dist::zilla::app::command::run
Dist::Zilla::App::Command::run(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Dist::Zilla::App::Command::run(3pm)
NAME
Dist::Zilla::App::Command::run - run stuff in a dir where your dist is built
VERSION
version 4.300020
SYNOPSIS
$ dzil run ./bin/myscript
$ dzil run prove -bv t/mytest.t
$ dzil run bash
DESCRIPTION
This command will build your dist with Dist::Zilla, then build the distribution and then run a command in the build directory. It's
something like doing this:
dzil build
rsync -avp My-Project-version/ .build/
cd .build
perl Makefile.PL # or perl Build.PL
make # or ./Build
export PERL5LIB=$PWD/blib/lib:$PWD/blib/arch
<your command as defined by rest of params>
Except for the fact it's built directly in a subdir of .build (like .build/69105y2).
A command returning with an non-zero error code will left the build directory behind for analysis, and "dzil" will exit with a non-zero
status. Otherwise, the build directory will be removed and dzil will exit with status zero.
If no run command is provided, a new default shell is invoked. This can be useful for testing your distribution as if it were installed.
