Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Bootstrap::ShareDir::Dist This module allows one to load a "Dist" styled "ShareDir" using a "Bootstrap" mechanism so a distribution can use files in its own source tree when building with itself. This is very much like the "Bootstrap::lib" plugin in that it injects libraries into @INC based on your existing source tree, or a previous build you ran. And it is syntactically like the "ShareDir" plugin. Note that this is really only useful for self consuming *plugins* and will have no effect on the "test" or "run" phases of your dist. ( For that, you'll need "Test::File::ShareDir" ). INSTALLATION This is a Perl module distribution. It should be installed with whichever tool you use to manage your installation of Perl, e.g. any of cpanm . cpan . cpanp -i . Consult http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html for further instruction. Should you wish to install this module manually, the procedure is perl Makefile.PL make make test make install COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2015 by Kent Fredric .
