💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically: dh-make-perl-dev runs dh-make-perl from a Git checkout. That's it. That's the whole vibe. It's literally just pointing at your local checkout instead of whatever packaged version you've got installed, and letting you run it. no cap 🫶

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

dh-make-perl-dev uses the DPT_PACKAGES environment variable to find the local Git repository of dh-make-perl. 👑

Like, that's how it knows where your checkout lives. Set that env var, and it'll go find it.

See dpt-config(5) for the details — iykyk, go read it if you need the full tea ☕
