NAME

perldist_w - Windows Perl distribution builder

SYNOPSIS

Simplfied usage...

  perldist_w Vanilla
  ...
  (various output for 1-2 hours)
  ...
  Created as C:\tmp\vp\output\vanilla-perl-5.10.0-build-9.exe

Full usage equivalent...

  perldist_w --perl_version=588 --cpan="file://c:/minicpan/" Perl::Dist::Vanilla

DESCRIPTION

perldist_w is the command line front-end to the Perl::Dist::WiX Win32 Perl distribution builder.

It takes arguments, burns CPU for an hour or more, and then spits out a distribution package.

The argument is the class name for the distribution. This will be a subclass of Perl::Dist::WiX that provides configuration information and scripts the installation sequence.

If you are building a "Perl::Dist::Distribution" class, you can drop the "Perl::Dist::" as a convenience.

And that's about all there is to it.

For more information, see Perl::Dist::WiX.
