Hey,
Suppose I want to auto-generate the README from the main .pm
file documentation. I've been using the following to do it:
my $module = 'AI::Categorizer';
(my $dir = $module) =~ s/::/-/g;
....
'dist' => { COMPRESS=>"gzip",
SUFFIX=>"gz",
PREOP=>('rm -f README; '.
"pod2text -80 < $file > README; ".
"cp -f README $dir-\$(VERSION); "
),
},
However, that doesn't work so well. In particular, if a README
file doesn't already exist, manicopy() will die because the
README is in the MANIFEST, and it can't find it when it's
building the $dir-$VERSION directory.
Is there some other way to achieve this? I haven't found it yet.
Also, am I wrong, or did manicopy() just warn on this error
(instead of dying) in previous versions? I'm running the EU::MM
5.45 version that comes with perl 5.6.0 on this particular
machine.
