Alien::Rust - Find or build Rust
Command line tool:
use Alien::Rust;
use Env qw( @PATH $RUSTUP_HOME );
unshift @PATH, Alien::Rust->bin_dir;
$RUSTUP_HOME = Alien::Rust->rustup_home if Alien::Rust->needs_rustup_home;
This distribution provides Rust so that it can be used by other Perl distributions that are on CPAN. It does this by first trying to detect an existing install of Rust on your system. If found it will use that. If it cannot be found, the source code will be downloaded from the internet and it will be installed in a private share location for the use of other modules.
Returns the value for the environment variable RUSTUP_HOME
. This is valid only
if "needs_rustup_home" returns true.
Without this value, certain Rust configurations that use
rustup
will not work as their
binaries (e.g., rustc
, cargo
, etc.) are shims that point to the toolchain
managed by rustup
.
Returns true if the value returned by "rustup_home" must be set. See "rustup_home" for more information.
