So I'm suspecting that the --tar option you mention probably predates
the ppd target, and doesn't use the setting?
Do you mean 'perl Build ppmdist'? All the above command will do is
generate the PPD (perl package description) file.
Duh! Too long since I did it before, I guess. But I thought I was sure
that I'd deleted the .gz first, and that it reappeared. But surely
ppmdist is what I meant.
Now using A::T, the result of perl Build ppmdist is a .tar.gz file, but
using --tar, it is a .tar file. Is there another option like --gzip to
supply another program to do the .gz compression, or must one just do
that manually?
