# Dist::Build::ShareDir(3pm)

Sharedir support for Dist::Build

## NAME

Dist::Build::ShareDir - Sharedir support for Dist::Build

## VERSION

version 0.020

## SYNOPSIS

```
 load_extension("Dist::Build::ShareDir");
 dist_sharedir('share', 'Foo-Bar');
 module_sharedir('foo', 'Foo::Bar');
```

## DESCRIPTION

This Dist::Build extension implements sharedirs. It does not take any arguments at loading time, and exposts two functions to the planner:

### dist\_sharedir($dir, $distribution)

This marks `$dir` as the source sharedir for the distribution `$distribution`. If `$distribution` isn't given, it defaults to the `"distribution"` of the planner.

### module\_sharedir($dir, $module\_name)

This marks `$dir` as the source sharedir for the module `$module_name`. If `$module_name` isn't given, it defaults to the `"main_module"` of the planner.
