 use strict;
 use OpenInteract2::Manage;
 
 my $website_dir = '/home/httpd/mysite';

DESCRIPTION

This task creates a CPAN distribution from your package contents and metadata. You should be able to send the generated distribution to anyone else for them to run the standard install:

 perl Makefile.PL
 make
 make test
 make install

For installing directly to a webserver you can do:

 perl Makefile.PL WEBSITE_DIR=/path/to/mysite
 make
 make test
 make install

And the files will be copied to the right place.

OPTIONS

package_dir=/path/to/package

Path to your package; defaults to current directory if not given.

make_bin=nmake

Name of your 'make' command; defaults to 'make' if not given.

Optional

keep_dir=yes/no

Whether to keep the directory we use to create the CPAN package; defaults to 'no'.
