=head1 NAME

build_distro.pl - build a tar.gz from a MANIFEST

=head1 VERSION

Version 0.01

=cut

our $VERSION = '0.01';

=head1 SYNOPSIS

This script will accept a package name and a source directory
and use them to build a gzipped tarball for distribution of
only those files and directories not commented out from a
MANIFEST list in the source directory.

To use, at the moment:

        /path/to/build_distro.pl

after hard coding in the values for $pkg and $basedir and
changing the current directory to the path where you want to
package written to.

Longrange the interface is imagined as:

    use Module::BuildDistro;

    my $pkg = Module::BuildDistro->new({ -source => 'Your_New_Module' });
    $pkg->build_distro();

    or, perhaps simply:

    module-build-distro --source=Your_New_Module/
