A (very) short list of Dist::Zilla tips
For App::fooapp type distributions then you might want the README etc generated from a specific file. Add this to dist.ini
:
main_module = bin/fooapp
; btw, semicolon leads a comment, in case you forgot how to do that
Any Module::Install converts reading this should note the bin
directory, not script
.
In bin/fooapp
itself you also provide an additional metadata hint (next to ABSTRACT):
# PODNAME: fooapp
Which results in nifty Metacpan links such as:
Finally this hint to the POD munger will allow a section to be pinned in place above the SYNOPSIS:
=begin :prelude
# POD here...
=end :prelude
I hope these tips are helpful to some…
