# dh-dzil-refresh(1)

runs "dh-make-perl refresh" in dzil's build directory

## NAME

dh-dzil-refresh - runs "dh-make-perl refresh" in dzil's build directory

## SYNOPSIS

```
  dh-dzil-refresh
  dh-dzil-refresh [-w|--wrap-and-sort] [-c|--clean-backup-files]
  dh-dzil-refresh [-a|--wrap-and-sort-always] [-c|--clean-backup-files]
  dh-dzil-refresh [-h|--help]
```

## OPTIONS

- "-w", "--wrap-and-sort"

  Run `"wrap-and-sort"` after `"dh-make-perl refresh"`.

- "-a", "--wrap-and-sort-always"

  Run `"wrap-and-sort -a"` after `"dh-make-perl refresh"`.

- "-c", "--clean-backup-files"

  Clean up `"*.bak"` backup files created by `"dh-make-perl refresh"`.

## COMMAND SPELLING

In comparison to dh\_dzil\_build and dh\_dzil\_clean, the command name is spelled with dash instead of underscores as it's not a debhelper plugin and only those should start with "dh\_". The only exemption is `"dh_make"` -- for historical reasons. Note that even `"dh-make-perl"` is spelled with dashes.

## SEE ALSO
