NAME Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GenShellCompletion - Generate shell completion scripts when distribution is installed VERSION This document describes version 0.06 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GenShellCompletion (from Perl distribution Dist-Zilla-Plugin-GenShellCompletion), released on 2014-12-18. SYNOPSIS In your dist.ini: [GenShellCompletion] DESCRIPTION This plugin modifies "Makefile.PL" so that when a user installs your distribution with "make install", shcompgen is invoked to generate shell completion scripts for your scripts. This is convenient because immediately after the user installs your distribution, shell tab completion is already activated for your scripts. shcompgen recognizes several ways/hints to generate completion to your scripts. Please see its documentation for more details. Some notes: First, user must already install and setup shcompgen prior to installing your distribution. But if "shcompgen" is installed after your distribution is installed, she can simply run "shcompgen generate" to scan PATH and generate completion for all recognized programs, including yours. Second, this plugin's implementation strategy is currently as follow (probably hackish): insert some code in the generated "Makefile.PL" after "WriteMakefile()" to insert some targets in the "Makefile" generated by "Makefile.PL". Third, currently only MakeMaker is supported, Module::Build is not. SEE ALSO shcompgen CLI scripts using the Perinci::CmdLine framework will automatically have shell tab completion capability. "shcompgen" detects this. You can also use Getopt::Long::Complete or Getopt::Long::Subcommand. "shcompgen" also detects this. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at .
