13
15 This command is a very thin layer over the Dist::Zilla "build" method,
16 which does all the things required to build your distribution. By
17 default, it will also archive your distribution and leave you with a
18 complete, ready-to-release distribution tarball.
19
20 To go a bit further in depth, the "build" command will do two things:
21
22 • Generate a directory containing your module, "Foo-0.100". This
23 directory is complete. You could create a gzipped tarball from this
24 directory and upload it directly to "PAUSE" if you so desired. You
25 could "cd" into this directory and test your module on Perl
26 installations where you don't have "Dist::Zilla", for example.
27
28 This is a default behavior of the "build" command. You can alter
29 where it puts the directory with "--in /path/to/build/dir".
30
31 • Generate a gzipped tarball of your module, "Foo-0.100.tar.gz". This
32 file could be uploaded directly to "PAUSE" to make a release of
33 your module if you wanted. Or, you can test your module: "cpanm
34 --test-only Foo-0.100.tar.gz". This is the same thing you would
35 get if you compressed the directory described above.
36
37 The gzipped tarball is generated by default, but if you don't want
38 it to be generated, you can pass the "--no-tgz" option. In that
39 case, it would only generate the directory described above.
40
41 Once you're done testing or publishing your build, you can clean up
42 everything with a "dzil clean".
43
45 $ dzil build
46 $ dzil build --no-tgz
47 $ dzil build --in /path/to/build/dir
48
50 --trial
51 This will build a trial distribution. Among other things, it will
52 generally mean that the built tarball's basename ends in -TRIAL.
53
54 --tgz | --no-tgz
55 Builds a .tar.gz in your project directory after building the
56 distribution.
57
58 --tgz behaviour is by default, use --no-tgz to disable building an
59 archive.
60
61 --in
62 Specifies the directory into which the distribution should be built.
63 If necessary, the directory will be created. An archive will not be
64 created.
