If you take care that the brick's function is not depending on assumptions about the wall or the house it is going to be used in then the brick is much more versatile.

For the same reason you build functions in a way that they do not make assumptions about the program they are called from. This way you make your functions much more versatile.

I hope this helps.

dist::zilla::app::command::build

Dist::Zilla::App::Command::build(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		     Dist::Zilla::App::Command::build(3pm)

NAME

       Dist::Zilla::App::Command::build - build your dist

VERSION

       version 4.300020

SYNOPSIS

	 dzil build [ --trial ] [ --tgz | --no-tgz ] [ --in /path/to/build/dir ]

DESCRIPTION

       This command is a very thin layer over the Dist::Zilla "build" method, which does all the things required to build your distribution.  By
       default, it will also archive your distribution and leave you with a complete, ready-to-release distribution tarball.

EXAMPLE

	 $ dzil build
	 $ dzil build --no-tgz
	 $ dzil build --in /path/to/build/dir

OPTIONS

   --trial
       This will build a trial distribution.  Among other things, it will generally mean that the built tarball's basename ends in -TRIAL.

   --tgz | --no-tgz
       Builds a .tar.gz in your project directory after building the distribution.

       --tgz behaviour is by default, use --no-tgz to disable building an archive.

   --in
       Specifies the directory into which the distribution should be built.  If necessary, the directory will be created.  An archive will not be
       created.
