I am not aware of an existing mechanism to detect the .ph files and build them. A simple way could be to add something like this in then Makefile.PL:
if (!eval { require "sys/syscall.ph"; 1 }) {
my $save_pwd = cwd;
chdir "/usr/include" or die $!;
system("h2ph", "sys/syscall.ph");
chdir $save_pwd or die $!;
}
Of course, this should be only run on Unix systems. But not all Unix systems have include files installed, so one has to be protected from this fact. Also, Makefile.PL is often not run under root permissions, so the above would fail. It's also possible that even "make install" is not run as root, so maybe it should also be possible to install the .ph into some other directory.
Or maybe it would be safer to not use .ph files at all and move the required stuff into an XS module?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
