Dist::Zilla builds distributions of code to be uploaded to the CPAN. In this
respect, it is like ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build, or Module::Install.
Unlike those tools, however, it is not also a system for installing code that
has been downloaded from the CPAN. Since it's only run by authors, and is
meant to be run on a repository checkout rather than on published, released
code, it can do much more than those tools, and is free to make much more
ludicrous demands in terms of prerequisites.
.
It's aim is to generate every file which is needed by a CPAN
distribution, but usually generated and hence commonly not checked in
into a VCS repository. For that it reads a file called dist.ini and
gathers data from other files as instructured in that file.
