NAME

Module::Build::Tiny - A tiny replacement for Module::Build

SYNOPSIS

use Module::Build::Tiny;
BuildPL();

DESCRIPTION

Many Perl distributions use a Build.PL file instead of a Makefile.PL file to drive distribution configuration, build, test and installation. Traditionally, Build.PL uses Module::Build as the underlying build system. This module provides a simple, lightweight, drop-in replacement.

Whereas Module::Build has over 6,700 lines of code; this module has under 100, yet supports the features needed by most pure-Perl distributions.

Supported

* Pure Perl distributions
* Recursive test files
* MYMETA
* Man page generation

Not Supported

* Dynamic prerequisites
* Generated code from PL files
* Building XS or C
* HTML documentation generation
* Extending Module::Build::Tiny

Other limitations

* This is an experimental module -- use at your own risk

Directory structure

Your .pm and .pod files must be in lib/. Any executables must be in script/. Test files must be in t/. Bundled test modules must be in t/lib/.

USAGE

These all work pretty much like their Module::Build equivalents.

perl Build.PL

Build [ build ]

Build test

Build install

This supports the following options:

  • install_base

  • installdirs

  • prefix

  • install_path

  • destdir

  • uninst

Build clean

Build realclean

AUTHORING

This module doesn't support authoring. To develop modules using Module::Build::Tiny, usage of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ModuleBuildTiny is recommended.

CONFIG FILE AND ENVIRONMENT

Options can be provided in a .modulebuildrc file or in the PERL_MB_OPT environment variable the same way they can with Module::Build.
