Test::File::ShareDir "Test::File::ShareDir" is some low level plumbing to enable a distribution to perform tests while consuming its own "share" directories in a manner similar to how they will be once installed. This allows "File::ShareDir" to see the *latest* version of content instead of simply whatever is installed on whichever target system you happen to be testing on. Note: This module only has support for creating 'new' style share dirs and are NOT compatible with old File::ShareDirs. For this reason, unless you have File::ShareDir 1.00 or later installed, this module will not be usable by you. 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 .
