NAME
append_postamble - Inject custom Makefile targets into Dist::Zilla generated Makefile.PL
SYNOPSIS
perl dev/append_postamble Makefile.PLDESCRIPTION
This script reads custom Makefile targets from dev/Makefile.targets and injects them into a Dist::Zilla generated Makefile.PL file via a postamble subroutine. It automatically filters out targets that conflict with ExtUtils::MakeMaker's built-in targets.
The script is designed to run as part of the Dist::Zilla build process via the Run::AfterBuild plugin.
FUNCTIONS
read_targets_file($targets_file)
Reads the contents of the targets file and returns it as a string.
filter_conflicting_targets($targets_content)
Removes targets that would conflict with ExtUtils::MakeMaker's built-in targets (test, clean, install) to avoid "target redefined" warnings.
create_postamble($targets_content)
Creates the Perl code for the MY::postamble subroutine that will be injected into the Makefile.PL.
read_makefile_pl($makefile_pl)
Reads the Makefile.PL file and returns its contents.
write_makefile_pl($makefile_pl, $content)
Writes the modified content back to the Makefile.PL file.
inject_postamble($content, $postamble)
Injects the postamble code before the WriteMakefile call in the Makefile.PL.
main
Main program logic that orchestrates the entire process.
