Not Perl files that need to be installed with CPAN?

Question

I need to install files with my CPAN drive that are not Perl. Where should I say at what distance? and what's the best way to refer to them from inside the module so that I have access to them regardless of user configuration?

Answer 1

Well, you do not quite understand what these files are and how they are used, but you are probably looking for File :: ShareDir .

File :: ShareDir only cares about access to files from your module while working. The method of installing files installed with your module depends on the installation system you are using:

• If you use Dist :: Zilla , you use its ShareDir , which has an undocumented dir parameter, which is share by default.

• For Module :: Build you use share_dir .

• For Module :: Install, you use install_share .

• ExtUtils :: MakeMaker does not have built-in support, but you can use File :: ShareDir :: Install to add it.
