NAME
File::ShareDir::Tarball - Deal transparently with shared files
distributed as tarballs
VERSION
version 0.2.2
SYNOPSIS
use File::ShareDir::Tarball ':all';
# use exactly like File::ShareDir
$dir = dist_dir('File-ShareDir');
DESCRIPTION
If the shared files of a distribution are contained in a tarball (see
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ShareDir::Tarball for why you would want to do
that), automatically extract the archive in a temporary directory and
return the path to that directory. If called for a regular distribution
without a bundle file ("shared-files.tar.gz"), it'll return the original
shared dir. In other words, from the consumer point of view, it'll
behave just like File::ShareDir.
EXPORT TAGS
:all
Exports "dist_dir()" and "dist_file()".
EXPORTABLE FUNCTIONS
dist_dir( $distribution )
Behaves just like "dist_dir()" from File::ShareDir.
dist_file( $distribution, $file )
Behaves just like "dist_file()" from File::ShareDir.
