Module::Build - how include data files?

GUIfriend has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

My program consists of several modules, all contained in the same directory, say "mydir". I succeeded in creating a tarball from this by using Module::Build. Now I want to add a subdirectory "mydir/examples", and this should be populated with several text files. How can I manage this?

You're not really asking how to copy some files in a subdirectory, are you? Are you sure you're not asking about https://metacpan.org/module/Module::Build::API#share_dir?	[reply]

I found a rather straightforward way to reach my goal: Copy all examples to the destination directory use `$builder->add_build_element('sudo');` immediately before `$builder->create_build_script();` ('.sudo' is the extension of my example files) Use `./Build manifest` to update the MANIFEST file	[reply] [d/l] [select]
