Re^3: Building a CPAN distribution having a script with Dist::Milla

I want to distribute a script with my module. When someone downloads my distribution and installs with (say) cpanm, this script should get installed in a location that is listed in the user's $PATH. How can I achieve this

See http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Minilla#script_files

script_files get installed into installsitescript

$ perl -V:installsitescript
installsitescript='C:\citrusperl\site\bin';
[download]

You should already have installsitescript in your $PATH

So, just drop the file to get installed into a scripts or a bin directory, and after minilla is done packaging/publishing... and you try to install, it should go into installsitescript, which is the default and expected thing

Does that answer your question?

Yes it does, completely and precisely. You have referred to the minilla docs, while my question pertained to Dist::Milla. But both are related and I guess both install whatever is in script/ to installsitescript. Thank you for the response.	[reply]
