This will create and set your home directory.

usermod -d <directory> -m <username>

Then copy the /etc/skel/local.profile to your home directory and rename to .profile .

I think that should do it...

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

NAME
Dist::Zilla::App::Command::new - mint a new dist VERSION
version 4.300020 SYNOPSIS
Creates a new Dist-Zilla based distribution under the current directory. $ dzil new Main::Module::Name There are two arguments, "-p" and "-P". "-P" specify the minting profile provider and "-p" - the profile name. The default profile provider first looks in the ~/.dzil/profiles/$profile_name and then among standard profiles, shipped with Dist::Zilla. For example: $ dzil new -p work Corporate::Library This command would instruct "dzil" to look in ~/.dzil/profiles/work for a profile.ini (or other "profile" config file). If no profile name is given, "dzil" will look for the "default" profile. If no default directory exists, it will use a very simple configuration shipped with Dist::Zilla. $ dzil new -P Foo Corporate::Library This command would instruct "dzil" to consult the Foo provider about the directory of 'default' profile.
