Please note that the Build.PL
file found in this repo is a template
and is not intended to be used directly. You should use Dist::Zilla
to manage the building of this software instead (see below).
The distribution is managed with Dist::Zilla
(https://metacpan.org/release/Dist-Zilla). This means than many of
the usual files you might expect are not in the repository, but are
generated at release time (e.g. Build.PL
).
Dist::Zilla
is a very powerful authoring tool, but requires a number
of author-specific plugins. If you would like to use it for
contributing, install it from CPAN, then run one of the following
commands, depending on your CPAN client:
$ cpan `dzil authordeps --missing`
or
$ dzil authordeps --missing | cpanm
You should then also install any additional requirements not needed by
the dzil
build but may be needed by tests or other development:
$ cpan `dzil listdeps --author --missing`
or
$ dzil listdeps --author --missing | cpanm
Once installed, here are some dzil commands you might try:
$ dzil build
$ dzil test
$ dzil test --release
$ dzil xtest
$ dzil listdeps --json
$ dzil build --notgz
