Re^3: Building a CPAN distribution having a script with Dist::Milla by Anonymous Monk on Jun 08, 2013 at 09:41 UTC
I want to distribute a script with my module. When someone downloads my distribution and installs with (say) cpanm, this script should get installed in a location that is listed in the user's $PATH. How can I achieve this See http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Minilla#script_files script_files get installed into installsitescript `$ perl -V:installsitescript installsitescript='C:\citrusperl\site\bin';` [download] You should already have installsitescript in your $PATH So, just drop the file to get installed into a scripts or a bin directory, and after minilla is done packaging/publishing... and you try to install, it should go into installsitescript, which is the default and expected thing Does that answer your question?

Yes it does, completely and precisely. You have referred to the minilla docs, while my question pertained to Dist::Milla. But both are related and I guess both install whatever is in script/ to installsitescript. Thank you for the response.	[reply]
