Dist::Z...ExecDir(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ExecDir — okay bestie, this plugin installs a directory's contents as executables 💅

So like, you have a whole folder of scripts and you want them to land in the right place as actual runnable executables? That's the whole vibe. That's the job. Periodt.

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 6.040 — yes, that's the one, no cap 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

In your dist.ini:

[ExecDir]
dir = scripts

If no "dir" is provided, the default is bin. 🦋

That's it. That's the whole config. Lowkey iconic.

---

💖 PERL VERSION 💖

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. ✨ Which, translated from nerd: any version of perl released in the last two to three years. Like, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38. Simple math, bestie 🧮

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. 👀 And fr fr, the version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. So don't come for her with a downgrade PR, she's not doing that 😭

Not me being dramatically clear about this: the floor can move up at any time. It's giving "read the fine print" energy, but for your perl version.
