The reason I asked was because I had to pull a similar stunt for a game
I'm working on ( "I, Bex!"). What I eventually did was override the
distdir target in Makefile.PL:
#####################
use strict;
require ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
import ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
open I, "<../ver.txt";
my $version = <I>;
chomp($version);
close(I);
# It's a kludge, but it works.
sub MY::dist_dir
{
my $self = shift;
package MY;
my $inherited = $self->SUPER::dist_dir(@_);
$inherited =~ s/\$\(DISTVNAME\)/\$(distdir)/g;
return $inherited;
}
WriteMakefile(
'NAME' => 'Shlomif::Games::IBex',
'DISTNAME' => 'IBex',
'VERSION' => $version,
'dist' =>
{
'PREOP' => 'chmod -R u=rwX,go=rX . ;',
'COMPRESS' => 'gzip -9v',
'SUFFIX' => '.gz',
},
);
#####################
Hope it helps.
