NAME

LEOCHARRE::Dev - tools to help manage distro development and maintenance

DESCRIPTION

This package is a collection of modules and scripts to aid in development. Most of the functionality is in the set of cli scripts provided in distro, these reside under bin/

This distro is a set of tools to help me manage a distro- and development. It is in my namespace because a lot of the scripts and methods here are already available in other packages.

I find these set of tools very valuable.

For example,

   - automatically generate pod from source
   - analize your distro and tell what modules are deps and what versions are currently installed
   - auto Makefile.PL and MANIFEST generation
   - check out what version of a module is installed and if it's the most current on cpan
   - etc

SUBS

These subs are contained in the main module. None are exported by default.

is_pmdist()

Argument is abs path to dist directory. If no argument provided, uses Cwd. Returns abs path resolved by Cww::abs_path

   my $abs_dist = is_pmdist();
   my $abs_dist = is_pmdist('./dev/My-Module');

We deem a directory to be a distro if a Makefile.PL file is present therein.

ls_pmdist()

Argument is path to distro dir. If left out, tries to use is_pmdist(). Returns list of files relative to dist dir, with no leading slash. (not array ref).

Leaves out CVS entries.

Executables

A number of useful perl module tools are present to aid in development.
