Module::Install::Share - Install non-code files for use during run-time

Authors

Description

       As well as Perl modules and Perl binary applications, some distributions need to install read-only data
       files to a location on the file system for use at run-time.

       XML Schemas, YAML data files, and SQLite databases are examples of the sort of things distributions might
       typically need to have available after installation.

       "Module::Install::Share" is a Module::Install extension that provides commands to allow these files to be
       installed to the applicable location on disk.

       To locate the files after installation so they can be used inside your module, see this extension's
       companion module File::ShareDir.

Name

       Module::Install::Share - Install non-code files for use during run-time

See Also

       Module::Install, File::ShareDir

Synopsis

           # Put everything inside ./share/ into the distribution 'auto' path
           install_share 'share';

           # Same thing as above using the default directory name
           install_share;

To Do

       Currently "install_share" installs not only the files you want, but if called by the author will also
       copy .svn and other source-control directories, and other junk.

       Enhance this to copy only files under share that are in the MANIFEST, or possibly those not in
       MANIFEST.SKIP.
