The system is the Perl programming language software. As established by the Perl referenced documents, program modules, such the "DataPort::Maker" module, extends the Perl language.
The File::Maker provides a "make" style interface for modules as shown below:
File::Maker
\%targets, @targets, \%options \%targets, @targets \%targets, \%options
The \%targets contains a list of targets that are supplied by the using program module. The option -pm = file tells File::Maker to load a database from the __DATA__ section of a program module that is in the Tie::Form format. This provides a more flexible alternative to the defines and macros in a "makefile".
-pm = file

Changes are as follows:
Originated
Need a return at top of the __DATA__ record to be compatible with obsolete DataPort::Maker program module.
__DATA__
DataPort::Maker
Restore @INC in load_db subroutine. Added test for the same.
@INC
load_db
Failures for 0.03:
Subject: FAIL File-Maker-0.03 i386-netbsd 1.6 Subject: FAIL File-Maker-0.03 sparc-linux 2.4.21-pre7 Subject: FAIL File-Maker-0.03 i386-freebsd 4.6.2-release From: alian@cpan.org (CPAN Tester; CPAN++ automate ) t/File/Maker....# Test 6 got: ' Revision: -^ End_User: General Public^ Author: http://www.SoftwareDiamonds.com support@SoftwareDiamonds.com^ Version: ^ Classification: None^ ~-~ ' (t/File/Maker.t at line 190) # Expected: ' Revision: -^ End_User: General Public^ Author: http://www.SoftwareDiamonds.com support@SoftwareDiamonds.com^ Version: ^ Classification: None^ ~-~ '
CORRECTIVE:
Probably differences in New Line for Unix versus Microsoft. Thus, run the __DATA__ through the smartNL routine to see if File-Maker has a better reception in the UNIX world.
Had DataPort::Maker for POD NAME. Changed POD NAME to File::Maker
\item File-Maker-0.05
Changed synopsis for a target so that it now nay return a $self object reference as well as $success. This allows targets to pass data between each other via the $self underlying data or even create a different class object for $self.
$self
$success
