Module::New::Recipe::Dist - create a new distribution

From the shell/command line:

module_new dist Module::Name

creates Module-Name directory for the distribution, and trunk, branches, tags directories there, and also several files and tests (including lib/Module/Name.pm) in the <Module-Name/trunk> directory.

in

  module_new dist Module::Name --in t

creates a distribution in t/ directory, instead of the current directory.

no_dirs

  module_new dist Module::Name --no_dirs

doesn't creates Module-Name/trunk, Module-Name/branches, Module-Name/tags directories for subversion, and creates various files including lib/Module/Name.pm just under the Module-Name directory.

xs

  module_new dist Module::Name --xs

creates extra XS stuff like Name.xs, Name.h and ppport.h (if you have installed Devel::PPPort). Also, the content of lib/Module/Name.pm changes to load XSLoader.

make

  module_new dist Module::Name --make=ModuleInstall

by default, Module::New creates ExtUtils::MakeMaker-based Makefile.PL, but with this option, you can make it to create Build.PL to use Module::Build (set this to ModuleBuild or MB for shortcut), or Makefile.PL powered by Module::Install (set this to ModuleInstall, or MI).

edit

  module_new dist Module::Name --edit

If set to true, you can edit lib/Module/Name.pm you created.
