13.9 Trivial make dist

After some testing, you may decide
it''''s time to share your work with friends and
associates. To do this, make a single distribution file. Many
mechanisms are available to do this, but the most common one on most
modern Unix platforms is the GNU gzip compressed
tar archive, commonly named with a
.tar.gz or .tgz extension.

Again, with a simple make invocation
(make dist), you end up with the required file:

$ make dist
rm -rf Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01
/usr/local/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Manifest=manicopy,maniread" 
-e "manicopy(maniread(  ),''''Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01'''', ''''best'''');"
mkdir Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01
mkdir Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01/t
tar cvf Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01.tar Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01
Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01/
Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01/Changes
Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01/Makefile.PL
Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01/MANIFEST
Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01/Maps.pm
Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01/README
Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01/t/
Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01/t/1.t
rm -rf Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01
gzip --best Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01.tar

Now there''''s a file named
Island-Plotting-Maps-0.01.tar.gz in the directory.
The version number in the name comes from the
module''''s $VERSION
variable.[16]

[16] If there''''s more than one
module, you need to designate the primary module in the
Makefile.PL.
