Description : Perl module creating bare-bones Makefile.PL files
for use with dzil
Dist::Zilla makes developing modules much easier by generating all kinds of
boilerplate files, saving authors from having to write them by hand, but in
some cases this can make developing more inconvenient. The most prominent
example of this is with Makefile.PL files - although the majority of
distributions can be hacked on just by editing the files in a source control
checkout and using prove for testing, for some this isn't sufficient. In
particular, distributions which use an auto-generated test suite and
distributions which use XS both need special handling at build time before
they will function, and with Dist::Zilla, this means running dzil build and
rebuilding after every change. This is tedious!
ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Dist::Zilla::Develop provides an alternative. Create a
minimal Makefile.PL in source control which handles just enough
functionality
for basic development (it can be as minimal as just what is in the
/SYNOPSIS,
but can also contain commands to generate your test suite, for example), and
tell Dist::Zilla to replace it with a real Makefile.PL when you're actually
ready to build a real distribution. To do this, make sure you're still using
the MakeMaker|Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MakeMaker plugin, either directly or
through a pluginbundle like @Basic|Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Basic, and add
the exclude_filename = Makefile.PL option to your dist.ini where you use
[GatherDir].
The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group.
