in reply to Add bash file to a dist package

With Module::Build, add something like this to your Build.PL: 
my $builder = Module::Build->new(
    ...
    sh_files => { 'path/in/dist/to/test.sh' => 'sh/test666.sh'},
    install_path => { sh => '/etc/profile.d' },
    ...
}
$builder->add_build_element('sh');
$builder->create_build_script();

    Thanks, I follow your hints and it seems to work.

    Just one think is not clear to me again.

    I used a Build.PL file like this: 

    use strict;
use warnings;
use Module::Build;

my $builder = Module::Build->new(
    module_name         => 'Jump',
    license             => 'perl',
    dist_author         => q{Enzo Arlati <enzo.arlati@libero.it>},
    dist_version_from   => 'lib/Jump.pm',
    build_requires => {
        'Test::More' => 0,
    },
    sh_files => { 'sh/jump.sh' => 'sh/jump.sh'  },
    add_to_cleanup      => [ 'Jump-*' ],
    create_makefile_pl => 'traditional',
);

$builder->install_path( 'sh' => '/etc/profile.d/' );
$builder->add_build_element( 'sh' );

$builder->create_build_script();

    In this file I have to add the statement: 
    sh_files => { 'sh/jump.sh' => 'sh/jump.sh'  },

    also if the source and destination of the sh files are the same.

    If I comment this line the jump.sh file are not processed.

    Is this correct and there are a more polite way to tell the program to include the file *.sh ?

    Regards, Enzo

      According Module::Build::Cookbook, if you specify 
      $builder->add_build_element( 'sh' );

      this will find all *.sh files in the lib directory of your distribution. In your case, the bash script is in a non-standard directory, so you have to tell Module::Build where it is: 
      sh_files => { 'sh/jump.sh' => 'sh/jump.sh'  },

      And here the files are not the same. The destination is 'blib/sh/jump.sh'.
