# CPANPLUS::Dist::Slackware This CPANPLUS plugin creates [Slackware](http://www.slackware.com/) compatible packages from Perl distributions. You can either install the created packages using the API provided by CPANPLUS or manually with "installpkg". ``` $ cpanp CPAN Terminal> i Some::Module --format=CPANPLUS::Dist::Slackware $ cpan2dist --format CPANPLUS::Dist::Slackware Some::Module $ sudo /sbin/installpkg /tmp/perl-Some-Module-1.0-i586-1_CPANPLUS.tgz ``` ## INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: ``` perl Makefile.PL make make test make install ``` ## DEPENDENCIES Slackware Linux 13.37 and Perl 5.12.3 or better and the sudo command are required. The fakeroot command is highly recommended. You can download a script that builds fakeroot from [SlackBuilds.org](https://slackbuilds.org/). ## SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION Type "perldoc CPANPLUS::Dist::Slackware" after installation to see the module usage information. If you want to hack on the source it might be a good idea to install [Dist::Zilla](http://dzil.org/) and grab the latest version with git using the command: ``` git clone https://github.com/graygnuorg/CPANPLUS-Dist-Slackware.git ``` ## LICENSE AND COPYRIGHT Copyright 2012-2020 Andreas Vögele This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
