POD at the end] I was doing that before PBP, it's beter to leave the code alone and send the docs after end IMHO. Since I know that Pod is after that I can get it without parsing with Pod::Simple or I can just do [SHIFT]+[PgDown] to get all of it. Or maybe I just want to add something before "=cut" (which I do when building distros) and I stil don't need to parse Pod to do that. Inline Pod is evil. I hate it everytime I see it. Makes it hard ro read code too. But again, just IMHO & $0.02. [5 Support for more software licences] I think leaving this to Software::License is a better choice. [7 Good integration with the underlying version control system] I don't usually add everything in the repo to MANIFEST. So, unwanted stuff does not goto CPAN until I want them to. I also don't add revision comments automatically to the Changes file since it'll include a lot of unnecessary noise. > I cover there the introduction of Dist-Man (short for Dist-Manager), > some > ideas I have for its future, and request further ideas and insights. > > I should note that Dist-Man takes a different approach from Dist-Zilla. > While > Dist-Zilla removes redundant code from the ultimate sources and inserts > it > automatically before the release (which may skew the line numbers), > Dist-Man > will manipulate actual lib/**/*.pm, etc. sources in-place, which will > allow > them to be modified and corrected. > > Have a nice weekend. > > Regards, > > Shlomi Fish > > -- > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ > Parody on "The Fountainhead" - http://shlom.in/towtf > > Chuck Norris read the entire English Wikipedia in 24 hours.
