NAME

Dist::Build − A modern module builder, author tools not included!

"Dist::Build" is a Build.PL implementation. Unlike Module::Build::Tiny it is extensible, unlike Module::Build it uses a build graph internally which makes it easy to combine different customizations. It's typically extended by adding a ".pl" script in "planner/". E.g.

load_extension("Dist::Build::ShareDir");
dist_sharedir('share', 'Foo−Bar');
load_extension("Dist::Build::XS");
load_extension("Dist::Build::XS::Alien");
add_xs(
alien => 'foo',
extra_sources => [ glob 'src/*.c' ],
);
