It supports the C and C functions, except these functions have been enhanced to understand when the developer's local C<./share/> directory should be used. NOTE: module_dist and module_file are not yet supported, because (afaik) there is no well known way to populate per-module share files. This may change in the future. Please contact me if you know how to do this. =head1 PROBLEM AND SOLUTION L has an C directive that allows you to install various files associated with a distribution. By convention, module authors always put these in a directory called C. However, File::ShareDir can only find files after they have been installed. This can be problematic when running development tests. File::Share will look for a local C directory, if it notices that the module corresponding was loaded from a development path. L gives you an easy way to use a bunch of source repositories as though their lib and bin directories had already been installed. C lets you play along with that. =head1 SEE ALSO =over =item * L =back =head1 AUTHOR Ingy döt Net =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright 2011-2014. Ingy döt Net.
