The intent of File::ShareDir is to provide a companion to Class::Inspector
|
||
|
|
and File::HomeDir, modules that take a process that is well-known by
|
||
|
|
advanced Perl developers but gets a little tricky, and make it more
|
||
|
|
available to the larger Perl community.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Quite often you want or need your Perl module (CPAN or otherwise) to have
|
||
|
|
access to a large amount of read-only data that is stored on the
|
||
|
|
file-system at run-time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On a linux-like system, this would be in a place such as /usr/share,
|
||
|
|
however Perl runs on a wide variety of different systems, and so the use
|
||
|
|
of any one location is unreliable.
