DESCRIPTION

perldist is the command line front-end to the Perl::Dist Win32 Perl distribution builder.

It takes two arguments, burns CPU for an hour or more, and then spits out a distribution package.

The argument is the class name for the distribution. This will be a subclass of Perl::Dist that provides configuration information and scripts the installation sequence.

If you are building a "Perl::Dist::Distribution" class, you can drop the "Perl::Dist::" as a convenience.

And that's about all there is to it.

For more information, see Perl::Dist.
