NAME

makedist - make cpan distribution

USAGE

makedist [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

makedist automates the process of creating a distribution to be uploaded to CPAN.

The MANIFEST file is inspected for files to be included.

We make an attempt to extract the package name from any perl module file found, and the package name must follow this convention:

package File::LsColor;

If extraction fails, we use the basename of the current working directory as a distribution name:

~/dev/makedist  => App-makedist

Version number is extracted from a perl module file if it exists, else an App:: distribution is assumed and version is extracted from the bin/ directory.

CONFIGURATION

makedist looks for a configuration file in the following locations, in order of precedence:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/makedist/makedist.conf
$HOME/.makedist.conf

Various options can be set in the makedist.conf configuration file.

By default, two variables can be accessed and modified in the configuration file:

# the basename of the gzipped tarball, i.e File-LsColor-0.192.tar.gz
$finished_product

# code to execute on success. A few examples are provided in the
# configuration file.
$command_on_success

The author uses the $command_on_success coderef like this:

our $command_on_success = sub {
  copy();   # copy the dist to a local dir
  scp();    # scp the dist to a remote server
  upload(); # upload the dist to cpan
}

An example configuration file is provided with this distribution.

OPTIONS

    --noconfig skip config file

-v, --verbose explain what is being done
-h, --help    show this help and exit
