NAME Dist::HomeDir SUMMARY use Dist::Homedir; my $dist_home = Dist::Homedir::dist_home(); # A Path::Tiny object of the Dist home Easily find the dist homedir for an application set up as a cpan(ish) distribution but intended to be deployed via git checkout or by a tarball in a self contained directory. DO NOT use this in code that is ever likely to be installed via cpan or other package manager. DESCRIPTION This module was inspired by Catalyst::Utils->home() to obtain the root directory for obtaining application code and self-contained support data in directories relative to the distribution root. It does this by returning a " Path::Tiny " object which has a very nice interface. However Catalyst::Utils->home only works for perl classes. This works for class files and perl scripts via examining (caller)[1] and thus should never be used in code that will be instaled via a cpan client or other package manager. Sometimes support libaries will also live in the t/lib directory and the script/lib directory. dist_home will ignore these lib directories as part of finding the distribution root. Future versions of this module may make the list of what directories to ignore other lib sub directories user-configurable (patches welcome). FUNCTIONS dist_home Returns a Path::Tiny object of where the current code file executed thinks the distribution home directory is.
