NAME
Module::Install::ReadmeMarkdownFromPod - create README.mkdn from POD
SYNOPSIS
# in Makefile.PL
use inc::Module::Install;
name 'Some-Module';
readme_markdown_from 'lib/Some/Module.pm';
DESCRIPTION
Module::Install::ReadmeMarkdownFromPod is a Module::Install extension
that generates a README.mkdn file automatically from an indicated file
containing POD whenever the author runs Makefile.PL. This file is used by
GitHub to display nicely formatted information about a repository.
FUNCTIONS
readme_markdown_from
Does nothing on the user-side. On the author-side it will generate a
README.mkdn file using Pod::Markdown from the POD in the file passed as
a parameter.
readme_markdown_from 'lib/Some/Module.pm';
If a second parameter is set to a true value then the README.mkdn will be
removed at make distclean.
readme_markdown_from 'lib/Some/Module.pm' => 'clean';
It will die unless a file name is given.
reference_module
A utility function that saves you from repeatedly naming a reference module from which to extract information.
reference_module 'lib/Some/Module.pm';
is equivalent to:
all_from 'lib/Some/Module.pm';
readme_from 'lib/Some/Module.pm';
readme_markdown_from 'lib/Some/Module.pm';
It will die unless a file name is given. Note that reference_module will
not work with Shipit::Step::FindVersion because that module is looking for
a version_from or all_from string in Makefile.PL
