buildPerl

A simple bash script to help build Perl modules for distribution to CPAN.

Installation

buildPerl assumes that is it in the _buildPerl directory at the root of your Perl project. The intent is that buildPerl will be included in your project as a Git Submodule.

git submodule add https://github.com/marmanold/buildPerl.git _buildPerl 
cd _buildPerl
chmod +x buildPerl.sh

Usage

Testing

When you are testing your module buildPerl will make your project, update your README documentation, and run your test suite in verbose mode.

./buildPerl test

Distribution

When you are ready to package your module for CPAN or another repository, buildPerl will make your project, update your README documentation, then test and build your distribution tar-ball.

./buildPerl dist

Updating

If you would like to update your verison of buildPerl in your project run the following Git command at the root of your project.

git submodule update --remote --merge
