NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ShareDir::Clean - Delete current per-dist share dir before install
VERSION
This document describes version 0.05 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ShareDir::Clean (from Perl distribution Dist-Zilla-Plugin-ShareDir-Clean), released on 2016-06-08.
SYNOPSIS
In your dist.ini:
[ShareDir]
[ShareDir::Clean]
;dir=shareDESCRIPTION
WARNING: This plugin will add a code in Makefile.PL to *DELETE* (rm -rf) a directory in the installation target, which might have severe consequences. Don't use this plugin unless you know exactly what you're doing.
This plugin is an alternative to using Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ShareDir::Tarball (please read the documentation of that module first for the rationale). With this plugin, you can keep using Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ShareDir, but eliminate the problem of lingering old files.
What this plugin does is delete the current per-dist share directory in the installation target before installation.
Some caveats/current limitations:
Only Makefile.PL is currently supported.
Windows (or other non-POSIX) installation target system is not yet tested.
All in all, I think Yanick's ShareDir::Tarball plugin is a slightly more elegant hack and I use it. But when it's more appropriate, I use this plugin too.
CONFIGURATION
dir => str (default: share)
Name of shared directory.
