Plans. . Actions are the cornerstone of the ExtUtils::Builder framework. They provide an interface between build tools (e.g. ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build, ...) and building extensions. This allows producing and consuming sides to be completely independent from each other. It is a flexible abstraction around pieces of work, this work can be a piece of perl code, an external command, a mix of those or possibly other things. . Nodes are composite Actions. . Plans are the equivalent of a (piece of a) Makefile. They are a bunch of nodes that should interconnect.
