NAME

       Module::Build::Tiny - A tiny replacement for Module::Build

VERSION

       version 0.034

SYNOPSIS

	use Module::Build::Tiny;
	Build_PL();

DESCRIPTION

       Many Perl distributions use a Build.PL file instead of a Makefile.PL file to drive distribution configuration, build, test and
       installation.  Traditionally, Build.PL uses Module::Build as the underlying build system.  This module provides a simple, lightweight,
       drop-in replacement.

       Whereas Module::Build has over 6,700 lines of code; this module has less than 120, yet supports the features needed by most distributions.

   Supported
       o   Pure Perl distributions

       o   Building XS or C

       o   Recursive test files

       o   MYMETA

       o   Man page generation

       o   Generated code from PL files

   Not Supported
       o   Dynamic prerequisites

       o   HTML documentation generation

       o   Extending Module::Build::Tiny

       o   Module sharedirs

   Directory structure
       Your .pm and .pod files must be in lib/.  Any executables must be in script/.  Test files must be in t/. Dist sharedirs must be in share/.

USAGE

       These all work pretty much like their Module::Build equivalents.

   perl Build.PL
   Build [ build ]
   Build test
   Build install
       This supports the following options:

       o   verbose

       o   install_base

       o   installdirs

       o   prefix

       o   install_path

       o   destdir

       o   uninst

       o   config

       o   pure-perl

       o   create_packlist

AUTHORING

       This module doesn't support authoring. To develop modules using Module::Build::Tiny, usage of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ModuleBuildTiny or
       App::ModuleBuildTiny is recommended.

CONFIG FILE AND ENVIRONMENT

       Options can be provided in the "PERL_MB_OPT" environment variable the same way they can with Module::Build. This should be done during the
       configuration stage.

   Incompatibilities
       o   Argument parsing

	   Module::Build has an extremely permissive way of argument handling, Module::Build::Tiny only supports a (sane) subset of that. In
	   particular, "./Build destdir=/foo" does not work, you will need to pass it as "./Build --destdir=/foo".

       o   .modulebuildrc

	   Module::Build::Tiny does not support .modulebuildrc files. In particular, this means that versions of local::lib older than 1.006008
	   may break. Upgrading it resolves this issue.
