Many Perl distributions use a Build.PL file instead of a Makefile.PL file to drive distribution configuration, build, test and installation. Traditionally, Build.PL uses Module::Build as the underlying build system. This module provides a simple, lightweight, drop-in replacement. Whereas Module::Build has over 6,700 lines of code; this module has less than 120, yet supports the features needed by most distributions. Supported * Pure Perl distributions * Building XS or C * Recursive test files * MYMETA * Man page generation * Generated code from PL files Not Supported * Dynamic prerequisites * HTML documentation generation * Extending Module::Build::Tiny * Module sharedirs Directory structure Your .pm and .pod files must be in lib/. Any executables must be in script/. Test files must be in t/. Dist sharedirs must be in share/.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
