I'd like to make use of Test::Pod::Snippets to test the examples in my
docs. The example shows using the PL_files option in Build.PL to create
the tests automatically when you run ./Build, but this presumably means
Test::Pod::Snippets becomes a build prereq, which seems silly.
I can (and will) run the snippet test-generating script manually and
ship the resulting tests, but it'd be nice to be able to generate a
properly up-to-date test when I build the distribution itself, lest I
forget to do so.
Is there a hook somewhere in Module::Build to do this? Or am I missing a
trick somewhere? (Obviously I could have a distro-building script or
something, but if there are hooks somewhere for doing this "properly"
I'd prefer to use them....)
